Saint Jack

I had the radio on the other day and they where talking about making Pope John Paul a saint and the process and it got me thinking we need to add our Jack to that list.  He is 13.5 years old.  We are this third home after the track the first one he was beaten in, the second one though they loved him could not afford to really feed him.  Then he came to us, Jessie allowed him to share the couch with her so we knew he was a keeper.  Yes, he has his issues, but they are manageable.  Jack has the patients of a saint with Maddie.  He allows her to try and put her shoes on his feet.  When he is sleeping soundly on the dog beds she likes to bring him a pillow or cover him with her blanket or give him a baby doll to snuggle with.  He also tries to stay as still as possible when she attempts to sit with him.  He responds as quickly as he can when she yells "JACK JAACK".   Of course most of the time she yells for him it is to toss him some food.  Im not sure we could add another dog into this circus until Maddie is older, and understands that not all dogs are as patient as Jack is.
