Meet the newest member of our family

No the title of this post is not an announcement --not the one you'd expect. The newest member of our family is...
JIMMER

For those of you who haven't heard or met him yet, we recently got a dog. He is a mix of a Rat Terrier and Yorkshire Terrier. He definitely looks more like a Rat Terrier though. Jimmer is very fun and active. He loves to play - especially if you're down on the ground. He also loves to sit on your lap if you're relaxing. We have to be very careful with our socks because he will chew them like crazy. We've taught him to sit, shake, up, down - to get off things, fetch, and go to his crate when told. He's a very smart dog and a quick learner. We really like him and he definitely keeps us active.

Jimmer when we first got him:


Jimmer likes to crawl under the couch and take things with him. We find all sorts of things under our couch now.


We went to a family reunion for Devin's family and his cousin had these huge Great Dane's. Jimmer loved it! He wasn't afraid of these huge monsters at all.


Jimmer loves to be kept warm. If we have a blanket on us - then he's under the blanket too. If it's really cold he'll find any place he can that's warm...even under a shirt. We went camping and it POURED! Jimmer does not like water and he definitely didn't like camping in it.

We sometimes find Jimmer laying in the weirdest positions. This is just one of the many weird positions that he likes. We've even seen him sleep on his back with his legs straight up in the air.




I had some extra fabric and this was the result. Don't worry Devin hated having his male dog wearing a skirt and Jimmer didn't like it either. If you look closely you can see that Jimmer has BYU tags.



We went boating with Devin's sister and some friends. Jimmer loved being on the boat, but didn't like it when he walked off the end into the water. It was really funny to see him just walk right off the end as if he thought the water was solid for him to walk on. Boy was he sure surprised.

We love you all very much and hope everything is going great for all of you!
