Hi Marie! Tell Sammy that Lolo and I are so proud of him for losing a pound! How much does he have to lose? I wonder if you can get a "ticker" for him?

Hey ya'll! How's everyone doing?

Hey ya'll! How's everyone doing?

doing great! how bout yourself???? r u from the south too??? ( just wonderin because of the ya'll) lol

Just north of Atlanta...the snow this past week was torture for my pups. They would go out in 30 minute intervels and run like mad and then come in and curl up on the couch in a ball to reheat.

LOL:) thats funny..you need to get on her tail, she hasnt been on for a while! its nice to connect with people from the same area!

Yay! new fav thread! Lexie says congrats to Sammy as well, and good morning to LoLo! Lexie is so sweet she gives me "hugs" every day before I go to work, it makes me sad that I can't bring her with me!

It's funny how much alike our dogs seem to be. Lois's morning routine is as follows: Alarm goes off, she moves up from under the covers and lays between DH and I with her head on the pillow. We crawl out of bed and she stays in until I come out from the shower. She goes outside for a minute and either goes back to bed or sits on the couch with her dad. The moment I take the towel off my hair to blow dry it, she comes in and hops up on my lap. I have to blow dry her for a minute before I can start on my hair. I make her hop off while I do my hair and she will go in for a bite to eat. Then, back to bed or the couch, or she'll find a toy if she is feeling energetic. She lays in the bedroom while I get ready to head out the door, follows me to the door and her and DH kiss me bye and wish me a good day. It is so funny! She is soooooo exhausted on Mondays - like mother like dog I guess! :laugh:

Good morning! I love this thread! I want to share a funny story with fellow JRT lovers.

Last week the kids, 16, 14, 5 (the only boy), and 2 went to play in the snow. Our back yard is about .75 acres and is fenced. General thinks that is most def. "his" space. He is always thrill when the family joins him in his space to play, but he's gotta show his stuff for a few minutes. So, he went racing around the yard, bringing the kids toys and teasing them and then he got one of our son's gloves and took off. My son was a wreck, crying and yelling at him.

General thought is was fabulous and was totally teasing the kids with it as the older two tried to get it from him. Finally, our 14 year old came in to get dad (General is SO just one of the kids, lol). Before my husband could get outside, our 2 year old, who has autism, yelled for General to stop it and he brought the glove over to our son, dropped it and went down in a submissive position, ears back and all. It's so funny how he knows to listen to her, but will ignore the older three kids all the time, lol. I was watching from the kitchen window and it was the funniest thing I've seen in a long time.

JRT's really are wonderful family dogs!! I wouldn't trade his energy and craziness for anything!

what a cute story about General! Lexie does similar stuff to me, she listens to her daddy much better than me because daddy will discipline her and mommy is a softie...lol she has toys that she know their names too! if I tell her to go get her "bear" she goes and gets it...it amazes me how intelligent JRT's are, most people dont believe me when I tell them that she understands when I talk to her..they just think Im crazy for talking to a dog, but in my mind she is just a furry human with four legs!

Morning all! Lexie wanted to say good morning, and hope everyone is having a fantastic day so far. The snow in my backyard is still there, but Lexie seems to have gotten used to it some, she will stay out for around 10 minutes now before she whines to come back in, she hates the cold!

Poor Lexie. Our front yard is still covered...we had some trees removed from our back yard last year so I guess it's a bit more open now (we had a tree fall on my hubbys car and it pulled the lines down...thus, no power in my house at 3 in the morning...with three dogs, 1 child, and no hubby (he was away on business)...and it was storming, it was horrible). To this day I shake when it's really windy at night.

I believe that General would love it in GA. Our 'winters' are cold and usually are from January-March. Our blizzard of '95 was in March I believe. Just be prepared for the heat in summer. General sounds a lot like my inlaws Jack-Pitti Pat...she runs her patrol about 6 times a day and then lounges on the back porch the rest of the time. There are no animals in that back yard...squirrels, frogs, turtles...and of course the dreaded cat. Pitti and her sisses Scarlette, Dixie, and Chimi took down a copperhead this past spring. Pitti, Scar, and Dixie are all JRTs...Chimi is a chihuahua. We also have the preveledge of having my sis-in-law here (her hubbs is in Korea right now-1 year deployment) with her two dogs-Roxanne (a JRT) and Bogie (Lab mix). During the holidays when my other BIL/SIL are down we have a houseful. 12 dogs to 12 humans.

Good morning JRT Lovers! I have class on Tuesdays until 10pm. Lois was sad and missing her mommy last night. When I got out of class I called home and her daddy said she was sad. He told her I would be home soon and her ears perked up and she ran to the front door. He said, "no, not yet Lolo" and she got sad again. She was so happy to see her mommy when I got home!

We are supposed to get temperatures in the low 40's in the next few days. That will feel like a heat wave! I hope the snow melts and I can take Lo for a nice long walk!

By the way, I loved the story about General and the glove, really warmed my heart! Have a great day everyone!

Hey there JR lovers. I have an adorable JR and her name is PRINCESS. There are more photos of her on my profile so check them out. She is so spoiled and sometimes I think that SHE thinks that she is human:laugh: . She is very jealous over my whole family. She will stand at the back door and if one of the cats outside gets to close to one of us, well you would thing she turned into Kujo:grumble: , lol:laugh: . If you have ever seen the incredible hulk then you know what I mean. She will be David Banner:happy: one minute but make her mad and she turns into the Incredible Hulk:explode: , lol.:laugh: :laugh: She is so adorable though. She is my baby and I love her.

She's beautiful! They all think that they're human and gods at that...we're the slaves who do their bidding.

Morning all! what a touching story Caliecat, thanks for sharing! Lexie says good morning all and is very excited because it is going to be 55 degrees today! that means she gets to go outside all day and play with her big brother No Name! Hope everyone is having a great day!
And Princess is absolutely adorable!!!!

Good morning!
Calie-sorry to hear about your legs.
