I came across the CASPCA blog today and thought I'd send along an update on Jack, whom we adopted in January 2009. We found him on Petfinder.com and immediately fell in love with his big-headed, short-legged little brown self. We re-named him Wrigley - originally because Jeremy is a Chicago Cubs fan, but as we came to learn, his entire doggy body tends to "Wriggle" when he's really happy. It's quite adorable and just one of the many things we love about him.
We really can't imagine life without Wrigley. He recently learned to roll over -- now it's the only trick he ever wants to do (I think he likes the treat AND belly rub combination reward). He goes running with Jeremy often, and we take him to the dog park a few days each week. He is obsessed with swimming - in the warmer months he'll stay in the water for a couple hours, like a little kid at the swimming pool.
When we're at home he loves to lounge on the couch. If we're also sitting on the couch, he insists on being in our laps. When my husband is sitting at his desk working on the computer, Wrigley will climb into his lap. And while he's technically not allowed to sleep in our bed, he has a sneaky habit of waiting until we are asleep, and then when we wake up in the morning, he's curled up at our feet. Notice a pattern? We have a 50 lb. lap dog!
We feel incredibly lucky to have Wrigley in our family. We are so grateful to the wonderful staff and volunteers at CASPCA who took such loving care of our sweet dog before we met him.
Thank you, thank you, thank you!
