Our new airedale "pup" ... He's a year old, hence, pretty much full grown. However, he evidently was ignored by his original owners, so he's very much lacking in such social skills as listening, obeying, acting as if he really cares what you say, not jumping and/or humping every moving object he encounters, etc. In short he's been a bit of a challenge. However, he's making progress (OK, *we* are making progress), and he's obviously the class clown -- i.e., too damn cute to give up on. We hope someday to take down the child gates, take the vacuum cleaner off the sofa, and be able to leave glasses, tv remotes, and other objects around without fear of theft and/or death by chewing.

His name is Jack. (Think of all the potential photo titles - Jack Be Nimble,...).
