Well that was short lived : (

So we HAD a new dog and then he started biting. First it was Aubrey, he got her nose. But we figured it was a one time incident Then Connor started reporting that Jack "tried" to bite him, but neither Sean or I saw it so we thought that Connor might just be a little worried. In the mean time Aubrey was wonderful and made friends again with Jack and wasn't afraid of him at all. Then Jack was outside playing with the kids and some of their friends in the neighborhood (I was watching from inside). I noticed that he was getting a little too excited so I brought him in to calm down (the dog). About 10 minutes later the door bell rang. It was our neighbor with her son. Jack bit his ankle, punctured the skin and left a bruise! I felt SO bad. It was at that point that I decided Jack had to go back and couldn't stay. We gave the owners we bought him from the opportunity to take him first and they did. So we are back to being dogless. We aren't sure where to go from here. Funny enough Aubrey was the most upset about Jack leaving and was the first to ask when we get another dog. We are going to take a break for now. Maybe we'll try again next year.

Very Inspiring!

This is what being a parent is all about!!
Watch the video after you read this. It is totally amazing.
A son asked his father, 'Dad, will you take part in a
marathon with me?'
The father who, despite having a heart condition, says
'Yes'. They went on to complete the marathon
together.Father and son went on to join other marathons,
the father always saying 'Yes' to his son's
request of going through the race together.One day, the son
asked his father, 'Dad, let's join the Ironman
together.' To which, his father said 'Yes'
too.For those who didn't know, Ironman is the toughest
triathlon ever. The race encompasses three endurance events
of a 2.4 mile (3.86 kilometer) ocean swim, followed by a 112
mile (180.2 kilometer) bike ride, and ending with a 26.2
mile (42.195 kilometer) marathon along the coast of the Big
Island. Father and son went on to complete the race
together.

Meet The Newest Parker!!!

This is Jack! He is an 8 month old Wire Haired Jack Russell Terrier. We bought him from a family in Orem who was really sad that they had to let him go, which means he was well taken care of and Loved so much! He has a kind and happy temperment (even though it looks like he might be angry in the first picture). He LOVES playing with the kids and doesn't even playfully nip. He is very smart and very intuitive. He already knows lots of tricks...sit, shake, lie down, dance, speak, come, stay, drop, and roll over! Connor has plans to teach him more. These pictures were the ones posted by the original owner so as we get to know him and take some pictures of our own we will post more. Wish us luck!
