Mine too :(

So I got this little JRT who is now 3 months and 1 week old and yes he is becoming a professional excavator. However, he has a trait that I have never seen in my prior JRT's. When not excavating he loves to lay and watch TV. I told my wife that if he keeps it up I will need to get him his own flat screen and a special bowl to hold his Orville Redenbacher popcorn. Wife said, no problem but, I better not catch him chewing the remote or I will throw you both out. Tough being a dog and a dog lover!

Geronimo, that is really a great looking dog you have there. Is he/she as friendly as the face looks?

RKT, that is hilarious as it is trying to be your helper. My one JRT that passed away in July always did the same thing no matter what I was working on. Would never touch anything but, just sit and watch. They just are so determined to share with you. My wife and I really considered getting a Dachshund as they are really great little dogs. We decided to get another JRT as we have had a lot of experience owning them as they are a real challenge to one patience and intelligence. I will have to show your picture to my wife when she gets home as I can just imagine how much she will laugh.

Shy, then very friendly, if you are human.
If you are a strange dog...not so much. (But we're working on that)

its Spring and kiwi dogs are swimming!

Does he still have a mullet? :D Handsome boy!

Yes, he still has the mullet - LOL! Thought about giving him a Mohawk. I'll probably do that next spring. ;)

^^^Baz- terrific photo.
Q for you. During a bike ride this week, came close to having shredded thighs, and I don't mean shaved. Owner was out chit chatting with another of which that person had her two dogs on leashes. Owner of 'blue' did not and that little guy kicked it in gear really fast... nearly got me. What repels them without me having to take my backpack hatchet out?

Zavo - firstly as far as Blues go...their bark is worse than their bite.....in fact their bark will scare the willies out of you...ha ha.....but the ones I have been around do not bite - unless you invade their space.

That said - try peddling faster, squirting them with your water bottle, wave your air pump at them in a swatting motion, tossing treats at them, or just yelling at them maybe. I do not endorse the use of pepper spray except as a last resort.

If I lived in post apocalyptic Austrailia, I'd want a cattle dog as my companion.

This was on TV last night, I'd never seen it before. I couldn't help but see my dog in every scene.

Great clip and I agree.....truly the breed to have when in survival mode....

haha- Probably a good natured pooch but that one spooked me for a moment! Surprised how faaaast it hooked up on asphalt and sprinted. Amazing. Been bit a few times and although I love em', no fun risking a crash or worse. Could only imagine a small kid on a bike dealing with that guy. That incident was a close call and I figured the owner had it on a leash.

L O V E that movie, of course I've only seen it 9 or so times :D , (& now maybe again thanks to you clams!). I like when 'Dog' has the stick in his mouth so when he pulls it the shotgun goes off. But of course like any good hero Dog takes one for the team :(

See, I didn't make it until the end...it was on late. :(

I should have given a spoiler alert :(

Thanks Vin....didn't know about that. Great idea....wonder if humans will be smart enough to understand...

Great photo, Mark. My 2 girls have been sleeping very well lately. The positions they end up in are beyond comical!

Like Dad....they like their sleep.

Our new pup, Storm. He's a labradoodle just under 2 years old. My wife decided it was time for a new pooch. After reading various (sometimes frightening) bios on shelter/rescue web sites I called one of my old clients who is a dog trainer. She told me she had "the perfect dog" and he was up for adoption. My wife immediately went to meet him and fell in love. The trainer was right... this guy has no bad habits. Very calm, very well mannered. But, take him to the park and he gets goofy and runs like a racehorse.

Watching an episode of Arrow. The fact that he really does watch TV made me think of Enzo from Art of Racing in the Rain. Started re-reading it this week! :)

Hey Lee and co......congrats! Storm is a great looking puppy. Love that last pic...lol. Dogs are the best....enjoy and please give Storm a belly rub or three from us. :)

Baz - your dogs are absolutely beautiful. I seen my two JRT's lay together like yours. Oh wait, that was when they were kennelmates at 7 weeks old. Just kidding! I have never met a dog that I didn't like!

Thanks Crown but these are Mark's puppies.....

http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1382455892.jpg

And I agree....they are most beautiful!

BTW: I know a LOT of JRT's....they are a handful but so loyal and protective...just like our ACD's!

RKT - That is a classic picture and I am still laughing. I was really struggling with my 2 month old JRT as he was a terrible nipper and unruly. Having wore out my water spray bottle I decided to take him to a 'Positive Approach' Training class and put him in doggie daycare every Monday. Wow, what a difference that has made. He is now 4 months old. No more nipping and he can't wait to go play with all his friends on Monday's. Probably the best thing I ever did for the little guy. My wife and I spend about 2 hours a day training him to be a young gentlemen so other people can appreciate and love him like we do.
