About Jesse
Jesse is a 27 pound Bichon and was born on May
10, 2002,
in Ontario, Canada, and adopted 9 weeks later
by his new
momma and poppa, Steve and Dianne. His momma Dianne
chose him over his
brother because when she picked him up,
he nibbled on her neck. If his new parents had the extra
money, they would have brought his brother home too.
Jesse
was somewhat afraid at first about leaving his brother,
but it didn't
take him long to love his new home.
Jesse likes

-playing catch. launch ball, soccer, foot ball - "doggie in
the middle" ( momma and poppa throws the ball back and
forth to each other and he tries to catch it)
