Jack - or Jacques (if you're from the French Riviera)

This is my dog, Jack. I found him on Craigslist.com in Houston, TX - and knew right away that he and I would get along. He's my best friend.

Sometimes, I think I want to write a story about him - Jacques the Adventurer - always keen, a daring explorer.

If I were to write a picture book - I'd draw him something like this:

He's alway up for an adventure, and Jack likes to ride-shot gun. In fact, once when he travelled from Southeast Texas to Birmingham, Alabama (and back!) - he earned the nickname "Shotgun Jackie".

Then, there was the time that he rode all the way from Houston to Miami Beach on a feather bed. Jacques the Explorer was especially comfortable on that trek.
