Hello all,

This is JustJack’s Dad. Thank you all so much for the warm comments. Jack is a great dog and I really love him. Most days anyway.

A large part of my decision to get a dog was due to this site! I visit almost everyday! All the wonderful pet stories reminded me so much of when I was a kid and how much I loved having dogs that I was inspired and finally went out and got one. One thing I’ve learned is having a dog as an adult is very different then when I was a kid. But no less enjoyable.

The part about Jack “tricking” me at the pet store really is true. I never intended on getting a Jack Russell. Based on all the things I read, I was very hesitant about getting one. But at the pet store he was so sweet and cuddly and there was NO dog hair on my cloths! I thought to myself “Wow! A JRT that’s calm and affectionate and doesn’t shed! I got to get him!” Boy was I duped! He’s still pretty cute and very affectionate. But this dog sheds like crazy and is just a ball of energy! They must have clicked on his “GO” switch right before I left the store, because he hasn’t stopped since I brought him home. Every night at exactly 8:00PM he turns into what I call “RocketPuppy”. All you see is a brown and white blur zipping from room to room right up until bedtime!

Anyway, thanks again!
