Jack russel with an attitude

My niece took the picture of Jack driving and I love it. It shows right their, he loved to be in charge. All my dogs have a drivers permit, in case they need to. My nephew is showing how strong Jack is and how determined he could be. What a show off.

We took care of this little guy 3 years in a row, while his parents where on vacation in Europe. Each time we had him for about 6 month, he was not neutered and every time he came to our home, he claimed it more and more as his territory. He was so great in so many ways, but backing down was not one of them. This little guy had more personality than you can imagine. He ran after every ball and embraced every challenge presented to him. Just watching him swimming after those balls, his little tale going like a propeller, it did not matter to him how far or how cold the water was. He came back with the ball or stick you threw for him. Jack had no fear what so ever and did not back down from a fight. It did not matter how big the opponent was and I loved him for all those reasons, even so it was a nuisance at times. You could only love and admire him, his heart was the size of a lion. Unfortunately when he made up his mind about a dog, he did not forget and every time he saw him, he was ready to fight, he was anal that way, he could not change, what a shame because of all those great attributes he had otherwise, his circle of friends became smaller and smaller. I could have handled that by separating him from the once he did not get along at the time, but when he started going after my boy Eric, I knew it had to be the last time to take him. It started out very innocent, Eric walked towards the front door and Jack thought he should be first. So he attacked Eric and things where never the same. I told the owners that we could not take him back. It was sad, because I really liked that little guy. Few month after that, the owners decided to give him up for adoption. They had no time for Jack and maybe that was the best thing they could do for him. ARF took him, neutered and placed him in a nice home. I do not know where he ended up, but I do know that is was a household where he was the only Lion who roared.

Woof, woof
