   Hey everyone! My name is Jordan and I am a sweet and lovable dog. I don't remember how I came to the pound, but I overheard my sister saying that they found me outside all by myself. The day that I saw my family at the pound was the happiest day of my life! When they opened the door, I ran straight to my soon-to-be brother, and jumped on his lap. I was a little offended because my sister thought I was a girl when she first saw me, and I can't understand how she came to that conclusion. Regardless of that, I could not wait to go home with my new family. I think I was given a name at the pound, but my brother named me after the greatest Basketball player, ever. Now, eight years later I am the happiest that I can be, my family loves me so much and I them in return. My brother takes me on walks, my sister kisses me and sings with me, and my mother lets me sleep on any of the beds in the house. Yes, I shed, but my mom has that under control.

    I love to lie on the bed and look out the window to see what is going on in the world. I don't get along with other animals very much, they think I play too rough-I just have so much energy, I but I love humans unconditionally. One time, I got sprayed by a skunk and I was depressed for days, I even smelled for three months after that. But, my siblings bought me a toy skunk to make me feel better, and I felt much better after I ripped him apart. I was recently diagnosed with arthritis in my hips, so getting up has gotten a bit harder. But that doesn't stop me, I still have just as much energy and I'm just as happy to go on my walks. I love to stay up with my sister while she's studying, even though sometimes I end up going to sleep way before she does. One time, my sister was having knee surgery and I was so worried about her that I came to her bed in the morning and lay on her knee hoping that my warmth would prevent her from going.

    I tend to get impatient at times when asking for food, and if I don't receive my treat after sitting in my special pretty pose, I run over to the closet where the treats are, and knock on the door with my paw. My brother is definitely my best friend, I highly respect him and when I really need to go to the bathroom in the morning, I sit by his bed, taking deep breaths, making pfft sounds until he finally wakes up. I love my family so much; I would be lost without them. Their love for me is unconditional, they tell me that every single day.
