Jack
Over the Rainbow Bridge
Chapter 6 - The further Adventures of Jumping JACK Flash! So then, a visit to the annual dog show today and I've learned that Jack can leap like a an Olypmic High Jump champion - it's as if he's got a pogo stick strapped to each leg! I'm sure he was just showing off for the rest of the greys that were surrounding him - or challenging them to jump higher. This could be a useful trait to have in a dog, if he goes any higher, I'll stick a cloth in his mouth and he can clean the outside upstairs windows while he's at it. He went to the kennels yesterday for his first bath and despite warnings from Fiona that he'd 'hate it', he just stood there and was utterly and totally chilled - as if he were attending a doggy spa day. He didn't think much of the hair dryer though - probably because when it was switched on, the blast was so powerful, it nearly knocked him over. He's taken a very keen interest in squirrels. When I let him into the garden, he just stands to attention with his ears pricked - watching and waiting. Depsite my best efforts to tell him that they don't just show up on demand, he'll continue to stare at the fence 'thinking' one will show up for his convenience. Recent new likes: Ruth's liver cake (loves this) His new (ever so slightly) blingy I.d. tag The new sofa AND both armchairs (loves those) Laughing Cow cheese triangles (it's Jack who laughs when he's eating them - not the cow) Corned beef Having his teeth brushed (at last) Being brushed Being kissed, cuddled and hugged until he's gasping for breath SQUIRRELS A rediscovered love for his Kong (with the previously mentioned Laughing Cow and bits of ham stuffed into it) Watching 'Have I got News For You (this is a cultured dog) Recent dislikes: Joggers ITV (he's a BBC man) Squirrels (the same reasons mentioned above - they wind him up) Being removed from aforementioned sofa so I can sit down Wearing his Blizzard (he thinks it's a little too camp) Paperback books (he doesn't like the taste but they give his jaw bones a good workout) I love Jack to pieces and I haven't met anyone yet who doesn't. The feeling you get when you get home from work and he jumps up and puts his front legs on your shoulders can't be put into words. He's my pal, my housemate and my own personal comedian . . . . . . . . . . . and he still sleeps more than I ever thought possible!

Jack
Over the Rainbow Bridge
Jack has just got back from the Annual Dog show and he loved every minute and was so well behaved. He saw a load of his kennel pals and was on his best behaviour (obviously trying to impress the 'Best Black Dog' judge, but failed miserably)! When he was in ring 4 though, the judge kept squeaking a toy and Jack jumped up - all 4 legs off the ground to a height of about 4-5ft - as if he was on a trampoline. I though for a moment that I had a Gazelle in disguise on my hands. To console him in his disappointment for not coming home sprorting a rosette, he's now sporting a sparkly new diamond i.d. tag instead. He thinks this looks a lot cooler than a rosette but now he has a little bling, he's acting like he belongs to Jay-Z or someone like that - he'll be wanting dental implants next! He also met his old trainer Tracey and recognised her straight away which was really lovely to see. I now have a problem . . . . . . Jack tasted some of Ruth's liver cake and he nearly took my arm off when he'd got a nostril full of the treat. Of course, that meant I had to come home with 3 bags! Can you please let me have the recipe? A great day out Ruth and well done to all involved and I hope you raise oodles of cash to provide these beautiful animals with the lifestyle they so richly deserve.

I brought Mitzi home with me last night as she was laying on the floor in her kennel as I was locking up and I couldn't leave her, especially being one day post op. She has been really good - a couple of accidents which is only to be expected but is getting on really well with mine and very happy to be on her own also. She will make someone a really great pet - especially for first time owners I think.
