Jack
Over the Rainbow Bridge
Chapter 7 - The Adventures of Captain Jack Sparrow Why the name? - because this dog of mine has turned into a thieving pirate! Despite having a chewy treat in the morning, during the day and in the evening as a dinner dessert, Jack has now figured out how to get his snout under the lid of the kitchen bin. I actually think this was a problem until Clare and my son both informed me that he secretly got hold of a couple of carrier bags and ripped them open and empted the contents all over his lounge! I must admit to laughing my head off when I found out. I'm not sure whether it's inquisitive playfulness, greed or hunger. I've also noticed out on walks lately that he's constantly trying to sniff out something interesting to get his teeth into. I don't think it's hunger - Jack is now around 30kg's but looking very svelte and handsome with it. Owing to his plundering ways, I've decided it's only proper to deck Jack out with a skull & crossbones collar to befit his new status as a master thief! Jack has also attended training on 4 seperate occasions now and whilst he tries to maintain interest, he mostly sleeps through the whole process. He does love to attend though and he loves meeting the other greys. He never becomes aggressive, he just nonchalantly acknowledges them and goes back to sleep. He did get the hump with me recently when I gave my 2-piece suite to my daughter - Jack was aghast that he had go back to the duvet on the floor. In the end, I had to buy him his own sofa just to stop him giving me dirty looks. I'm continuing to let him off his lead in the disused tennis courts in Kings Heath park and he absolutely adores this. I think he thinks he's back on the track because he now runs in circles - once he's done a couple of circuits, he's knackered! Jack continues to develop his character and his bladder control is almost bordering on superhuman. I had to stay away on business for one night recently and I think I suffered greater seperation anxiety than Jack did. He continues to make me smile and laugh in equal measure and he's living out his retirement that way he wants to - by sleeping, being a mischeivous git and being being loved by all that meet him and look after him.

This seems to be unfortunately quite common - dogs discarded when a baby comes along. It must be terrribly distressing for the dog as well as totally unfair. Even if circumstances change a dog is as much part of the family as anyone else and deserve to be treated much better than this. I could never imagine anything usurping our two greyhound girls in this way - they're just as valuable as members of the family as people as far as we're concerned and I agree with the comments below; dogs should absolutely be for life, not just until something "better" comes along. I've no doubt someone will step forward and give this lovely girl a home soon.
