Introducing JACK



I've had Edna Bitely nearly 8 years and I thought it was time to add to our family so yesterday Noelle, Rich and I drove north of town about 40 miles and found...

JACK

A new addition to the family, and like Edna, she is an English Springer Spaniel. She is liver and white and has a mask just like Ed's. She is only 5 weeks old (which I didn't realize when I got her) but Jack is now drinking goats milk and eating water softened puppy food.

For the past 36 hours we've been trying to come up with a name.

We were looking for something that fit with Edna's name, a female name that can be shortened to a male name like Edna (Eddie/Ed.) We almost chose Esther but tonight Fettit came up with Jacqueline (Jackie/Jack.)

As a welcome to the family present, Steven, of the Wiley-Conforti's gifted Jackie tonight with an animal print buddy (Noelle's term for blanket).

Welcome Jack to our family!

how sweet she is so cute - ya think she will grow into her feet?

only 5 weeks that explains why she is a bit wobbly - she is gonna be a big girl - she will be happy with all your company - bound to be spoiled. ;o)

be safe and well - enjoy!!!

She IS bound to be spoiled.... jsut like Ed... who isnt too crazy about her.

She is keeping to herself.....

Jackie's has Edna's mask and that is the reason I got her. There were several to pick from but I wanted a puppy that would closely resemble Ed....

Her mom is a little bigger than Ed... but thats okay... Jackie was once of the smaller pups.

TOO DAMN ADORABLE!
