Jax

He turned 14 years old today.  He is one of the few dogs we have had this long.

Remembering him as a puppy while going through some old pics with our dog, Jake, and also as an adult with Skeeter.

His howl LOL.  My mother-in-law loves that.

Territorial he has been through his life, so unfortunately, he has bitten a few dogs. :(  Thankfully not in many years and mostly when he would break his chain.  He only really liked his brother, Jake.

The way he howls at Skeeter if he thinks Skeeter will eat his food.  “I don’t want it right now, but you can’t have it either.”  This is what I would think he would say if he could talk.

Memories of him and Jake chasing each other around the house.  Fast forward to him and Skeeter chasing each other.

His sweet, grey muzzle and the gray/white above his eyes that look like eye brows LOL

How he is my automatic door bell when the delivery guy comes with my Chinese food, even before I hear him.

His true love of my husband when he was so depressed in the last years of his life.  My husband said our dogs were better than medication.

The way he growls when my foot touches him in bed.  Yes, he has gotten used to sleeping with me the past few years.

He meets me at the door whenever I come home.  Love that.

He made it another year.  Shall we go for 15 Jax?
