Meet Jack the Dog! A small dog with a big life!

Even though she was bigger, Jack would not let Chloe into his space (the bedroom)!
Jack was NOT happy when the luggage came out; he knew what that meant!

Jack the Mighty!
Once Jack saw Chloe using the doggie door, he suddenly had an idea of his own!
Jack was determined to get in and out of the house on his own...so we built him a ramp!
Beautiful Colorado...and Jack!

Jack the Dog!
This is how we would get around town! I would ride my bike and pull Jack in the pet carrier (see the wheelchair on the back of the bike?!?!)

Nothing stopped Jack...including the snow!

Before he was paralyzed, Jack graduated from dog obedience school! He was the star of his class ;)

Even though he wasn't invited, Jack REALLY wanted to be a flower dog in our wedding!
A Day in the Life of Jack the Dog!
This is a VERY old tech version of an iMovie I made in 2013 (!) but it’s still a great way to get to know Jack!
In 2005 when Jack was paralyzed…
I didn’t even own a cell phone! And when I eventually got one, I had a flip phone for years! 🤪🙃👏🏼 All of that to say why I have very little photos or videos of Jack. This one that I dug out of the archives was recorded at the Denver Dumb Friends League of Castle Rock when Jack was meeting his new sister, Chloe. Jack was a very loving dog….towards me…with other humans or animals, he was much more cautious and well, unpleasant. The fact that Jack let Chloe sniff around before he tried to wheel away was the green light necessary for Chloe to become part of our family!
Chloe proved to be the best possible sibling for Jack. She was fun, energetic and deferred to Jack as the alpha. She even taught Jack a thing or two…like how to use a doggie door (true story!) , protected Jack at the dog park (see the above video) and gave Jack a hiking partner!
