Happy Birthday, Jackson!

As we prepared for our nation's birthday, we also celebrated another special birthday in our house...Jackson's first.



Jackson has turned out to be a great dog, even if he has his Marley & Me moments, but he completely redeems any wrongdoing by snuggling. Every morning, he crawls into bed, and lays on his back, just smiling and getting his pets in for the day.




Jackson is a true lab; he loves to fetch and swim. We are truly lucky to live so close to the beach and are able to take him there almost every weekend. One of this favorite things to do is fetch found objects, which is usually the biggest stick he can find.




We like to call Jackson our dump truck because he will literally eat anything. He has yet to find some floor food that he won't devour.




So in memory of his first birthday, I have compiled a list of all the nonfood items Jackson has consumed in the past year. And they are:

Bleach
Charcoal
Earplugs
Two remotes
Three bras
A battery
Entire USB jump drive
No less than 3 pairs of shoes
A rug
Countless Japanese stink bugs
One book
His pedigree
An aluminum can
Lucy's collar and rabies tag
An entire pack of socks
Two boxer briefs
Four razor blades
A Christmas ornament
A permanent marker
Nerf dart
Mascara
Styrofoam
All styrofoam white poop
Duck decoy
Beer
Vinegar
Two throw pillows
Eyeglass lens
Half a pack of cigarettes
A few days of birth control
Expo markers
Sidewalk chalk
Bounce sheets


Happy first birthday, buddy, hopefully we'll have many more to share together!
