Well, Julia and I finally broke down to the puppy dog eyes of our children. Twelve years ago, Nov 18th marked a special day in our life. It was the birth of our only son, Josiah. Over the last 4 years, he has been asking for a puppy. Our answer was NO because, we have too hectic of a lifestyle to add another thing to our plate. Well, we started noticing Josiah's love and passion for animals. Not just dogs, but animals in general. Then he got his sisters in on the act and all of them, with those (Julia look a like eyes) began to work on us. We finally gave in, flew down to Austin, TX and purchased a little Boston Terrier we named, Wrigley Jo ( I will let you guess where the names come from). Ok, I will tell you, Wrigley is from our beloved Cubs who choose not to disappoint us, year after year. (Maybe this pup will bring them some luck.) What about Jo? Non other than Michael JOrdan the greatest basketball player of all time and favorite son of Chicago (well until Obama came to town). Josiah has hopes of competing with Wrigley in agility competitions. Wrigley comes from a great line of champions himself.
Here is a quick fact for all those that love to know more about the Woodses. All except one of our kids have been born in a Chicago Bull Championship years and Julia and I were married when they won their first title in 91. I know I know, I am sick in the head with sports. None the less we are bringing "Wrig" into a wonderful home and with all the attention he can handle. So, when you come to the studio I am sure he will be here waiting to meet you as well!

Congrats on the new addition!
(11.21.08 @ 11:27 PM)Dude... WrigleyJ is freaking adorable... I love the "W" tag too... so fitting for the "W" clan! What a doll! -B
(11.25.08 @ 09:50 AM)It was fun to keep this little secret with you over our photo session. What a cute dog! Hope Wrigley is ready for all the many more spectacular photos over the years to come! We're so glad you posted this! By the way, we cannot thank you enough for doing our photos and not just doing them, but doing them so amazingly well! You really captured us! You guys ROCK!
(11.25.08 @ 11:10 PM)I think it is awesome that you flew to Austin and bought a puppy from a breeder that cares about the quality of animals that they are producing. Some people don't understand that buying from puppymills makes the problem WORSE! Congrats Jeff and Julia on your new addition to your family. He is going to be well loved, and you made a great decision :)
(11.28.08 @ 02:53 PM)Wow This cute little pup just caught me eye! He looks just like my little Walter! But I just had to walk to next door the a LOCAL breeder to get him.
(01.23.09 @ 08:45 AM)You will love this little Boston with all your heart. I have a Boston and think she is the closest thing to a human baby as you can get. They become such a part of your family, you can't even imagine. Mine loves clothes more than I do. Must have a cubs doggie jersey
