You Don't Know Jack!


This is my dog, Jack. He's a Dachshund mix. This is Jack's story. Jack was orginally my roommate's dog, but when she saw that I was so down that my ex took our German Sheppard mix when we split, so Jack was given to me. My roommate had 2 dogs at the time and so everything just panned out just right. I went with my roommate the day that she adopted Jack from the Clovis Animal Shelter. We went there to orginally get a little fluffy puppy but she had already been adopted by the time we'd arrived. We could have just left and came back another day for a different dog but the Clovis Animal Shelter is not a 'No Kill' shelter. So, we both felt bad and that's when we saw Jack. He was very happy to see us paying attention to him. You see, when Jack wags his tail his own back end wags too, and I found that to be the cutest thing. We've had our problems with him as well, though. It's in every Dachshund's mind to be very territorial over anything they believe to be thiers. Whether it be territory, toys, or even their owners. It scared me when he first attacked my roommate's other dog who was only about 7 months old at the time, but it turns out, that's just what his breed does. I've fallen too much in love with him to give him up now. He sleeps with me and he makes sure to move over if I start kicking and pushing while I'm in bed. And don't ever allow another human being or dog come in my room cause Jack is ready to attack. I think it's safe to say that you know Jack, now!
