Dear Jack,
Happy Birthday to you, today you are 2!
You came to live with us 20 months ago when Ms Glade was 18.
You were a little bundle of cuteness who loved to chew everything in sight. I remember how fondly I regarded you when I could no longer sit at the garden table because you had chewed the leg off and, himself was propping it up hoping I wouldn’t notice – such happy times!
You have always been so placid and content. I love that you have chosen me as your pack sister but it would be wonderful if you could do as I ask now and again. It is important that I get your lead on before we get to the road.
You are such a much loved addition to our family. You have to be walked whatever the weather and it is usually on these walks that we have our best conversations. You always greet each of us as though we are your favourite and,wag your tail furiously all the time.
Most importantly we are all mindful that:
You are a part of our world but we are yours!
Thank you for choosing us Jack!
If this has inspired you to become a dog owner, please read this post by Cornish Mum first!
Have a lovely day!
Into The Glade! 
Aw Jack is gorgeous! I love dogs, but I also love my house, I’m not sure I could cope with having one again! Our last one loved me but hated one of my boys no matter what I did, so sadly had to choose between them – and legally couldn’t sell one of them 😉

Ha! Gosh that’s strange that he took against one of your boys, that must have been awful! Fingers very firmly crossed Jack is over the destructive stage but it’s taken a while. Thanks for letting me link your post too xx

I am such a dog lover, we adopted Holly-Rose in January and she is cheeky but has added so much joy to our lives. She was the runt of a litter that was never meant to be born, but we are so happy to have her. We rescued 2 kittens a couple of weeks ago, these animals give us such joy, they are family. Happy birthday Jack xx

It’s funny how important they become to the family, I hate coming home when he is already out with someone. He does always want to sit by me wherever we are, but just doesn’t do what I ask him ha! I was sorry about your lovely kitten, London, so sad xx

Our new pup arrives in a couple of weeks, chocolate labrador. I’m a bit scared about the chewing, and the crying at night! Your Jack looks so good, can’t imagine him being naughty at all 😉

Oh how lovely, I wanted a chocolate one at first but then he chose us. I think it is tricky at first but worth it. Good luck! If you need a dog sitter ………… X
