Karen and Jack
Jack was Karen's dog from the start, and
would always be by her side.  Right up to the
day she passed away from cancer herself
about 2 years ago.     
Jack's first
Christmas.
Jack doesn't mind mud season, but he is not
crazy about the following bath time
Jack Is a Maltese.  They are known to be very loyal
and a one person dog.  I know this to be true.  When
Karen (my wife) and I would come home, Jack would
immediately run to Karen.  He would always be by her
side.  Right up to the day she passed away from
cancer herself about 2 years ago.   

Since then, he has become my most loyal friend.  Here
in Colorado, we like to hike no matter the season and
despite his illness, he seemed to have plenty of
energy to get out there.  

Sadly, Jack passed away recently.  Thank you to those
who donated toward his treatment and medical bills.
