A year ago last week I travelled to Greensboro, NC and picked up the new addition to our little family unit. I brought home Jane.

In that year Jane has grown from a 5-lb puppy to a 50-lb – well – puppy, who still believes she only weighs 5 pounds.

She has a hilarious underbite, snuggles like a human, and talks like a wookie. She has more energy than any dog I've ever known, and has become my second child. She's pretty fab, flappy lips and all.
