We never had dogs at my house when I was a child. I never particularly wanted a dog. We always had a Cat. Dog's seemed like a lot of work to me (and they are) When my children wanted a dog we always said 'No" we tried Rabbits for awhile. We loved those Lop Eared gentle little Bunnies but they did not live for very long. Then we got a Cat. Kooter lived 20 years, the kids grew up got married and left home, and I had Kooter all to myself for a long time.
Then came the Grand Dogs First Jackson and then Isabella to keep Jackson company. I must admit they are a lot of fun, energetic (Wow I'll say!!) Loving and Loyal, always ready to play. Jackson has boundless energy and will chase a ball for as long as you want throw it. Isabella is a little quieter but loves to hunt for food. I get to take care of them overnight often. I must admit Jack Russell Terriers are now my favorite dog's. If you want someone who is alway's overjoyed to see you a dog is the pet to get.
