5 Years With The Furball Who Stole Our Hearts

I'm not sure how, but today marks 5 years since Jenny adopted us as her humans! We always say Jenny is the best spontaneous decision we have ever made. We weren't planning to get a dog on February 5th, 2011, but sometimes you walk into Petco and a brown dog steals your heart. 

Jenny really does make our little world go round. There is something about having a member of the family who is constantly happy, unconditionally loving, and just grateful to be part of the pack. 

I often refer to Jenny as "my best girlfriend", and ain't that the truth. I count hanging out with Jenny as being social, and that brown fur holds all my secrets and many tears. I talk to her like she's people and sometimes think she can almost understand. Then she licks her butt in the middle of my story, and I remember that she is, indeed, a dog. But she's my dog, my companion, and my buddy.

Jenny's interests include: playing with other pups, chasing woodland creatures, peanut butter, licking her butt, and Parker. The order is still up for debate, but those pretty much sum up her interests. She basically thinks Parker hung the moon and wants to be around him all the time. If he's outside, that's where she'd like to be too, please. Those two are a package deal.

I am so glad we decided to go "pet the puppies" on February 5th, 2011. Jenny has taught us so much about love and joy and patience and really has changed our lives for the better. We are forever indebted to the wonderful organization God's Little Creatures in College Station, TX for giving us our pup. We may have rescued her, but it sure feels like the other way around.
