im very very tempted to.....

adopt a little jack russell .... yes a little yapper!!!!

ive been back to the kennels today to walk the rescue's .... today there was a little jack russell in there.... he was covered in scabs and looked quite filthy... he had been run over and found by the dog warden ....i took him out for a walk and he was absolutely adorable.... i found my self imagining him coming home with me..... not sure how old he is, but hes only a little fellow :2431: the OH rang tonight and i mentioned the dog to him, and he loves small dogs ... he wants me to take the little dog out tomorrow with fred to see how they get on... and then maybe have the little dog at home for a day or two to see how they are.... and if all goes well we would keep him .....thats if hes not claimed by the owner first :2431:

BUT..... my worries are... how will fred be with him? is there going to be carnage?... fred has had run- ins with little dogs before!!....will the little dog have a bad effect on fred? we know nothing about the little dogs background?...

am i thinking with my head and not my heart

Well your taking him out with Fred tomorrow, you will get an initial insight to how they are

Only by you and Fred spending time with Jacko will tell you how they will be

Bryn has had run-ins from little dogs attacking him but I knew he would be fine with Ellie belly, chuckles isn't an annoyer, if that makes sense you will have to see how Jacko is with other dogs hun


I wish you all the luck that it goes well and Jacko doesn't have another side to him as he obviously suits your and your OH

we passed a few dogs on the walk today and little jacko didnt batter an eyelid at them ....

this is whats worrying me sange.... if he has ''another side to him''......

on his walk he seemed very laid back and placid... he walked with his nose facing forward and bothered with absolutey no one or anything that went by.... im wondering if he is still not right after being knocked over, and then after a while his wild side comes out :2431: ....

i will see how they go on tomorrow.... will see if fred pushes his luck and jacko loses his temper :2431:

Would of thought that if he is still not right after the accident he would of tended to be a bit defensive

However, whenever we had new clients we would always wait till the honeymoon period was over before we felt we knew them

hmmmm thats true sange ...

when he was in his kennel he looked perkier and was jumping up at the cage all excited.... but once he was on that lead he was amazing....
i wish i had kept bettys old crate now, i could have had him overnight and observed him and fred

You will have time hun and if they have a nice walk together that will give you clues

i will see how it goes tomorrow, if its meant to be it will be .....

freds so rough though he might squish him :2431:

best thing hun

Anyway, what colour was he? rough or smooth coat? long leg or short? come on I want to see him in my mind by what you say

hes white with lots of dark scabs lol... very short smooth hair and lickle ickle legs and an ickle lickle tail :2431: ... im not sure if hes got colouring around his nose, cos its all bloody and scabbed ...

ooooh think his ears are brown

Aww sounds a sweetie pie

he would look lovely in a little coat :2431: ..... at first i wondered if he was blind cos he wouldnt look at me, wouldnt have any fuss at all ...then i got out the secret weapon.... the treats... even then he didnt pay me much attention

ooooooooooo hope everything goes well with Fredley and the yapper tomorrow and that you might bring him home with you!!!

will let you all know how it goes on ....

not sure whats going to happen when his seven days are up, he might already be going somewhre ....

But with 7 days you will get to know him a fair bit so if he has not gone you should know if you wanna give him a try

hes already been in there a few days though sange, he could already be nearing his 7 days and they may have plans for him..... i need to ask more tomorrow ..... its always so rushed when im there.... its in and out, elaines very busy lol.... :2431:

hope it goes well hun
