Day 37: Several years ago, Matty’s friend Dave was visiting from Pennsylvania and I decided to be a sweet wife and go get them Dunkin’ Donuts for breakfast. As I was getting ready to leave, Jack was right there with me. Everyone else was still asleep, so Jack and I decided to make a morning walk of it and went to Dunkin’ Donuts by foot. When we got there, I hooked his leash around a pole where I could see him from inside, and walked in to get in line. Four people were already ahead of me, but when they saw Jack sitting vigilantly outside, craning around to look at me, they all let me go to the front of the line so he wouldn’t have to wait so long for me. #alldogsgotoheaven #dogsarepeopletoo #dogmom #mansbestfriend #mindthedog #lovethisdog #rescue #whippet #rescuedog #whorescuedwho
Day 36: Jack was a scavenger at heart. Aside from toys, he’d carry home trash, roadkill, pretty much anything he found on a walk. In this first video, he’s pretty proud of a piece of white napkin he found. In the second: roadkill. Once, I had let him out in the backyard and couldn’t find him. I called for him and called for him. Nothing. Said some of favorite words (treat, dinner, hungry...). Nothing. But both gates were shut and Jack hadn’t jumped a fence for a really long time. I walked all over the yard and finally found him—under the shed up to the extra toes on his back feet. I grabbed his ankles and hauled him out from under the shed. He had an entire dead squirrel in his mouth. “Jackpot, Mom! We didn’t even have to take a walk to find this—it was right here in our yard!” #alldogsgotoheaven #lovethisdog #whippet #mansbestfriend #mindthedog #dogmom #dogsarepeopletoo #rescue #rescuedog #whorescuedwho
