Never fear, Jake is here!!

Haha...depending on who you are, reading that title might be a wee bit confusing.

Am I talking about a person?

Am I talking about a dog?

Hmmm...who/what could I possibly talking about?

WHO is Jake?

Jake is this sweet thing:

Pampered much?
{Please excuse the mess of a desk in the
background...I'm mid packing, and it's not pretty}

He's my new puppy dog!! And by puppy, I mean, seasoned adult of a dog...but you know, "they're always babies to us..." Or something like that... But, that's beside the point.

I am absolutely head-over-heels for this dog, second to BigBoy (of course)...

...Sorry Grimm, my love,

you're gonna have to slide down spot #3, but don't you worry, Fun Aunt Heather will always visit and take you to the park - maybe you and Jakers can have a play date someday! {Yes, Ricci, I totally stole this from your blog...}

Jake is definitely one of the few things I have at my fingertips that brings me instantaneous joy. Now if I could just get BigBoy to hurry up and like him...there's the kicker. He'll come around, he always does - it just takes him a little while to warm up to new critters.

So, yes, even though the new addition to my menagerie is proving to be a little bit of pain on the search for a new home, I couldn't be happier.

We already have a little routine going. Every morning we wake up and go play some fetch and then we play another round in the evenings before dinner. Sometimes we play a few more rounds during the day...it's just been so hot this week - we haven't done a lot of that.

So, there you are my lovelies. A cheery post for your reading pleasure :)

I'll let you know as soon as I find a little home to nestle my menagerie into...only time will tell.

Hope your week has been a blessed one.

Shalom!

P.S. - thanks for all of the encouragement. I'm so blessed to have it pouring in from seemingly all corners of the earth. :]

[Edit: I totally forgot to thank Patrick and Sarah and Zach for sharing Jake with me and letting me take him up to the FT with me - y'all are the best cousins a gal could ask for. I will miss you so, so terribly!!!]
