Our beloved adopted 11-year-old Shih Tzu, Romeo, passed away and our hearts were broken. So, two months later, we decided to fill those hearts with love again and adopted Alaska Jack, a Cocker Spaniel, from Friends of Pets in Anchorage. He brings us joy and laughter from the time he leaps on the bed to wake us up every morning until he barks at us to go to bed at night. Our retirement years just wouldn't be the same without an adopted doggie companion to share them with. This is a picture of Alaska Jack watching dinner being prepared. He just knows there is something special there for him too.
