I found Jack yesterday after I went on a sleigh ride in Liberty (up by Eden) with my family! (Jaren couldn't come because he was working.) When I arrived at the place with my family to go for the sleigh ride, I saw a million dogs ahead (more like 8). Before I got out of the car, I had a discussion with my sister and cousin about how much I disliked dogs. But when I got out of the car, none of the dogs jumped or slobbered all over me. They were SO calm and nice! I instantly loved them. One of them rode next to me the whole ride. My uncle was fond of the dogs too, and he started talking to a guy about the dogs and the guy mentioned that they had puppies and there were only 2 left. After the ride, my family and I went to see the puppies.
When I picked one up, I just knew he had to be part of the family! Jaren is always talking about how much he loves puppies and dogs, so I decided to buy one and surprise him! (I know, a very impulsive decision. I'm not normally like this I promise!) I still am in shock that I bought him. I can't believe I really did this! I didn't consult Jaren beforehand because... (a) I REALLY wanted to see the look on his face when I showed up at the house with a puppy-dog, he would NEVER expect me to do that!! and (b) If I called Jaren beforehand, him being the rational person that he is, he might tell me no! (For good reasons, I'm sure). So... I took the risk! I figured if Jaren did get mad it would only last 2 seconds and then he would look at the puppy and love him forever.
When I showed up at the house, I rang our doorbell and Jaren answered by saying, "What IS that?!" (He thought it was a rabbit at first.) Then we stepped into the light and he said, "What did you DO?!" (But with a look on his face that told me he was REALLY happy and excited.) And finally he said, "Unbelievable Sarah. Unbelieveable." (As he's hugging and kissing the puppy.) He was really excited and did not doubt my decision once. He LOVES Jack. He loves him probably more than me, and I love him lots! I was kind of worried because technically we are not supposed to have pets where we live. But I went against better judgement and bought him, I just felt like we needed him. Even Jaren agrees that we need him. Somehow everything will work out!
Jack LOVES to cuddle with us and follows us around everywhere! He is super mellow during the day and loves to sleep. But during the night, he's quite the playful one. He's nocturnal I think. We got NO sleep last night. He barked ALL night at us!! I think Jaren and I got 2-3 hours of sleep total last night. So after Jaren left for work at 4 in the morning, I let Jack come in my room. He curled up in a corner and has slept peacefully all day. What a cutie!! Hopefully he will learn to sleep through the night though!!
