Cavapoo Puppy Ruby & White Boy | 15 - 17 Pounds Grown

Every once in a while, a puppy comes along who makes me look suspiciously good at my job.

Meet Pumpkin Jack.

This scrumptious Cavapoo boy is one of those wonderfully agreeable little souls who seems to wake up each morning prepared to cooperate with whatever peculiar ideas the humans may have planned for the day.

And on Puppy Picture Day, I tested that theory.

You see, somewhere along the way, someone decided that Pumpkin Jack should wear a tiny crocheted monkey hat and pose for a photograph saying “Trick or Treat!”

This is not, strictly speaking, a reasonable request to make of a puppy.

I approached the situation cautiously.

Pumpkin Jack did not.

On went the little monkey hat. Down fell those beautiful, long spanielly ears on either side of his face. Pumpkin Jack looked around, apparently concluded that the grown-ups had finally lost their minds, and then...

posed.

Cheerfully.

No wrestling match. No monkey-hat massacre. No frantic photographer crawling beneath the furniture trying to retrieve either puppy or prop.

Just Pumpkin Jack, sitting there being the bestest boy ever.

And that really is the essence of this darling puppy.

Pumpkin Jack has a naturally sweet, willing little spirit that makes being with him an absolute pleasure. He's happy and playful, because goodness knows a little boy cannot be expected to behave like a church deacon ALL the time, but there's an underlying gentleness about him—a lovely willingness to trust his people and go along with the program.

He is affectionate without being demanding, playful without requiring the National Guard, and curious about his world without feeling personally responsible for dismantling it.

In other words, the hoodlums have not recruited him.

Yet.

Pumpkin Jack would much rather stay on the respectable side of puppy society, thank you very much.

And then there are those ears.

Those glorious, silky, spanielly ears framing a face so sweet that resistance seems rather pointless. Add his beautiful Cavapoo coat, soulful expression, and wonderfully agreeable temperament, and Pumpkin Jack has all the makings of one of those dogs a family talks about years later:

“He was just the BEST dog.”

I think so too.

So, Trick or Treat?

With Pumpkin Jack, I’m fairly certain you get the treat. 🎃

Although I cannot guarantee that the monkey hat will survive another photo shoot.
