Introducing Captain Jack Phelps



This happens everytime we send off a son...we get a dog.  Philip goes to KU, we get Tybee.  Hugh goes to NC, we get a dog. Actually, Steve has felt the need for a male companion for quite some time.  Over the last couple of months he's been looking at pups.  At first we thought we'd end up with a large dog, but over time he decided that he really wanted a lap dog, much like I have Tybee.  So, much to my surprise, after church today, he's looking through the paper at, yes, Jack Russells. I can't argue...Tybee has been an excellent pet.  Her biggest fault is believeing she's human.  Steve wants another man in the house.  In his mind there are enough bit... females.  He finds an ad for 2 males and a female.  By the time we connect with the folks, there is one male and one female.  The female was very outgoing and, as Jacks can be, hyper.  But this little guy just came up to Steve and wanted to love on him.  What is kind of fun is that Tybee is white with brown markings.  A very pretty dog.  Captain is brown with white markings.  Very unusual for a Jack, and a very pretty, or should I say a handsome dog.  He's sooooo cute.  Tybee is being so gracious.  She even let Captain take her bone away!  I feel like a new mom. It's kind of silly, but kind of fun.  The most fun is watching Steve dote over this dog.  Sometimes just the little things in life, like loving a dog, are the best things in life.

Sasha will be so excited to have another playmate when she visits! Okay, seriously, she will growl now more than ever. But, Steve you chose a very adorable dog. I'm sure he'll turn into the manliest little dog on the block.
