Meet Jake

Thanks to Hannah I finally have a couple of photos of Jake to share.

He’s just a little guy.  He has a very happy, waggy tail, but you can’t see it in this photo.

The folks at the adoption center figured him to be a rat terrier mix.  His build is so reminiscent of our greyhounds that we wonder if maybe there’s a bit of Italian greyhound in there too.  But who knows.  His make-up and past are a mystery.

He’s ready for his close-up, Mr. DeMille.

He’s really a sweet little guy, happy and bouncy.  He doesn’t bark a lot, but he does communicate through little chortles and yips and whimpers.  He’s still experiencing intermittent bouts of kitchenaphobia, but I’m suspecting it comes from trying to take the corner in the kitchen too fast and wiping out.  If you pick him up and set him on the other side of the corner, he trots off happily.  Or if Hannah is in there and he thinks he’s about to get left out of something, THEN he manages that corner just fine.  He’s got some quirks. 

Which is probably why he fits in here just fine.
