Ode to Jafet



This furry, friendly face is our family's dog, Jafet (or in English; Japeth). Make no mistake, this is no poodle, but a first class cross-breed between a small schnauzer and a bichon frisée. (Result of a happy mishap between my aunt's dog Noah and their neighbor's dog...) He is exuberantly pleased whenever I come home, to the extent that he jumps, leaps, licks, barks, runs laps in the living room, runs laps around himself, around me, and around anyone else happening to be present. If everyone could get such a greeting at least once a day, I think the world would be a better place.

And if you buy this dog, you will have much more fun cleaning the floor. You just kick him around a little bit.

See what a great dog this is?! You get a two-in-one deal! There's no need to kick, though, just throw a tennis ball around and it'll be enough to have him running and sliding all over the place.

Hey Desi!
He's unilingual, I'm afraid, though he does understand the dialect of dog candy treats remarkably well - I think that it might actually be his first language, and Norwegian a second one... If you feel like separating them, of course. Usually a combination of the two is the most efficient, thus my conclusion of unilinguality. He's three years old, so he's still a youth - 21 dog years.
