We discovered our neighbors lost their Jack Russell terrier past away two days before we picked up Jack. Their dog was also named Jack so it was bittersweet for them to have a new Jack on the block.
Our Jack’s arrival was met with a sick teenager who managed to stay sick all week and then spread his sickness to his Dad. So I spent a lot of time with our new “boy”.

Jack also added some special joy during a difficult week bc a close family friend Shirley died after a battle with cancer. To quote a well-known saying..”When God closes one door he opens another.”"
