Jack And The Bathtub

Sorry I haven't been posting lately. I've been kind of busy, because I'm doing school. Then on Mondays I go shopping with Mom and watch 24 (TV show). on Wednesdays I watch Mythbusters (TV show). On Fridays and Saturdays I hang out with Family. And On Sundays I go to Church. But I digress. Back to Jack!


Here's Jack playing in the bathtub! Every time I see him playing in the tub I laugh out loud (in a high pitched giggle as always). The last time I saw him playing like that was in the summer in the kiddy pool. Oh, he bites the garden hose kind of on command.
Now, after a bath, and I dry him off then he wants to get right back in, it's so funny.
Later, I hope to post a video of Jack and all the tricks we can remember.
Today, when Mom and I where shopping, we saw a training agility course for $40, then, we saw one for $20, there wasn't much in it. Both are expensive for Mom and Dad with the current events in our family. Plus Mom and Dad are kind of Tightwads. Mom talks about it a little in her blog, Gluten Free family.

Jack has a history for taking fluffies. He still tries to get away with it, we pay attention a little more, now.

This is a picture of Jack taking my teddy bear. It looks pretty resent because he has a red collar. We have many more pictures of him stealing my teddy bear
and other fluffies.







I also have a baby doll that Jack likes to "baby sit" sometimes; he also likes to take my Barbie and Ken doll shoes and chew on them, then I have one shoe nice and pretty and the other shoe all chewed up and nasty.






Here is another picture with Jack and his own teddy bear.








This picture is around the time for Jack's nap. I thought it might be cute if I put Jack's teddy bear (Crusty)under his arm. It took like five tries before I got one of Jack with his eyes closed.

Jack and I

Yesterday, Morning I had time to play with Jack, so we were howling and as we were howling I sneaked out to take the garbage out. And when I came back Jack said something kind of weird. Mom is usually the expert at translating what Jack says so I asked her, and after a bit she said, " I think that he is saying,'Hello, I love you!'" at that moment Jack look at her which mean she was right, so I said, "Hello, I love you, Jack!" Then Jack started to give me kisses.

I feel like Jack is like a brother, we do a lot together like I showed you in one of my previous posts.
Mom says that when Jack says 'I love you!' when we come back from shopping or something, (and he's in the cage for an hour or so) he actually means 'I miss you!'

I have been wanting to post some pictures, but my upload speed kind of tends to be bad and if it is good then I might have a "client error" It gets me kind of mad.

Good night.

Things Jack likes to eat

I have Celiac disease, and so does Mom; so she makes gluten-free, dairy-free pancakes and they are so good. (but I digress.) When Mom make them Jack just has to have one. He likes the bread Mom makes, and the biscuits.

Sometimes if Mom makes the pancakes on a school day, Jack will bug me until I follow him into the kitchen and give him one... then he'll be happy.

Mom will make banana bread today and I'm sure it will be REALLY good. I think Jack will be wanting some of that banana bread, but I'm afraid that he will be able to only have just a little bite of it, due to his low blood sugar. Which runs in the family. 80p

Jack LOVES peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. I'll explain.
Dad would bring home bits of sandwiches for Jack and one time he brought a bite each of ground bologna and P&J I gave him a choice between the two and he picked the P&J.

It's cool to see how Jack is SO much like a little boy in a dog suit, or a little Brother.

What Jack did on Valentines Day.

Yesterday I was talking to Jack about the next day being Valentines day and I was asking him what his valentines day gift for me will be.
The next day, I was watching my usual Saturday morning TV shows, and when Dad woke up Jack did, too; Jack jumped up onto the arm of our love seat, and started to give me kisses.
I believe that he understood that today was Valentines Day, and that people are to give gifts...and sometimes kisses.

Like I said in my first post, I know every one thinks that their dog is the most awesome and the most smartest dog in the universe. We are TOTALLY there!

Share with me what your dog does, from saying something or doing something. Does he (or she) give you hugs and kisses on command or when he wants to?

I gave Jack a bath today

I try to give Jack a bath once a week because family pets him a whole bunch, so he will get oils on his fur. Last week I gave him a bath, then... just what I wanted, I gave him a bath a week later!
This time I purposely put a floaty thing in the bathtub, which was a piece of a paper towel tube that I saved just for the occasion. (He riped it up for the fun of it.) I told Jack to get in the tub I few times, when without pushing him...he got in the tub! I praised him and praised him.
To make his hair REALLY smooth and soft, I use my hair conditioner on him.

I'm sure that every one tries to make their dog go into the tub for a bath, maybe this might help, try finding what YOU know that they like and will go after, maybe a ball or a floaty thing (a feather for bird dogs) maybe bribe them to get in the tub with a piece of food or cookie.
I hope this will help all of you clean dog lovers.

Jack's "new" bed.

Yes, that is a playpen(With a bean bag inside, which Jack LOVES). My mom told Jack,"get up there!" so Jack did, but I think that I had to coax him with a cookie. It was so cool that I took something like five pics but Mom and I thought this one was the best.
