Let It Snow, Let it Snow, Let it Snow!

The latest news is Jack and Tana have moved to Germantown, Maryland. Unfortunately there is no big back yard here, but that means that they now get to do long walks around the hood!!

Something Tells Me I'm Into Something Good

You know why this place is so worth it? For starters, in the back yard where Jack and Tana like to run a lot, there are wooden boxes with most wonderful tasty stuff (the humans call it "manure" for whatever reason). What can be more pleasant to run by and have a good dig and indulge in some good, flavorful, smelly goodness?!

Pass That by Me One More Time

Jack and Tana are always ready for a treat, but they know that as there is no free lunch so there are no free treats...They are learning how to earn their treats by following the commands and they are such good dogs. The below video demonstrates STAY, and we are working on DOWN now.

Who's That Lady??

Well...it happened. The newly adopted Tana arrived and boy she caused a lot of stir. She blew Jack's mind!! This girl is a real tom-boy! She runs around the house, jumps on the furniture, on the kitchen counters and snatches human food, she even does garbage diving. Jack is totally smittened: wow! Tana barks, God forbid! She has no fear of anything, not even of the Hoover animal. Tana can open doors of all kinds! She can do things Jack would never dare...wow, what a girl. While working on just trying to fit in, Tana also showed the bossy side. But Jack doesn't mind. He lets her play his toys and watches her eat his food, waging his tail.

Really Wanna Know You

Have you heard the news? Jack's humans said they are adopting another dog. Her name is Tana and she lives now in upstate New York. While all that is great and everything, but Jack has to do a lot of thinking: will the humans love Jack anymore once this Tana is in the house? Will she be mean to Jack? Will she eat his food? Sleep on his bed? All of these thoughts pacing in Jack's head during hot Virginia summer days.

Summertime...and the Livin' is Easy

Are you aware Jack is an avid gardener these days?

Would You Know My Name If I Saw You in Heaven?

Tais died on May 13, 2010. She will stay in Jack's heart forever. This image was taken only a couple of weeks before her passing.
