Happy 16th Birthday, Jack!

Our little old man turns 16 today! I can't say enough about how much I love this guy. So many happy memories of watching him play with his favorite toys, taking him to the park, playing hide and seek (yes, really!) in the backyard, me and him sleeping 6am-6pm solid every day when we lived in Wyandotte (that's not a typo and nobody could wake either of us up!) and always waking up with this little beagle taking up all the space on the bed and me almost on the floor, him playing with his cousins Buddy and Amber and always copying whatever they did (especially Buddy, miss you guy), him and his brother Murphy (our cat) going through their love/hate relationship, taking him to A&W and Sonic for a nice treat on every birthday, and taking tons of photos of this handsome guy over the years! I could go on and on. There will never be another like Jackson Montgomery Mendez. Happy "sweet" 16! :)

Saying Goodbye to Our Beagle, Jack
