Our new Dog!

So we went to the Humane Society of Utah about 2 1/2 weeks ago looking for a dog named Jackson. They brought us the dog, he was super shy and nervous yet very cute and quiet. We decided to give it a shot and brought him home that same day on a weeks trial period. Jorge and I said "well if he doesn't come around we will return him before the week is up". We really liked him and wanted him to respond better to our family dinamics and to show us that he loves us in return. By Tuesday of the following week he was starting to show signs of responding more to us specially me, he followed me everywhere and would sit down by my feet while I worked. As the days went by he started to come out of his shell and really show us his true personality. We decided to keep him and adopted him a week after. Jackson is an 8 yrs old English Springer Spaniel mix, he is kind, quiet, lovable, loyal, good to us, doesn't bark unless someone is at the door, he sleeps all night in his own room downstairs, he is good with the kids (yet he is still scared of them once in awhile), he is all trained and just such a GOOD DOG. We hit the jack pot with jackson. This is the type of dog we were looking for. A polite and playful companion.

This is when Jackson was still in his shy and nervous stage.

He is alittle scared of cameras so I need to get a more up to date picture.

Christmas 2011

This year Christmas Day was on a Sunday. We got together Christmas Eve with my family for dinner, games and dancing. We had a great time together. Christmas Day we opened our presents early sunday morning and then went to church. After church all of our family came over and we had a brunch. We had ham, rolls, salad, fruit salad and cinnamon rolls. The food was very good and we had a great time opening more presents. For New Years we went all to eat at a restaurant and then we came home and fixed some Tequenos to snack on. Tequenos are cheese sticks with a dough wrapped around the cheese and then we fry it. It is delicouse. We were prepared to wait for the new year but we all fell asleep watching Kung Fu panda 2.
