Jake had been wanting a dog for over a year. Our requirement was that he attend a few dog obedience classes and research a dog. He found a breed that he really wanted and found a pup in Iowa. It is a Japanese bred of dog called a Shib Inu. Jake had to work for the dog and pay for half. All his money he earned for 45 hours in the field went to pay for half the dog. Mark and I helped with the other half. He was a high priced little dog. All 3 kids were excited to see the little dog, so they made the trip with me to get him. We drove an hour to Arcadia, Iowa. We saw the puppies parents and Rosco. He was a little 10 week old small ball of energy. He was making laps around the kitchen table. He was so excited you could barely pet him. That made me nervous, I am not a fan of hyper little dogs. We got in the car to have a family conference and talk about the dog. Jacob was already in love and there was no turning back. Jake handed over the money and they handed over the pup. Jake was all smiles and his pup seemed to claim him. He is awfully cute and fuzzy. He has a ton of energy and I say he is ADHD. He doesn't really pay attention to you or come to you when called. He is all over the place and curious. He makes these cute little grunts when you pet him and he curls up to you when you pet him. He retrieves a ball and sits for you. It will be an adjustment and he will need some training, Jake is the happy owner of his very own pup. And now we have three dogs!
