Have a Sense of Humor!

For April's Fool Day, my lady decided I needed a tail. Most JRTs have their tails docked when they are puppies. She found this tail and made it look like it was mine. As you can see I wasn't too fond of the idea, but I went along. It is best to have a sense of humor about things you cant control!

ABC Wednesday! E is for ?

Jack Russells are known for their Excessive Energy. We love to run, we love to play, we love to be active.

Lack of Exercise can Exacerbate our ability to get into trouble.

A tired Jack is a good Jack!

My advice is to get as much exercise as you can. It makes you feel better.

It keeps you fit as is Evident in the photos of me running. Get out today and get some Exercise!

ABC Wednesday! Q!!!

Some days it feels like you just can't win. Often us dogs hear the dreaded Q word all day long.
My friends and I are doing things that require humans to use the Q word!

Exercise to feel good!

Now that the days are shorter, many people stop exercising. Their excuses are many, but in the long run, they mean nothing. To feel your best, get out and run off some steam, you will go back to work with a whole new outlook!

That's My Salty Dogs Book!!

Good things come in the mail and yesterday, the first box of Salty Dogs arrived! I have been patiently waiting for this shipment and the lady has worked hard for the last four years to make this dream come true. Perservance and hard work often pay off!

If you are happy and you know it!

If you are happy and you know it , let it show. Seeing someone who is genuinely happy often helps others feel happy as well. A smile can lighten anyone's day, so if you are happy let it show!

Just Adjust!

Dang! Nothing is working!! Usually the humans can't resist this move. I have heard the lady talking about BARF. Gone are the days of grains and I have been switched to a raw diet. After a couple of day, I decided I needed to just adjust, the old days of begging and getting , food from the table are gone. Once I decided that was the way things were, I adjusted. Now the humans they take longer! Get over it and get on with the work of living!

Old Friends are the best!

I have spoken about friendship in the past, but since friends play such an important part in our lives it is worth mentioning again. This is Ollie, a friend from my puppyhood. She recently passed away but she will be forever young in the book Salty Dogs. Tell your friends today how important they are to you!

Instincts 2!

Last Friday I told you how important it is to listen to your instincts. After I continued to run around the shed and tried to get in the door, the lady finally listened to her instincts. She put me in the house, opened the shed and found this extension cord shredded! Luckily it was unplugged, but the rat from the barn came in and had a meal. At least us dogs wouldn't eat the extension cord, wait I take that back , puppies probally would !

Listen to your Instincts!

Instincts are an important part of animals. Humans often ignore their instincts, but us dogs know sometimes it is best to trust your instincts. Here is an example. I knew the minute I walked by the shed door that some critter was inside. If I only knew how to open the door I could have proved I was right. Humans need to listen to their instincts more!

Live in the moment!

Each day is a gift. The object to living is to live as much in the moment as you can. We dogs, understand this and have evolved into the perfect live in the moment creatures. Today, try to live in the moment for just a moment. Feel the breeze, smell the flowers and enjoy the ones you love!

Remember to say thanks!

Sometimes we forget common courtesy.It pays to say thanks to those that do nice things for us. Here I am on vacation, how many of us get to go on most vacations with our humans, so I am letting the mister know how much I appreciate him bringing me along!

Educating Earth Dogs!

Terriers are Earth Dogs. We love to dig, hunt and go to ground. I personally prefer the soft sand for my digging , but any field will do. In the earthdog box is a Bedlington Terrier. He has found his way through the maze to locate the rat safely hiding in the cage.

If your instinct says go for it, then by all means go for it!

Chill out!

I think humans need to learn to relax more. their lives are so busy that even when they have time to stop, they often find something else to do.

They need to take a lesson from us dogs, we know when to chill out. So take a chill pill and try to enjoy the day!

Every dog's wish!

If wishes came true, everyone of us dogs would wish for this fire hydrant that is in Columbia ,SC. If you note tho, there is an obnoxious sign at the bottom of the hydrant. I think this is one of those times us dogs will just have to break the rules!

Go hard or go home!

When swimming, or any activity for that matter, I find the only way to participate is to go hard, or go home!

Hide and Seek!

Hot days means indoor games for me. My humans like to play hide and seek. The silly things hide, I spend some time acting like I have no idea of where they are. When I find them, they give me a treat! Try it , you just might like this game.

One way to cool down when it is hot!

If a pool isn't handy on these hot days, do the next best thing, eat some ice cream. While you should always eat right, a little ice cream is good for the soul! Me, I am a fan of the dreamsicles.

Choose your Friends Wisely!

I choose my friends wisely but I must admit sometimes it helps if they own a pool! Having a friend with a pool is very handy, especially this summer with all the heat!

Know your limits!

Here is my friend , Spree , an English Springer Spaniel. His breed is bred for bird hunting. He is very tolerant of the family bird, but that is because he knows his limit. Notice the bird IS still in a cage.

Know your limits, it helps make life run smoothly!
