Jack, A Literal Watch Dog

We've had a couple packages delivered to the Mansion this week. One was a bag with clothing, which came by FedEx, and was delivered while I was in the shower. I don't think the delivery people even bother to knock anymore. Or perhaps they try ringing our doorbell, which of course does not work. All it needs it a battery, but Farmer H has let it go for years. So I don't see a doorbell in my future. Not that I want one.

The FedEx drivers take a picture for proof of delivery. That doesn't mean they can't just reach down and take a package back for themselves. I've seen that on the news! But I doubt this driver would have wanted women's clothing. Here's the picture FedEx sent:


Little Jack looks so sad! No pack with which to rush the delivery person while barking and tail-wagging. Pupsie and Copper Jack are missed.

Farmer H had some sheets of metallic backsplash material delivered on Thursday. They came in a box. FedEx was again the delivery service.


There's little Jack again. He's quite the WATCH dog. Watching strangers come and go from the Mansion porch.

Poor Little Jack! You need to give him some extra attention. More pats and ear scratches.

River,
I'd bring him in to spend the days with me, but Farmer H would find out, and there'd be trouble! I sure don't want him to give Jack away!

He does look sad. I doubt my husband would even try to tell me my little dogs had to stay outside. Jack is a cute little fella.

Kathy,
I love Jack so much! And to think I didn't want a pup from that litter because they were funny-looking!
