Happy St Jactrick's Day!

Most people know March 17th as St. Patrick's Day, but in our house, it's Jack's birthday.  Today our little man turns one year old.  We haven't had him a year yet, but one year ago, the little pregnant dog that was rescued from a high kill animal shelter in Alabama, gave birth to a little of pups.

Trixie--Jack's Mom

A few weeks later they made their way to Ohio and a few weeks after that Jack found his way to our house.

Jack and Ellie, the day we brought him home.

So, on the day of his birth, I'd like to send a "Thank You" to the woman that took the time and effort to save a pregnant dog, whelp a litter of puppies and drive them to Ohio.  All your work has not gone unappreciated.  Every day I cure you.  THANK--I mean thank you!  I THANK you every day.  (Freudian slip)

Jack's latest mess.

We're happy with our little man and so glad that there are people out there willing to do the work that you do.  I know it must be hard and heartbreaking, but also so rewarding.

Olivia LOVES Jack!  Jack loves how easy it is to take food from Olivia.

Also, a BIG thank you to Save A Mom Pregnant Dog rescue, the rescue that took in Trixie and her litter from Alabama and found homes for all of them.  (Adoptable Dogs)  So as you're eating your corned beef and cabbage tonight (or more likely drinking your Guinness) we'll be celebrating for another reason.  Happy St. Jactrick's Day!
