I am sooo very pleased to introduce Parker!! He was 7 weeks old when we picked him up (March 1st), and he is just perfect!! He sleeps through the night (only gets up when I do to go potty! LOL!) The other 2 dogs have accepted him better than we had hoped - but the cat is PISSED!! LOL! His Daddy is all of 11 lbs and 10 inches tall (at the shoulders), and his momma is 18 lbs and 10 inches tall - they are all known as "shorty Jacks" as they are a bit shorter than most Jack Russell terriers - but don't let their size fool you!! LOL Every ounce is pure energy! And for that reason alone, they are not good pets for everyone, since you must keep them busy, or they become problems. But, for me, that's why I love them - they keep me busy, and their intelligence is something that I absolutely love. And thank you to all who help me celebrate my new baby!!!

Look at that gorgeous baby!!! Oh, I just want to cuddle him!!! Our dog is still technically a puppy, but he only wants to cuddle a few times a day now... he just wants to play and chew on things. Enjoy this sweet time, and POST MORE PICS! Lol!

I have more pics!! LOL! It's easiest to get pics of him when he's holding still - the only time that happens is when he's asleep! LOL! Here he is with our older Jack Russell, who is now 14 years old. She is VERY tolerant of him!! LOL!

He's keeping me busy! Lol! We realized quickly that, even though we live out in the boonies, we HAD to have a fenced back yard now. So we built a chain link fence around our little back yard. (Whew! I hope I dont have to do much more of that!) But, this little stinker has definitely stolen my heart. Even though I do believe I've met my match with him! Ha ha ha! This is one ORNERY puppy! It's also really hard to get a picture of him when he's not asleep! Lol! Thats the only time he holds still for long.

Well, he's big enough now that he just got his first rabies shot and tag!! Woo hoo!! Now he can chomp on his own tag, instead of the ones the other two dogs wear!! LOL! He's up to 9 lbs now!! He won't get over 20 - unless he gets FAT!!! And, he's got about 2 - 3 more inches in height to gain, but that's all!!
And I'm soooo in love!! He's been bonding with hubby lately now too!! Hubby is the only one that is allowed to brush his teeth each night right now! LOL!

Well, I'm ruined. Lol. He has totally taken over my life now. I'm planning herb walks with him and so much more! 😆
Hes SUCH a little lover too! Not at all aloof like our female! The funny thing is, we bought him to be my dog, but he's determined there WILL be certain times where it's JUST daddy and him! Ha ha ha! So Parker has stolen my hubbys heart too!
The sad news is that our female Jack Russell is really showing her age now. Shes not tokerating what heat we have already, so this summer will be tough for her. She's such an outdoor dog. But, shes had 14.5 years with us, and she's traveled through nearly every state in the continental U.S.! She's been a real joy (and experience! 😆) to have with us.
And its all her fault I got Parker! 😆 😆 😆
