Holly and I went to a local pet shop to get a Valentine’s Day portrait of our two dogs and damned if they didn’t have five dogs from a local shelter there that they were trying to adopt out. Once Holly gave me “the look” I knew we were going home with dog #3. They said he is a seven year-old Jack Russell Terrier mix named Jack (original, eh?) but Holly renamed him Jackson (let the Jackson Pollock, Jackson 5, Action Jackson etc. jokes fly now). We call him Jacksie or Jax for short. Below is the portrait we had taken; it was initially going to be just Saratoga (on the left) and Milo (on the right) but since we decided to take Jackson (middle) home with us we decided to have all five of us in the picture.
