Snowshoeing Adventures!

My nephew Carter, Jack, and I went snowshoeing.  It was so incredibly much fun!  We had a complete blast!  It was a gorgeous day and we had a good time getting some much needed exercise

Jack absolutely loves the snow! It makes him so happy

Funny action shot of the boy

It was lightly snowing, but sooo beautiful up here in Eden

Jack found some deer that he was desperate to chase.  Thank heavens he is very obedient or else we may have had a dog vs deer fight on our hands

I love it here

I was ROBBED!!!

This was an unfortunate situation all around.  I guess you live and learn!  I had worked a night shift and come home and gone to bed. Several hours later, I received a phone call from chase for a fraud alert.  Thank heavens for chase fraud alerts!  I went out to my car and found that the window had been broken and my GPS stolen.  I had accidently left my wallet in the glove box for literally the first time ever!!  Well, that was the day that someone decided to rob me!  They got my wallet, all my credit cards, gift cards, work certification cards and my drivers license.  Not to mention my wallet that I had bought while on vacation.

They used almost $3000 on my debit and credit cards!  Bugs me so bad!  The little $!@&*#&.  People who steal irritate me more than anything else on earth!  Get a life!  Get a job!!  Quit ruining our lives!!  There little spree has cost me hundreds of dollars that I will never get back.  Good people suffer because of the selfishness of others.  Makes me so incredibly mad!

Happy 4th Birthday Jack!

Lots of pictures of Jack through the years.

Handsome Baby Boy Jack when I first brought him home. He was 12 weeks old at the time.

Is he not the absolute most gorgeous dog ever?

My little surfer.  He did so incredibly great!

Jack is so precious to me.  He is such an important part of my family. I am so thankful that he has been my little buddy for 4 years and I hope for many to come! I have so many nicknames that I like to call him!  Jackie Wackie, Hanse, My Handsome One, The Handsomest, The cutest, My little rebel, My little surfer, the babe, my baby boy, Sweets, Jackster Baxter, and if I like a little french influence, I call him Jac-kai

Wac-kai, The most Precious-est, and I tell him on a daily basis that I love him more than life.

Some may call me insane or think I am crazy for loving my dog, but he really is a part of my family and I appreciate him so much for being a part of my life.  I could not love him more than I do.
