New Addition

We have a new addition to the family! He is a 4 year old Black Lab mix named Jax. We have been wanting to get a dog for years but because of moving it never seemed to be the right time. Now that we are done moving the hunt for the perfect dog began. At first we wanted to buy a puppy, but they are expensive and alot of work! We then searched the pounds and online yet never found the right dog. We finally thought we had found thee dog, a two year old beagle, which ended up not working out. After all that we gave up on getting a dog for awhile. Fast forward 3 months and I am calling my hubby to tell him I have found the perfect dog for FREE! While visiting my parents in Idaho the kids and I fell in love with their 4 year old black lab named Jax. He was so sweet and mellow. Never barked and does not jump on the kids. So we all agreed that he would get much more love and attention living with me. So we made the 14 hour drive with 2 kids and a dog back home to Washington. It took some time adjusting to having a dog but now he's part of the family and we cant imagine our lives with out him.

Wow! I am so jealous! What a beautiful dog, and you already know everything about him so you know you made a good choice!
