Jackson came about the week before I picked him up. I had a picture of him (before I even met him) and had a list of doggy names I liked. My mom & I had just watched Walk the Line w/ Johnny Cash and we loved his song 'Jackson' and I sang it karaoke as a joke, lol. Well... the name just stuck. I kept looking at his pic and nothing else stuck out to me... my aunt had also joked that we could call him Jackson Five and I am a fan of MJ as well so the name worked out!
