More about Jake

So we have had Jake for a month now and have learned a lot about him!
1. He loves his walks! And the spoiled dog gets at least 4 every day.
2. He loves plastic, which is bad news for us. Anything plastic he will chew up, water bottles are his favorite. Good news for us because our house has never been kept so clean for such a long stretch of time! And I'd rather he like plastic than chew up fabric any day.
3. He loves swimming in the water! Doesn't love the sprinklers so much, but he is a good swimmer.
4. He loves to run and jump! Kind of wish he did those dog obstacle courses, he would be good at it except for one thing, see #5.
5. He gets worn out super easy! Like in a coma after a hike or being at the park or anything. He loves his sleep. We think he is super happy when we are gone during the day for work, because the weekends are really hard on him lol.
6. He loves sleeping in our bed. Do not know what we were thinking that one night I just wanted him to cuddle us for a minute. Has slept at our feet every night since.
7. He loves riding in the car! Which is a good thing because we do that a lot and it's fun to take him with.

8. He loves other dogs. This (along with barking occasionally) he has done ever since our weekend in Delta. He has a girlfriend, a pug named Phene. A best friend, Bogart, the little white terroir with a large underbite. And a long list of others, which he is always finding more of.
9. He has learned to love his little green toothbrush bones and how to play with toys. The poor guy must have never had anyone play with him before!
10. He is socially awkward! Which is so like us!
We have only wanted to take him back that first night, but once we got through it, we haven't regretted him at all! We feel so luck to have such a perfect dog for us!
