Write a poem about a time someone made you smile.
You sounded funny on the phone
Something fishy with your tone
Eager to meet us back at home
With a “package”…I should have known.
You opened the door up just a crack
You smiled at us, we smiled back
Not sure what to make of your strange pack
Until it opened and out popped Jack.

What a darling puppy and wonderful addition to your family. :)
Jack would surely make me smile..he’s cute!
Like you had a choice after the little one’s smile…look at her! Only thing that could be cuter than that puppy. :)
Awwww! What a cute little puppy! I want one! :)
That is the cutest little dog. EVER. I almost makes me want a little one. He kinda reminds me of Gismo from the movie Gremlins. Or an Ewok.
That’s a really cute puppy.
Oh, my goodness! Jack’s adorable! Is he a shih-tsu (sp?). And Natalie’s right, he does look like a baby Ewok :)
He’s adorable!
He’s the guy who’s hanging out in back.
The guy who’s always had a knack
for opening up your heart a crack.
The one who came from in a sack?
I know he’s your guy Jack!
Need to Get Some Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzsss
Cute cute CUTE
Jack is adorable and the poem is fitting… a real gem of a gift! :-)

What a great package and what a great reason to smile! I would too!
Aw, TOO CUTE! Jack definitely looks like a perpetuator of smiles!
I like your poem! Jack makes me smile too!
What a sweet little face! Who could *not* smile upon seeing that?!?! Clever poem, too, btw!

Wait? You got a dog? I thought you were doing the rodents for a while? It’s your big heart I think. It should be smaller. Like just big enough for your kids and me. And I guess Pat. A little corner for Pat would be okay too.
I’m not much of a doggy (or pet, for that matter) person… but he’s the cutest furball!
That’s a pretty cute little package! My daughter would somehow come down with some immediate case of a dreaded disease just to be able to stay home from school for a day or two with that little lovey. What a cutie!!
Precious. Nothing can put a smile on the face faster than a little puppy. :)
So cute!
THAT IS THE CUTEST PUPPY EVER!!!!!
I have a puppy and he always makes me smile. Even when he is being bad…which is often!
Our dog is Jack, too!
I know exactly how you feel. I’ve had my puppy, Jack, for 11 years now and he’s my little lover man whose been with me through thick and thin. I used to sing “You are my sunshine” to him during my rough years (more on that in today’s post on Heligirl – a letter to Own Wilson). Thanks for the reminder of what our pets really mean to us, even after kids. :)
Cute pooch! I’m really excited about my poem too! It’s my 1st attempt… and a story I’ve never told on my blog.Thanks for opportunity! :)
My friend has a dog that looks just like Jack, except her’s is named Ozzie.
But I’m partial to Jack…in fact, I named my oldest son Jack!
He is adorable!
And this explains a lot.
Who gave you this puppy?
Is it just like having a newborn?
Puppies do sound funny on the phone.
Ahhh! So cute! And great poem. You even rhyme!
I’ve always been a cat person… but seeing little Jack almost makes me want to get a dog. He is adorable!
I want one!!!! Darn David and his not letting us have an inside dog. :( But yay for you and your new puppy!
too cute, Kat!
If that is a shih(t)-tzu puppy, you are in soooooo much trouble. They are heart stealers. So cute and funny in their personality.
I just adore mine and I was never a little dog fan.
This week, I dedicated my post to my mother-in-law who has been in ICU and now the recovery floor of the hospital since the end of September. What a trooper and fighter she is. Never give up…
Your prompts were GREAT this week! LOVED ‘em! :D And love your photos today – too flippin’ cute!
what kind of dog is this…looks alot like the Havanese we are getting in 2 weeks!
awwwww he is too cute!
Linking up with you on Writers Workshop for the first time!

Oh man, Pat finally broke down?!?!?!?
Awwww Jack is so cute! :)
we just had to rehome our shitzu ( I can never flippin spell that and I do not care) I miss Bella very much she was a sweet girl. Very loving, cuddly, playful. But be careful about the potty business…she was a pee-er too ;)
Okay, that makes me want to get another puppy!

AH, what a cute doggie…what kind? We are in the hunt…deciding if we should add to the chaos or not.
Cute dog and even cuter daughter! Love your poem too. Thanks for letting me in on the fun. I enjoyed it.
Aw, how cute!!!! My son would probably be scared of him. He prefers big dogs!
Now that is one darn tootin’ cute pup!!! Loved reading your sweet ode to him too! :>
Wow! I want to play this sometime!! Great idea for a post. I’d do the last one for sure.
I love the poem … and I love Jack!!!
I’m wildly late in linking up but what the hey … I had fun writing my post!
Jack is adorable.
Aww, now I am smiling too!
Could he have picked a cuter puppy? Just adorable!
A fabulously light-hearted poem with a beautiful surprise! Enjoy!
I haven’t been blogging for so long, that I didn’t even know you had a new blog location! Wow! Cute poem!!!
