Before we got Jack I really wanted to pick out the name, the rest of the dogs I didn't name and I really really wanted to name him...well I picked out a few names and my family didn't like any of them, my mom had her heart set on Blackjack, I was talking to my Aunt online and she didn't like the names I picked out either but suggested Jumpin Jack Splash, I had a week to think about names before he came home and the moment I saw him again I knew his name would be Jack...long story short, I guess we did sorta name him before he came home. I already have a name picked out for my next male dog...
