Programs and Pups

The week after Thanksgiving, Jackson's class had their kindergarten Christmas program.

 Jackson started off doing great, but after the first couple of songs, he and the little boy he was standing next to decided that they would be better off playing through the performance.  To put it lightly, we weren't impressed with his behavior and Jackson had to give up his "phone" for the majority of the week.   I added a yellow arrow to the picture below to help find him.

 If you haven't heard, we don't have Rex anymore.  He was constantly trying to bite Jackson (and he was successful a good bit), so something had to change.  Zach found another home for him about 2 months ago.  To fill the void, we decided to adopt another basset hound.

Meet Bella.

She hasn't disappointed yet . . . she's lazy, housebroken, and tolerant of the kids.  She even got excited over a ball one day, so Jackson may even have a dog that fetches!
