Meet Jack
It all started when Cat sent me a text that included an adorable picture of a one-eyed Chihuahua she had learned was up for adoption at the Ojai animal shelter. “Get it,” I responded like I usually do when Cat sends me these type of texts. We laugh, but soon after we resume our busy lives and although the idea of adopting another shelter dog sounds appealing, our energy and focus quickly turn back toward caring for the critters we already have now — two teenagers and Spike — and the thought of adopting another pet fades into the background.
