Hooch!

[Knatie]

Hey Hooch, you brave and handsome old guy.

I hope your human companions realise how much you deserve a special doggie vacation at the vacation spot of your choice. To Club Puppy Med, perhaps? - or to that famous Hollywood Canine Resort where you'll receive gentle massages and tasty snausages, a spa makeover to restore your youth, and meet some Jack Russell women for wild dancing and romance.

I hope you will be feeling much better soon, Hooch - and that you - because of your loyal and intrepid guardianship of the washing machine - receive more than just the verbal recognition as Dog of the Day.

Anyone here wish to chip in for Hooch's air tickets?

You're awesome!
:D :D :D :D :D

Hope you feel better soon, Hooch! Congrats on being chosen "Dog of the Day"!

Having lived with an ill-tempered poodle for 13 years, I've got a soft spot for grouchy dogs, but my enthusiasm was tempered somewhat by hearing of Hooch's recent troubles. However, I imagine his grumpiness provides him with the stoicism that will see him through!

Yay for Hooch!

Well I have to second Knatie's idea of a perfect vacation getaway for our bestest Dog of the Day. That's you, Hooch! Also I'd like to recommend you for the first doggie version of Survivor because you evidently have got what it takes.

As to all that grrrring, tell your mom that's not being grumpy, just speaking your piece and letting her know you've got your own idea of how things should go around that house and especially in running your own life. I should know, that little lady on my left (Hannah) can talk up a grrrring storm about anything and everything.

Anyway, Hooch, I do hope that you will recoup completely from your injuiries and illness so you can continue to live the life a JRT is entitled to. Happy Dog of the Day to you, Hooch! We LOVE YOU!

perfect suggestion Knatie! Hooch isn't grumpy-he's being a terrier! Terriers should be treated with the utmost respect and dignity. Old British writer once said the feet of a Jack Russell should never touch anything but the finest oriental carpets! Totally agree! A very dignified tummy rub for being DOTD!!:)

Look at handsome Hooch sitting there waiting for treat! I love your name little Hoochie - and I hope you are feeling much much better since your hard times!!
Congrats to Adorable Hooch, Our Awesome Pet of the Day!! :) :D :)

Hooch -- you are the man. Henry the Harrier Hound says he'd love to take you hunting with him anyday, cause you're a dog's dog. Hope you're feeling better real soon.

Hooch you are an adorable grumpy old man!!!:D I want you to feel better real soon, and your owner is right-it should cheer you up to be the center of attention all over the world today!!! You're a cutie:) !!!!

The eyes of the world are upon you handsome Hooch and I sure do hope it helps to put a "smile" on that adorable face of yours!:) (I don't think we have to worry about you still having that "sPriNg" in your step!!:D) Hooch, I see the wisdom of the ages in those soulful brown eyes of yours! And you know what?? Every seasoned canine citizen is entitled to a grumpy day or two!;) You are a precious, feisty little JRT and one super duper Dog of the Day! You know, there's always something a little extra special about our Sunday honorees and you, Hooch, are all that and so much more! I hope you and Hulk and the entire family have a very happy day celebrating your well deserved reign as Pet Talk's "top dog!":D Congratulations Hooch! You're the best!!:) I wish for you many, many more loved filled years with your proud family and best pal Hulk!:)

Mew-mew -- we hope seeing yourself as DOTD has cheered you up big time! Hooch, we are upset that you've had such a bad run but hope you're feeling much better now. Old puppys are extra special and getting on in years means if you're grumpy or growl a little, the fursons just have to give you extra love! That's the best medicine for any pet.

Continue being happy and let your fursons love, spoil and treat you like a king. You deserve it!

KatMa sends you oodles of hugs & kisses and I send sweet kittykisses and comforting purr-purrs along to you.

Lucky for you, you have a loving family and energetic brother to help you feel better. No doubt being DOTD will help.
