Jack had the smile wiped off his face, so to speak, this afternoon when Mike gave him a bath! In fact both he and Jesse have had a good wash. Jesse gets very dirty playing in the fields and poor little Jack looked like a mudlark as our garden is like a swamp. As we live towards the bottom of a hill, all the water seems to collect here.
Jack is the only dog we have had whose eyes appear blue in the flash of a camera. Even Jesse's amber eyes usually appear green in photos. Jack has unusual eyes, they are a sort of blue/grey and very human looking, not like dogs eyes at all. Still, he is a baby and that could change. He is nine weeks old today. Strangely, he looks much bigger and older in the pictures than he is. He is already developing adult looks though and we think he will be a very handsome dog.
Mike is somewhat wet as you can see and this was before he bathed Jesse. You should have seen him afterwards.
Still, Jack soon realized it was all worth it in the end. He had a good game afterwards and a good brushing and is now sound asleep.
Whilst I was drying him I got to thinking of all the things to do with Jack. Jack Spratt, Jack O Lantern, Jack and Jill, Jack of all trades, Jack be nimble, Jack and the Beanstalk, Jack in the box.
If you can think of any more Jacks, please leave under comments.
Hope you are all having a good Sunday.

Can't think of any just yet! My collies used to hate the bath. He's certainly a lovely looking little chap! Jeannette.
Hi Jeannette, beautiful pics again !! He is a real sweetie ;-) I can think of "on your Jack Jones" (which he will never be!!), Black Jack (a card game, I believe) and even Jack the Hat !!
Take care, Love Debbie xx

I had a little pony whose name was Jack he was so nimble he jumped through a crack. I remember that from childhood LOL.
I love those baby blues. Helen
Our collie used to growl everytime you mentioned the word bath :) I wonder if dogs eyes eventually change colour as they get older?
Little Jack Horner, sat in a corner, all fluffy and dry from his bath....
What a little cutie !!! I'm so happy for you and Mike , that he's come to live at your house. Linda in sunny but very cold Washington state.
Jack the Lad! Though his middle name could be Old Blue Eyes....so long as he doesn't start singing I Did it My Way.......

Hi Jeannette, he certainly does look as though he`ll be a handsome dog, his paws look quite big for a start. How about Jack of Diamonds, or clubs, hearts or spades? :o)

That Jack is sooo cute and loveable ! Bath time is not a very pleasant affair here either. I always plan on taking a shower after I get done with them. I can't think of anymore Jack sayings right off, but will let you know if I do. 'On Ya' - ma
Oh your Jack is so cute. He does look like he will be a good size the way his paws are. I love white & black dogs....Sandi
OMG! What a face! Jack's a cutie!

Hello friend he is so cute and looks so handsome after his bath all fluffy and cute i bet you are having a good time with him have a good week GOd bless kelley
Jack is soo cute he's a wee star. Hope he enjoyed his bath!!
Enjoyed the photos of Jack. You will have to include Jesse also. I can imagine that Jesse may be bored with Jack having unlimited energy and playfullness and using him as a play target. mark
What a super little pup - bet he went beserk after his bath, they usually do! Jack Frost? (I expect others have already mentioned that one - too many comments to read, so I haven't been through them all!).
David.
oh my, what a cutie pie he is....roberta

LOL! Bet Mike is glad bath day is over! Jack is adorable, love his eyes. I had to think about "Jack sayings" and came up with a few more. Jack Benny, Jack Palancing, and Jack in the Box. ~Deborah
