Meet Jake!

I know you were thinking that we'd never get around to getting a puppy, but the stars must have been aligned this weekend. Our local springer breeder had a 11 week old puppy available for adoption, and it took us about five minutes to decide he would be a great dog for our family. It's taken us a good 48 hours to name him, and after thinking of some brilliant names, we finally settled on the one I came up with because it just seems to suit him best: Jake.

Jake is calm and already knows how to sit and sleep in his crate. He loves to play and wiggle, and he gets really nauseous in cars. Pika has pretty much steered clear of the puppy's playroom off the kitchen, but still snuggles with me at night.
