Jack & friends

Meet Jack Kratzer, nine week old puppy who lives at the Doug & Donna Kratzer farm. He moved in about three weeks ago and seems to be enjoying his new home. My parents used to have another dog like him named Erbie. He died about three years ago, and Jack is a distant half-brother to Erbie.


Like most other puppies, Jack is playful and fun. He likes to bite, growl, and love you. He'll follow me most anywhere and is enjoying adventures around the farm.

New calf and momma. Jack has made friends with the calves in the barn and enjoys snuggling up with one of them. :) She even licks him lovingly.

Don't be decieved by this picture! Jack really isn't that good on a leash, I must have just caught him in a moment of good behavior. Usually you have to actually PULL him along with you. We haven't taken him for a long walk yet, but have been giving him mini-leash sessions. Someday he'll graduate to a 30 minute walk.
