We did it...

The newest member of our family... Jack Blackie (as Marin calls him, it's really just Jack.)

The 3 VERY happy new owners...

This is how he rode the entire way from Grace to Blackfoot! (is that legal?)

Trying to teach him to poop in the field, not the yard... we'll see how this goes, so far, no luck!

Who's happy we have a new puppy?????

The second they roll out of bed in the morning, they are with Jackie Boy!

We are officially dog owners. Matt and the kids went to purchase a puppy Saturday afternoon at the fair, but the dog was honestly sold just minutes before they got there (they actually saw the people leaving with him as they walked in!). Of course that sent Jace and Marin into a crying frenzy and so what did daddy-o do? He thumbed through the paper, made several phone calls and found their new puppy in Grace. They all jumped in the car and rode the hour and a half to get Jack, our new Black Labrador. He is so cute and so loved... Great to have another child the same age as my baby... once I get this guy potty trained to not poop in the yard it will be time to start Macey! (course she won't be going in the yard!!) Macey is still trying to figure out if she likes him or not. She likes him from a distance (when someone is holding her), but not so fond of him when she's on the ground and he can touch her (you all know her DRAMATIC cry with BIG TEARS running down her cheeks!!). We are excited to start this adventure as a family! Wish us luck!!

Well, better you than us. We actually just buried ours this past weekend from old age. Paul keeps claiming we need a new one right away, but I think he will have to wait a bit.
Have fun with Jack! He is cute!
Love,
Jill
ps...good luck in St. George!

ALL my boys want a dog really bad. We're hoping to hold off until Christmas. He's super cute.
