Denecee | Friday, November 07, 2003 - 02:30 pm     Awww!!! That is a great story Meme. We have a black lab(Hudson) and he is the best. I have a similiar story about a cat in the cat thread. Dogs are great walking partners! |
Hippyt | Friday, November 07, 2003 - 02:59 pm     I just took my kids to Petsmart to get some super deodorizing dawg shampoo for the stanky furball known as Lola. I would compare it to taking a burlap bag with a couple of squirrels to the front door,throwing it open and letting them run! Next time,I'm going alone! |
Grooch | Friday, November 07, 2003 - 03:13 pm     Congrats, Meme! It's so nice to hear a story w/ a happy ending! Congrats! Hippyt, lol! I've taken my dog there a few times, and everytime I think I must have been out of my mind to do it. It is impossible to push a cart full of dog stuff and hold onto the dog leash at the same time. And what idiot thouoght of putting a giant wire basket of loose pig ears right next to the register? <rolls eyes> |
Meme9 | Friday, November 07, 2003 - 03:48 pm     Thanks Denecee, I'll have to check that story out. Our cat was a stray kitten when we took it in....and ugly...he(Hoover, like the vacuum..hehe)turn into a very handsome cat. LOL Hippyt, I have that image in my head now...and all the kids running wildly out of the bag! I'm still laughing! Thanks Grooch, we are lucky the Shelby found us. |
Tater | Saturday, November 08, 2003 - 02:29 pm     Okay I used to have two pure black labs, about a hundred lbs each! And I used to have a Native American Gift Shop attached to my house. You could look out the kithcen door right into the store. Well, Grizzy wanted all the attention all the time when customers came in. (Big ole Baby) While I was waiting on them he would go into the landry basket get and under garment or two and come back to the door. He would then stand up an unfurl my bra or undies for all the world to see! Well you can imagine my ebarassment when I looked up. LOL This happened no matter where I hide the basket. Big Sweetie. I miss him! |
Theowl | Sunday, November 09, 2003 - 08:28 am     HAPPY #10 BIRTHDAY SPIRIT, SUZIE AND SHANNON!!! I can't believe It's been 10 years!! Also, Happy Birthday to their brother Joe and sisters CB (Cry Baby) and Mandy. I hope they're all as safe and healthy and happy as the kids we kept. Of course, they will get Chezy Treats for their official BD treat and they all get a WHOLE can of Beef Stew for supper. That will have to do because they don't like toys. Stucky and Sandi will get the same treatment, even though they're only 2 years old this spring. Wow, in doggy years that makes them 70 years old!! But then it also makes me 350 years old. AAARRRGGG!! MGA, how is Zoey doing? I hope she's healing up good. Is Sasha still taking care of her? Great pics, Kalli!! I love the hot dog!! I love your doggy stories Hippyt, DDR, Whoami, Denecee and Tater!! Aren't dogs a joy!! How did the flyball go Y_I_C? I wish my doggys would play like that, but they never did chase or play with toys. Only Stucky, our choc. lab. He loves to swim in our pond, too, and comes up all green with alge. ICK!! That's a great story Meme!! I love the name Shelby (of course "S"). You are a doggy angel!! Kstme, I just love your dogs!! That's a great picture in your profile. How are Ollie and Maggie doing lately?
our 's!!

Kstme | Sunday, November 09, 2003 - 09:15 am     A BIG HAPPY B'DAY to ALL you B'day pups! Owl, doesn't the time fly by...too fast! Ollie was two on Thursday and Mags turns two today! I knew they had something in common with yours! I put the new pic in my profile last night. I really need to get one that really shows just how much trouble they can get into! lol To all the posters I missed over the last three weeks...what Owl said!!!!(hope you don't mind, Ms. Owl) |
Mygetaway | Tuesday, November 11, 2003 - 06:41 pm     Hiya Owl.. Yes Zoey is doing much better. She had her last antibiotic day before yesterday, and can have the stitches out Thurs. It looks good. I just hope the hair grows back normally. Sasha still likes to try and lick the stitches, but is back to her normal self, being a pig and hogging all the food, etc. lol. Happy B-day to your poochies..  |
Lostintheglades | Thursday, November 13, 2003 - 10:40 am     Okay...I have no pics to post of me in the "Who we are" thread so I'll post pics of my puppies here. This is Ethel - PBFC(Pure Bred Florida Curr)
she was the queen of the house until we got Millie the JRT.
Her reign was cut short when DD#1 brought home a new cat. |
Meme9 | Thursday, November 13, 2003 - 10:58 am     Awwwww, Hi Ethel and Millie. Cute doggies! |
Yankee_In_Ca | Thursday, November 13, 2003 - 12:13 pm     Ahhhh! First, I must say that Ethel is a sweetie... But as another JRT owner, I have to comment on Millie!!! She's gorgeous! I too have a broken/rough-coated JRT with lots of color on its face -- what a little rascal! Yankee |
Yankee_In_Ca | Thursday, November 13, 2003 - 12:17 pm     Here's my boy:

Froggiegirl621 | Thursday, November 13, 2003 - 12:58 pm     Oh my God! He is toooooo cute Yankee!!! Now I really, really, really want a puppy!!! |
Yankee_In_Ca | Thursday, November 13, 2003 - 01:21 pm     Hey, Lostintheglades -- See? Who says that Jack Russells never sit still?! We both got ours to pose for the cameras! Thanks, Froggiegirl621. He's my cutie-pie. I think he and Millie should get together! |
Sasman | Thursday, November 13, 2003 - 01:23 pm     Yank our JR never sits still unless we either stare at him or point a camera at him. Check my profile for Jack's pic! BTW, your boy is gorgeous!!!! |
Yankee_In_Ca | Thursday, November 13, 2003 - 01:35 pm     Sasman -- What a cutie you've got there! I think it's so neat how JRTs all look different -- I always have to explain to people that they're bred for their working characteristics, not for their looks. |
Ddr1135 | Thursday, November 13, 2003 - 02:27 pm     Since we're on a JRT roll, I'll post a pic of mine. He looks totally different from everybody's, LOL.

Kstme | Thursday, November 13, 2003 - 02:37 pm     What adorable pics and pups!! |
Mygetaway | Thursday, November 13, 2003 - 02:48 pm     I agree with Kstme.. What cuties.. I love looking at everyone's pets. |
Twinkie | Thursday, November 13, 2003 - 02:54 pm     I'm loving these pics!! I don't have a dog but I want one very badly. I've had dogs all my life, but hubby said that until we get a fenced yard, no puppy. I have to be content with my babies, my cats, for now. My best friend was over the other night and I was showing him around TVCH and he was wondering why there were so many pics in the Cat thread and not the Dog thread. Good question!! |
Lostintheglades | Friday, November 14, 2003 - 08:24 am     Awww....he is so cute Yankee!!! I had no idea you had a JRT. You don't see many with the broken coats. Some people don't even realize she's a JRT. Ddr....what a cutie!!! Now that's the typical looking JRT and he's beautiful!!! All 3 of ours seem to be pretty good at posing too. I'm impressed. Millie was supposed to be for the girls but she is definitely turned out to be my dog. JRT's are not for everyone but if you have the energy, space and time for them they are extremely loyal and so much fun aren't they Yankee? My DH trained Hunters and Jumpers for years and found Ethel when she was a puppy while he was taking a horse out on a trail ride for some R&R. He went passed a house and all these puppies came running out. She was the only one brave enough to come up to the horse. The owner picked her up and handed her to DH and she peed on him so he figured he was a marked man and brought her home. She weighs about 95 pounds and possibly saved our lived one night as someone was attempting to break in our home while we were sleeping. She's 15 now but is handling her age very well so far. Would put some pictures in the horse thread but it makes me sad to look at them. The last 5 years make up my first and only time that I've been without a horse since I was 3. Which reminds me....I need to go get some lottery tickets. (Some people buy houses...I'll be buying horses.) More Pics!!!! |
Yankee_In_Ca | Sunday, November 16, 2003 - 12:58 pm     Lostintheglades -- yes, a few people from time to time tell me that he's not a JRT, and that's usually when I have to explain that these dogs are primarily bred for their working abilities and not necessarily a certain "look." That said, the longer-legged variety is being called a Parson Russell Terrier in the U.S. by the AKC now, to distinguish it from the shorties... Here's a link http://www.akc.org/breeds/recbreeds/jrt.cfm But here in Canada, he's still a JRT. Personally, I don't care what he's called -- he's mine and he's wonderful. And yes, they do have LOTS of energy and certainly aren't the dog for everyone... but I am very active myself and love to spend up to 2 hours a day taking him on walks, to the park to play ball and/or with other dogs, etc. I enjoy it. I don't have a yard (live in the city), but I'm lucky to live in a city with an abundance of large, clean parks (many designated for off-leash), walking paths along the ocean, dog beaches, etc. It can be hard to have a JRT in the city, but if you live in the RIGHT city and dedicate your time to it, it's really fun. And the upside to all that time I put into it, is when he's home he's exhausted and usually just likes to snuggle! I don't ever think I've seen a Florida Curr before, but Ethel sure is a cutie! And sounds like she's a very good girl too. (By the way, my JRT for some reason hates horses -- I know, it goes against the breed, but he goes ballistic every time he sees a horse. Weirdo.) |
Lostintheglades | Monday, November 17, 2003 - 04:40 am     LMAO Yankee, Thanks for the link...Millie would be disqualified due to her "Overt aggression towards other dogs or humans" but I think you'd be okay because it doesn't say anywhere that they have to like horses. Our other JRT's went to all the horse shows with us. The kids would have jumping contests with them between their classes. I have a feeling that Millie would not like horses either. She's a real terror and would probably react the same way. Florida Curr isn't really a breed, although it should be. They are usually a mixture of Pitt Bull, Shepard, Hound and what ever else gets mixed in and are always brindle or red in color. They make great pets and are really good working dogs, whether you're hunting or herding cows. They're also very protective. She lived outside when we had our horse farm but became an indoor dog after Hurricane Andrew blew us away. Needless to say she adapted to the indoors in a hurry and has been a very lazy house dog ever since. I'm lucky enough to have a yard where she spends a lot of time chasing lizards, moles, squirrels or what ever else is brave enough to step foot in our yard. She's even caught a couple fruit rats and house mice for me. She's also gotten hold of a snake or two so I have to keep an eye on her. Luckily these haven't been poisonous but she'll go after anything and as much as I hate the snakes I've actually had to rescue a few from her. She's a much better mouser than my cat. What's really funny is when she's outside and hears something she'll run back in the house and bark at Ethel and Ethel will follow her outside to check it out. Getting re-inforcements I guess. She usually needs a bath by the end of the day cause there's no way she's getting in my bed after all that. That is great that you have places you can let him run too. I don't think I could do that with Millie...if she starts chasing something it'd take me forever to get her attention back to me. |
Lostintheglades | Tuesday, November 18, 2003 - 10:41 am     Here's my DD#1 at work....The caption would be. "Mom..isn't he just the cutest thing? Can I bring him home? Huh? Can I?
