Jax & Jilly

Jilly (almost 3) & Jax (almost 4)

So Steve and I saw the movie Marley and Me over the weekend and thus I felt obligated to give our Best Boy Jax and Pretty Girl Jilly some face time on the blog. For all dog lovers - a very good movie - but bring some tissues. The movie is very true to life and shows that having a pet is not all fun and roses - but the rewards far outweigh the daily grind. Both Jax & Jilly show us unconditional love each and everyday - even if they've just been yelled at or haven't been played with in what seems like forever. They follow us everywhere and would defend us if we were in harm's way. It's hard to believe that we've had them for almost 4 & 3 years respectively. Jax is still our happy-go-lucky-throw-the-ball-for-me-please-please-please boy. He LOVES to be outside. Jilly continues to be a tad more calculated and loves to eat - anything and cuddle up for some loving. They see me off every morning and greet me every night that I come home - and on the rare occasion that they are not waiting at the door - I miss them. What gets me most about them getting older is that Saela and Baby #2 will have never known life without them - and that thought gets me teary almost every time.
