Well, we went a whole month without a dog and then this little guy needed a home. We call him Jack, after the famous pirate Jack Sparrow. So far it fits. He's now 8 weeks old, very active and VERY clever! I'd forgotten how much work a puppy can be.
He has already wormed his way into our hearts and filled a bit of the space left from losing Cappy. I'm already getting greetings when i come home, they're just smaller.
Jack's dad is a border collie (55 pounds) and mom is a german shepard/giant schnauzer mix (110 pounds). Should be interesting. Right now he looks like a shepard pup-his ears are even starting to point up. We'll see what he looks like in a few months.
