Jazz

We got a new family member yesterday. The four of us went to the "Everything Pets Expo" at the convention center in Cincinnati and by the time we left we had adopted this adorable 13 week old black terrier mix, that we've named Jasmine, (but we like calling her Jazz). She's a bit shy but she is getting more comfortable in her new surroundings and opening up little by little. She's really a very sweet girl and likes to sit on my lap and follow me around. She doesn't bark very much, if at all. When I first saw her I thought she was a Lab, but her snout is a little thinner and more like a Jack Russell.

We adopted her through the Stray Animal Adoption Program (SAAP) for $100, which was really a great value. For that amount she already has been spayed and comes with all of her necessary vaccinations. We also got a sample of dog food, a dog training DVD, and some valuable coupons for various dog necessities.

The boys weren't too keen on her at first. We were looking at adopting a 2 year old beagle at the SPCA, but the boys would have none of it, so we decided we would come back later, but we found Jazz right after that . I asked Cooper if he wanted to get the dog and he said firmly and defiantly, "No, dog!" She was just too cute and Micole and I knew the boys would come around. Once they realized we were taking her home, they warmed up too her.

She might grow to be 30-40 pounds, but she could very well be much smaller. Right now she is about the size of medium sized cat.
