This evening I ran out to take some photos of the sunset, and ended up attempting to take some pictures of my puppy, Jess. One of my brothers noticed that I was having a little trouble getting her to be still, (it's hard when her attention span lasts all of .32 of a second! jk #butalsonot!) So he started waving a stick above my head and gosh,that dog paid strict attention! But instead of epic dog pictures, like this one, or this one, I got classic Jess, and it turned into a hilarious shoot. (part of the hilarity was probably from the fact that I have had way too much coffee today, though. :)

Jess is a complete sweetie, though, despite all her faults. (The biggest of which is her car chasing, and barking frantically up and down the fence every.single.time a car drives by.) She is great with kids, and loves to just sit and be with me. She also came into my life two weeks before the hardest weekend of my life. (moving to a place I did not want to live, and putting my horse down.) and that makes her even more special. Plus, we're perfect for each other. We make quite the klutzy, ditzy pair. (seriously, we both fall up and down the stairs regularly, trip over things, run into walls, fences, people... etc. ;) But I love my ridiculous, silly girl. :)

she does close her mouth occasionally. lol

This is Jessa, my adorable chocolate lab. She's almsot seven weeks old, and is a lab/border collie. She's a future therapy dog, and also happens to be one of the cutest things on the planet. She sleeps so much, but honestly, it's okay, 'cause she's just a baby. 

Jess is super playful, when awake, though, and has razor sharp teeth. I've only had her for a little less than two weeks, but we're already working on not biting every single thing in sight. :) Sunny,.our seven-year-old yellow lab, tolerates her, and I have high hopes for their relationship, once Jess has grown up a bit and settled down. Sunny isn't entirely sure what to think of her. Sometimes Jess growls at Sunny, and it's the cutest thing you ever saw. 

I cannot wait to begin training her. Training a dog to sit, stay, lie down, come, heel, etc, is one of the most rewarding things. Having a dog's loyalty ranks higher though. I'm excited about my little girl. :)
