My 2 year old JRT x FT Wibble never fails to amuse me.

Friday night, put him out for him night time wee before bed, and he sat by the back door just waiting to come in. I ignored him and left him a good 5 minutes, but he didn't budge. Gave in and let him in, and as he hopped over the door ledge, he was on 3 legs, COMPLETELY crippled, looking really sorry for himself! Tried to ice pack his leg (although there was no heat or swelling) but he was having none of it! So put him to bed in his crate, keeping him as quiet as possible.

Saturday morning, up early (as was off to Draycott BE!) and was hoping he'd be OK, no - even more crippled than the night before! I didn't have time to take him to the vets as I had to go get the ponio ready for his comp! So phoned my mum and told her to go to mine and take him to the vets! She rang me about 45 minutes later to say she'd got to mine, got him out the cage and he was completely fine. GRRRR. So she took him to hers for the day to keep an eye on him!

This isn't the first time he's done this. Another time I had another comp to go to for the day, and I came downstairs in the morning to find Wibble with a really puffy gooey eye that had swollen LOADS. :eek: ARGH! Same thing, phoned the mother and told her to take him to the vets. When she got to mine, he was completely fine!


So question is - does your dog do this? Do they know you're going out for the day, and try and think of a way to make you stay? LOL! :rolleyes:
 
Lovely chap :D and great name!

DD, lots of JRTs suffer from luxating patella/slipping kneecaps which causes them to hop/skip/jump in that distinctive way. Not going to diagnose the OP's dog over the interwebs though :p

I have to watch mine like a hawk cause he's the kind of dog that will wreck himself doing something stupid a day before a competition/training weekend etc!!
 
Yes, the name is definitely unique! Don't know another Wibble anywhere! EllenJay - he is lovely, slightly nutty - but lovely :) thinks he's a lap dog, and actually, he's a bit too big for a lap, but he tries anyway :)
He's a super lean mean flyball machine! :D

Must admit, Wibble hasn't adopted the 3 legged terrier walk! Although he DEFINITELY has the terrier scream whenever a cat is in the visible vascinity!

He's a little corker - is he a Parson? Gorgeous name, very apt - he looks like a real character!

Noooooo, not a Parson! EVERYONE says that! lol! He is very well trained and obedient, but also a complete fruit loop :) does laps of the garden, in the kitchen, through the living room, under the coffee table, up the stairs, on my bed, down the stairs, under the coffee table, through the kitchen and back out in the garden. He will literally do it for HOURS! :eek:

he's a jack russell x fox terrier :)

I meant it as a compliment, I adore Parsons, but even better is a JRT X FT! 2delightful breeds :D
 
Are you sure it was Wibble doing such a devious thing?
Looking at his cute photo, butter wouldn't melt in his mouth.......

I have a JRT and a JRT X Dachsund. They are the most intelligent mammals living at this address.

Came home from work one day to this carnage. I kid you not, he was just sat there, in that exact position as I opened the kitchen door!
