Jack, my sweet boy, became part of our family at only 8 weeks old. He was feisty and loyal. He loved his human siblings and his mama, fiercely. We would play fight and he would bite gently knowing not to hurt us. Opening his own Christmas gifts was a highlight of our holidays. He would bite piece by piece spitting each piece out before going for the next until he got to the treat or stuffed animal.
Jack was the talk of the neighborhood. He would turn into Cujo when he encountered a bigger dog but was far more gentle with dogs his own size and older dogs. Most of his neighbors just laughed and said “you’re so ferocious” lol. He was selective with whom he liked but when he chose you, he loved you. His “girlfriend” was one of the chosen ones. She became his sitter and he loved to go to her house and get spoiled. He was even able to hang with other dogs at her house. He didn’t let me into his own house.
The highlight of Jack’s day was when his mama would come home from work. He always greeted me with a wagging tail and kisses. Then we would go out for our usual walk throughout the neighborhood where he would sniff every flower and lift his leg on every single leaf, bush or tree.
Jack will be missed beyond measure.
