The Wild Boy
March 22, 2010 | Filed under: Stuff
Hi. My name is Jake. I’m new here. I’m told you like to hear the news from the trenches, so let me give you a full report.

The days in the Shalvis household are very busy. Today I spent about twenty million hours watching the old lady Ashes chew on a stick that I wanted.

She wasn’t in a sharing mood.
Staring at her is hard work. So to recover, I spent a lot of time doing this:

But my favorite thing to do is pee on the living room floor collect stuff that smells like my new family. The things they put on their feet are especially yummy, and smell delicious. Speaking of which, I have a lot more collecting and chewing and hiding to do, so I need to sign out.

Tune in again real soon for the adventures of me, The Wild Boy, and Satan Sadie the evil sweet cat. Sweet as in she is going to taste real good I can’t wait to kiss her face all over. If she ever let’s me get close enough.
Love, Jake

lol lol lol Ashes doesn’t look like she wants to share at all – did anyone notice the crazy/wild eyes in that picture?
Hahaha Jake.
Poor Jill. I would NOT be doing well with the pee on the living room floor. Unacceptable. I especially love the pictures of Jake outside in the snow

Yup! Ashes’s double-dog-dare-you eyes speak volumes.

Jill, he’s adorable! And LOL on you having a shoe thief. Hope he doesn’t do what mine does and drop them in the garden where they’re just out of sight but in the right place to get rained on…

Awww, what a cutie! I just want to give him a big ole hug. Love your new baby.
And LOVE Instant Temptation! Got my copy in the mail yesterday and already started reading it. Harley is reminding me a bit of Kara from Battlestar Galactica right now (since I just started watching the series). This one is gonna be sooooo good!

Ha. I’m sorry to hear about you shoes and your poor floor but, got to love Jake. Adorable.

OMGoodness, he is sooo cute! And you’ll need to teach him not to spill his thoughts, like calling Ashes an old lady. She’s likely to whack him with that stick.

Great pics! Jake is just precious.

OMGOsh! Jake is too cute, look at those puppy eyes! How did Ashes not give him the stick with those puppy eyes?

thanks for the sharing the picture and Jake’s adventures from his point of view. Ashes is such a sweet girl – I love the pictures of the pets. They’re all beautiful.

Are Jake and Ashes getting along? Hope Sadie’s being nice (or relatively nice) to Jake.
Posted on March 23rd, 2010 at 5:22 pmDonna M says:
Just like siblings, taunting each other! Is Ashes letting Jake know who is “top dog”!
Love the pictures, thanks for letting Jake give us an update.

Looking forward to many, many, many adventures with The Wild Boy. He’s such a doll!

Could he be any cuter?!!! Only wish I could smell his puppy breath.

Love the adorable pics, especially the last one, Jake is such a cute little boy!
Posted on March 26th, 2010 at 4:40 pmI haven’t been here all week, and I’ve missed it. A nasty flu bug got me, but thankfully it let me go!
Jill, did you get my email with my snail mail and book choices for the 2 drawings I won?
