Write a poem about a time someone made you smile.
You sounded funny on the phone
Something fishy with your tone
Eager to meet us back at home
With a “package”…I should have known.
You opened the door up just a crack
You smiled at us, we smiled back
Not sure what to make of your strange pack
Until it opened and out popped Jack.

What a darling puppy and wonderful addition to your family. :)
Holly L says
Jack would surely make me smile..he’s cute!
Kisha Floren says
Like you had a choice after the little one’s smile…look at her! Only thing that could be cuter than that puppy. :)
Leslie Limon says
Awwww! What a cute little puppy! I want one! :)
Natalie says
That is the cutest little dog. EVER. I almost makes me want a little one. He kinda reminds me of Gismo from the movie Gremlins. Or an Ewok.
Dominique @Dominique's Desk says
That’s a really cute puppy.
Angie says
Oh, my goodness! Jack’s adorable! Is he a shih-tsu (sp?). And Natalie’s right, he does look like a baby Ewok :)
Tima says
He’s adorable!
Melissa B. says
He’s the guy who’s hanging out in back.
The guy who’s always had a knack
for opening up your heart a crack.
The one who came from in a sack?
I know he’s your guy Jack!
Need to Get Some Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzsss
Kirsty says
Cute cute CUTE
ElizOF says

What a great package and what a great reason to smile! I would too!
Paula Kiger says
Aw, TOO CUTE! Jack definitely looks like a perpetuator of smiles!

Dumb Mom says
Wait? You got a dog? I thought you were doing the rodents for a while? It’s your big heart I think. It should be smaller. Like just big enough for your kids and me. And I guess Pat. A little corner for Pat would be okay too.
HisBell says
I’m not much of a doggy (or pet, for that matter) person… but he’s the cutest furball!
Lesley says
That’s a pretty cute little package! My daughter would somehow come down with some immediate case of a dreaded disease just to be able to stay home from school for a day or two with that little lovey. What a cutie!!
Diane says
Precious. Nothing can put a smile on the face faster than a little puppy. :)
Shell says
So cute!
Funkidivagirl says
THAT IS THE CUTEST PUPPY EVER!!!!!
I have a puppy and he always makes me smile. Even when he is being bad…which is often!
liz says
Our dog is Jack, too!
Heligirl says
I know exactly how you feel. I’ve had my puppy, Jack, for 11 years now and he’s my little lover man whose been with me through thick and thin. I used to sing “You are my sunshine” to him during my rough years (more on that in today’s post on Heligirl – a letter to Own Wilson). Thanks for the reminder of what our pets really mean to us, even after kids. :)
Jill says
Cute pooch! I’m really excited about my poem too! It’s my 1st attempt… and a story I’ve never told on my blog.Thanks for opportunity! :)
Kmama says
My friend has a dog that looks just like Jack, except her’s is named Ozzie.
But I’m partial to Jack…in fact, I named my oldest son Jack!
Jen says
He is adorable!
And this explains a lot.
Who gave you this puppy?
Is it just like having a newborn?
KLZ says
Puppies do sound funny on the phone.
Stacey says
Ahhh! So cute! And great poem. You even rhyme!
Booyah's Momma says
I’ve always been a cat person… but seeing little Jack almost makes me want to get a dog. He is adorable!
Jennifer says
I want one!!!! Darn David and his not letting us have an inside dog. :( But yay for you and your new puppy!
S Club Mama says
too cute, Kat!
Angelia Sims Hardy says
If that is a shih(t)-tzu puppy, you are in soooooo much trouble. They are heart stealers. So cute and funny in their personality.
I just adore mine and I was never a little dog fan.
This week, I dedicated my post to my mother-in-law who has been in ICU and now the recovery floor of the hospital since the end of September. What a trooper and fighter she is. Never give up…
Stephanie Snyder says
