Me and Beez went for a little walk yesterday. She kept stopping to rub her face in the leaves. Such a pretty girl. Who doesn’t love a classic black and white outfit?

This is me and Bijou Grace (Beez) a few weeks ago close to bedtime. You know she’s tired when she sits still long enough to get petted.

Check me out in Christmas jammies in August!

Look at Bijou’s pretty face. Dogs truly are man’s best friends. And woman’s, too!

“I want snackies 24/7, not just before bedtime. I want fifteen more pillows on the bed. Screw you if you don’t have any place to sleep! Dogthing should be returned to wherever the hell she came from. I demand that weather is always at optimum window opening temperature. I don’t want rain or snow or cold. I ban ringing telephones, loud music, noisy cars, people yelling in other apartments, and all tv shows unless they are about dinosaurs. Baths do not exist, but brushing, grooming and flattering can occur on a regular basis. I must be complimented, praised and/or told I am the most wonderful cat ever at least 57 times a day. That is all. For now……”

I love my DIL, Jac. His floppy ears, his big brown eyes, his stumpy little tail. Oh, he’s definitely captured my heart…

Yes, that’s dog-in-law, ever after known as DIL because there is no daughter-in-law except for me. Meet Jac:

Jac was adopted from the Humane Society by my in-laws about 7 weeks ago. He’s named after a Boston Red Socks player, Jacoby Elisbury. He’s half Jack Russell Terrier and half dachshund and weighs 12 1/2 pounds. His top jaw is much longer than his bottom jaw, giving him a goofy “duh” smile that makes you laugh. He turned 3 on May 1st, but we missed his birthday, because the vet never told anyone what his microchip said.

I bought him a harness and a t-shirt as a belated birthday gift. I put the shirt on him and it was like he had always been wearing it. He’s excellently trained and likes to be picked up and carried around. I wonder about the circumstances that lead him to be homeless.

I like to rub his velvety ears, especially the left one because it’s leopard-print. I also like to kiss the soft spot right next to his eyes.

I’m glad he has found his forever home and that he is a part of my life.

You instantly found a place in my heart. I love you, Jac-a-roo!
