Re: Jack Miniature Jack Russell 1-2 yrs Guildford Surrey
An update from Jack’s foster home:
Quote:
Little tinker has come on so well and has had a "testing" couple of weeks coming to work and meeting new people and dogs. Pics above show him comfortable and more relaxed with other dogs. He has got to know new people that have been very considerate to him and taken the long toll of saying ‘hello’ briefly then ignoring him and over time they now get a greeting of ‘hello I remember you’ and he is very happy to have a good fuss. Today, Gary, my work colleagues Hubby even got kisses on his face. Gary got the growl treatment to start with and now Jack rushes over to see him when he comes into the Parlour - Jacks new best mate. I was thrilled. He is a nervous little boy, and people need to be aware of this and not rush intros. He is so appealing being tiny and fluffy but if you rush him he will growl and have a snap, but saying this ,he hates to even growl and will turn his head away and try and be invisible and come over to me for reassurance. Today he meet 4 new dogs at work - Saluki, 2 Terrier Mix - small and med sized and a Dach. Girls and Boys and he did so well. He mixed with them all and even fell in love with one of the little Terriers who did tell him off a couple of times which he took gracefully. He loves his walks, but is not a marathon man. Does get worried by cars and lorries because of his nervous nature, but has got better. On our walks if they are too long for his little legs the worse thing that happens is he stops looks up at me which means pick me up I need a rest and at 4.35 kilos I can live with that. He loves the garden to have a good run about in.
We think he's a smashing little fella. Very sad for him that the right family haven't found him yet. Such a great companion for someone and although he's a little chap, has a huge heart that will love you forever.
I wondered where the little man was, and then Summer said, he's here mummy....
