New Puppy

BY Kevin Lee Jacobs | 238 Comments

Say “hello” to Avery Ophelia Elizabeth! She’s part-this and part-that, and 100% cute.

Avery spent the first 6 months of her life in foster care (she was originally rescued from a kill shelter). Yesterday, at exactly 3PM, she found her forever home right here at Clover Hill.

I had thought that Avery would require a lengthy adjustment period. But I was wrong. In fact, she won’t let me out of her sight! And should I tell you that she loves to cuddle?

Nothing will ever replace Lily the Beagle. But I’m happy to see prancing paws around this house again!

    Congratulation! Avery is adorable! Lily the beagel will always hold your heart. The most wonderful thing is your soul is capable of loving Avery just as much as you love Lily. We love our children equally as different from one another as they may be. I’m so happy for your little family. xo

    I’m so happy that you have found a new friend and cuddle buddy. I know how you feel about Lily, but Avery will soon have a special place in your heart, too.

    Often the rescues are “the best!” I speak from experience. They are soooo grateful. Congrats on the new family, Kevin & the Silver Fox.

    She is cute. Of course you cannot replace Lilly but you can have another canine friend. She is a lucky pup to be adopted by you. I hope she cheers you up.

    Marcia Zerance says

    She is perfect in every way. So very pretty, and who doesn’t love a dog that follows you around the house all day long, and loves to cuddle too! I understand you getting a dog so soon after losing Lily. Once you’ve had a dog, a house can seem so empty without one. Now, I need to change the page before my dogs see yours get to lay down on the couch! lol.

    I’m so glad that you found each other. Those puppy paws do fill empty spaces in our homes and our hearts. We’ll be looking forward to pictures and stories of new adventures with Avery. Bless you and Will for bringing her into your family. I know you’ll be richly repaid with bountiful love.

    Waking up to a new pup in the house is like having Christmas morning every day, over and over. Never gets old. You are a man who simply should always have a dog.

    She is beautiful Kevin..congratulations! I am especially thrilled because she is a rescue..my motto..adopt one until there are none! I am sure she will bring you a lot of love and happiness to your life!

    Tammy says

    Welcome home, Avery! Whenever you want something, just open those beautiful brown eyes a little wider and stare at dads with love in your heart. Your dads will melt and give you anything. Yes, it’s true. You will wrap them around your little dewclaw.

    Congratulations to you and Mr. Fox; I saw the new puppy post and had to see her picture immediately. She is spectacularly beautiful, and it is immediately apparent that she has found her forever home.
    P.S. I just took out your potato bread from the oven. You really teach the novice how to make delicious food! Thank you and I am happy that canine joy and happiness have found a place with you both again.

    Kevin you are a responsible dog owner in getting a rescue dog. These days it is the kindest and most acceptable way to get a pup. Good for you and you have a great pup who loves you both to bits because rescue dogs are so grateful for a forever home.

    Shirley Parran says

    I just brought home 2 foster mutts 2 days ago. They are seniors and are loving the fact that they are in a home with all the amenities they could have.
    Congrats on your puppy. I’m sure Lilly is very happy that you have a new baby to give your love to.

    Oh, I’m so happy for you and especially your new puppy, Avery Ophelia Elizabeth. She’s absolutely beautiful and will bring great comfort to your whole household.

    Lucky dog- she is beautiful! Lots of fun in all of your futures. The only story of “who rescued who” comes to mind. Lily is happy for you both as you have rescued another who needed a home.

    Peggy says

    What happy news! The added joy of providing a loving home to one whose life had such a rough start never leaves, as you well know. We have had our rescue (dumped and starving at 6 months in Las Vegas) for 12 years. As she cuddles between us at night I often think of how lucky we all are.

    Priscilla Shoulders says

    Oh she’s precious! Thank you so much for adopting a rescue dog. They make the best pets. From one who volunteers at our local animal shelter, it makes my heart happy to see her in a loving home. She did hit the jackpot with you.

  107. 107

    Chrissie says

    Lilly will forever be in your heart and memories. And…so will Avery. So happy you chose a rescue. Avery looks like a great fur baby and so cute!! I know the two of you will have so much fun!

    Avery is precious! Rescue babies are the best in my opinion. We have 3, and I truly wouldn’t know what to do without them. We rescued one at 6 weeks from the shelter, she’s now 10 and a half years old. She is my best friend <3 Hope you and the Silver Fox are doing well and enjoying Miss Avery!

    SHE!!!!Young Avery is adorable! you have so much love to give! am so happy for all of you ;o) Lily will never be forgotten, but Avery has now her forever home, such a wonderful wonderful beginning for the three of you! We rescued Brodie, our Australian, Border Collie dog, he is wonderful
    Good Luck with Avery!

    Am so glad she has you and the Silver Fox!

    Maraya says

    How heartwarming for all three of you! Right now, she’s a cuddle bunny, but soon she will be a film star and a discerning taster. I hope you rarely need to call her by her beautiful full name, as that would probably mean she’s been naughty. Best to you and Will and Avery!

    Toni says

    Dear Avery,
    I assume you already know how you have been blessed! I believe you have awesome “keepers”! Those little treats you have been receiving will keep coming throughout your life and I am sure you can expect a variety of delicious doggie cookies and biscuits! Almost wish I were you!
    Enjoy, all.

    Beautiful name, face…thank you for rescuing instead of buying. This grateful girl will shower you with an abundance of grateful love and companionship. No one takes the place of our lost loved ones, but the thing is…having experienced so much love only increases your capacity to give and receive more.

    I have a “rescue” too! She will never be a replacement for my 1st dog who was 2 days + 2 months short of her 13th birthday; but Crissie needed a home as much as we needed her. BTW, she will be 9 on Groundhog day; not bad for a pup that wasn’t supposed to live…. Love her! <3

    Now, THAT is a dog! Beautiful shepherd-husky mix, mebbe?
    She will always be Ophelia to me. Thanks for saving her.

    I have always acquired my cats from a shelter. The last two have
    been black. Blacks are overlooked (because they are not ‘flashy’).

    My first girl was overlooked for FIVE years! Staff was in tears of
    joy when I chose her. Chloe was a senior–12 years old–with
    lots of dental and medical problems which I had taken care of or
    ameliorated. She spent four royal years with me.

    My new girl ‘spoke’ to me through her internet photo–seriously!
    She has a sweet disposition in a panther’s body.

    God blesses us with wonderful new family members through
    animal shelters that care for abandoned animals until we come along.

    Kisses for Ophelia,
    Marnie and Chloe Valentina in Akron

    What a beautiful addition. We still mourn the loss of our 15-year-old Shepherd and the house was so quiet, even though we have 2 black labs; they are both 10. Three years later we decided to add to our house to shake things up. We adopted another shepherd and she is three times the energy of the others. She will bring great joy to you and the Silver Fox, and Lily will be smiling upon you.

    I actually read ALL of the comments before sending one of my own…
    Can you believe little Avery is loved by so many people she’s never met? I can, and I’m sure she can feel it, which is how she knows she’s right where she belongs.
    Now, about sleeping on the furniture….
    In Avery’s honor, perhaps a post in the future with tips for living with our furry friends while keeping things fresh and clean! This is something I struggle with daily, so any and all tips are appreciated.

    Hola Avery Ophelia Elizabeth! ¡Welcome! Te llamaré Avery pues eres una niña pequeña y muy muy guapa, guapísima. Me alegro mucho de conocerte. Eres muy fotogénica. Vas a estar como una reina en tu nueva y definitiva casa donde te van a querer y cuidar mucho. Un beso muy grande para tí, Averi. Goodbye.

    YAY! I knew that big ole heart of yours would come around and open it up to another angel in need! She reminds me of my boy Eddy, who was found wandering the streets of Miami. She is gorgeous and will bring both of you much happiness and peace and vice versa. Congrats to all of you!

    What a spectacularly beautiful young miss! She definitely needs those three gorgeous names – so fitting for her darling face… She is definitely THE Princess Avery of Clover Hill. Good job, Guys, you definitely picked a winner. Can’t wait to hear what she will do when she has the run of your beautiful grounds. Perhaps she will be first in the pool this year? Although I feel she is a perfect Ophelia, I have learned that dogs respond best to two-syllable names: Li-ly; Av-ery. Blessings to all and, yes, I do believe Lily somehow sent her to you.

    She looks exactly like my late Tippy, who was part beagle and part something else. I hope your girl brings you as much happiness as my Tippy brought me. We never forget our fur babies and certainly a new one doesn’t replace any other; our hearts just expand and there is room for one more. With best wishes and high expectations for great happiness!

    Cynthia says

    Oh Kevin!!! She is absolutely adorable!!! So thrilled you and Foxy adopted again sooner rather than later. Lily will be proud of you. This is one very lucky puppy and I can look in her eyes and see how excited she is for her brand new life!!! Look forward to watching her grow and thrive. Happy news!!!

    Avery will have the best life ever! Talk about winning the doggy lottery! I have two new rescues to help with the loss of my 13 year old lab Shelby! Shiloh and Piper are truly my new babies and a gift from God! Cheers to you and Will , Kevin! As always enjoy every moment!

  181. 181

    Samantha says

    She’s so sweet! Congratulations to you all! No one can ever replace the dog that lives in our hearts (my collie Taffy has permanent residence in mine as Lily does in yours), but truly loving humans make additional room for other fur family, as you have, as I have, as so many do for the ones who really need us. When Pixie and Soleil (also rough collies) came to me after Taffy died, I felt as if she chosen them out for me. Maybe Lily was hard at work for you too, finding just the perfect companion, and didn’t want you to be lonely or sad. Love never dies, Kevin. If that sounds maudlin or trite I cannot apologize; Lily continues to love you and is happy to share you with Avery, as Taffy shares us with Pixie and Soleil. How delightful to have Avery padding around Clover Hill!

    Mary Beth says

    I love ❤️ her ears? She is cute and looks very smart. A house is not a home without doggies. It is just lonesome. I am happy for you and look forward to more pictures of her. And what a name.

    Gale Dickert says

    So happy for you two and Avery who looks right at home snuggling on your sofa!
    I must eat gluten free, but loved reading your potato bread recipe – looks
    delicious!! I’m still enjoying crusty buttermilk cornbread I made yesterday in my old
    iron frying pan using cornmeal from a gristmill in NC. We southerners add a little sugar to our cornbread.
    Re peeling potatoes –guess some folks don’t know how easily the skin comes off after boiling! Remember, always buy organic potatoes which are, thankfully, very easy to find now — as those not organically grown are among the most toxic veggies due to chemicals used in planting! Same is true of celery. Got to stay healthy!!

    Oh Kevin ,I am so happy for you and Foxy. Little Avery has now the very perfect home, with 2 very loving parents. I know for sure that she will be so well looked after, and have buckets full of love and cuddles ! I have no doubt in my mind that your gorgeous Lilly has specially chosen her for you. Avery will return unconditionally to you the love you will give her. Well done and my best wishes for a long and happy life for the 3 of you. Dominique from Christchurch New Zealand.

    I have 2 rescue cats that I love with all my heart and soul. Since my husband passed away, I would be so lonely without them. I’m so happy you guys have a new love in your life. Your puppy is a really lucky girl. Everyone should choose rescues first, they really need us and we need them. “ hugs and kisses “.

    Carla says

    I am so happy you picked a shelter pet!!
    She is gorgeous. She may have separation anxiety is why she will not let you out of her sight! She may be like that forever, my “Bella” was from a shelter, I know she must have had an abusive life before she entered ours, that was in 2005, she’s still with us, hopefully for awhile yet, but I know when her time comes, we will be heartbroken.
    Enjoy and love that new puppy !

    Lesley says

    I love how Avery looks so content and as if she’s always been a part of the family. And too cute how she seems to own that chesterfield. So happy for all of you – you never replace another dog – but there is something known as dog angels. They just seem to know their place. And I say too – lucky dog!! Enjoy.

    Lady Avery Ophelia Elizabeth, your new home is full of love. As you return love for love to these two men, you will know what a wonderful life the Lady Lilly before you enjoyed with them. I say congratulations to you, Silver Fox and Kevin. As it has been said, the best way to honor your loved fur one who has gone on to the Rainbow Bridge is to bring home a new baby. How special will be the learning, over the years,about each other over the years that will be filled with love

    There is nothing like the pitter patter of little paws in the house. Can’t wait to see more pics in the coming months.

    Our rescue pup survived Katrina, was in no-kill shelters for about 2 years before we got together. He is a shaggy schnauzer with long ears and tail, now about 17 years old, blind and deaf but bounces around after each nap. Life will not be the same without him but we appreciate each day. May your pup live as long. Enjoy her!

    Thank you for rescuing and adopting! Your baby girl is beautiful! Those who rescue and adopt are my heroes, so again, thank you! We have four furry babies, poodles and a maltese, three of whom are rescued so we send warm wishes and hugs for every happiness.

    She’s adorable but females can be a handful. I’m happy to hear a smile from you again.

    Thank you for rescuing instead of shopping. This puppy will forever love you for saving her life, and freeing up her former foster home to save another. When you adopt, you save 2 dog lives. Thank you for being a great example of love!

    How wonderful that you could open your heart and life again to a new companion. It is so lonely once our dear friend has gone to the Rainbow Bridge. This is wonderful news. Congratulations for saving a life and making yours better.

    I’m sure Lily sends her blessings from above and thank you for welcoming a rescue pup into your home. We have 2 and our boy Brogan should have been named ‘Velcro’ – he doesn’t leave my husbands side – such sweeties!

    Though it is true that your new baby is blessed to be a part of your family, I suspect it is even more true that you are the blessed one. They know how to love, these furry ones, and they sense our needs and fill them. Congratulations to everyone in your family!
