Jazzy

We have a new addition to our family!
Introducing:
Jazzy, the Australian Shepherd mix dog!


We got her yesterday from the Clovis Pet Adoption Center (on Villa between Barstow and Bullard) after looking at different dogs and different shelters for a few days.


Although we do have Squirt, our parakeet, we have been wanting a dog for a long time. I always grew up with dogs, (big and little, outside and inside) and Jeremy has never have the privilege (he's lived in unfenced country in Sanger his whole life) and always wanted one.


Jazzy was known as the "office dog" at the shelter because she was so calm, friendly, and loving. No matter how many dogs barked at her out of jealousy or how many new people visited the office, she always remained happy and serene. She was tranquil but not boring because she loved to lick and rub up against her well-known friends working the office.


We learned only a few things about Jazzy. For example, she is approximately 5 years old, medium in size, she knows how to walk properly on a leash, and she is very good at sitting on command.


We bought some essentials before picking her up and then went on an exciting car ride to PetSmart to pick out food and other fun things with Jazzy. Now that she's home with us, we've discovered that she doesn't like toys (in fact, she whines in fright at anything that squeaks), she's a picky eater, she likes taking a bath, she crosses her legs like a lady, and she LOVES attention and love.




In her new home, she is learning new tricks like stay, lie down, go ni-night, go out, etc. She is making a lot of progress and is hopefully very happy with her new home!
