When the unexpected happens in life......

[{97702}]

A year ago today the small fiesty one joined me. I didn’t even like terriers, I was genuinely going to pass him on to a good home who wanted him......

I adore him more than words can ever say.....

He's a lovely little chap. Some dogs just have that extra "something." Like you I'm a greyhound person through and through. About 10 years ago my mum got a rescue Jack Russell (he sadly had to be pts at about 6 - due to a brain tumour). ? We went to meet him at the kennels as he sounded suitable, though we weren't too sure about a JRT having met a few yappy, snappy ones! He was an absolute darling, and if my mum hadn't had him, I'd have been very tempted to take him home. He was one of the loveliest dogs I've ever known, a very affectionate, lovely little character, and I was heartbroken when he was diagnosed and pts. Sometimes a dog comes along that you'd never think would be your cup of tea, but quickly steals your heart.

Happy ownerversary! They really are the best little characters and weedle their way right into your heart before you know it.

Gosh, that year has flown by. He is gorgeous - we can tell you are besotted!

Did a search for Happy ownerversary photo, and for some reason most of the answers where different photo versions of Ryan Reynolds, celebrating his ownerversary of AviationGin.
So, sorry for this a very random photo, Happy Ownerversary!

I am thrilled that you have have fallen for him. And at the time I was just so glad and relieved, as the whole situation with him had just become incredibly stressful, while I was also struggling with various things including, if I admit it now, poor mental health. George isn’t perfect but he certainly didn’t deserve being turfed out to fend for himself by his old owners; and although I couldn’t manage him myself, by the power of this forum he’s found his happy ending ?
And now you’re addicted to terriers ? even better! Happy ownerversary ?

I can admit that he did celebrate his anniversary by throwing up on my bed at 3am ??? Luckily it was relatively easy to deal with (I was still in half-asleep automatic pilot mode) and I just love changing bed sheets at that time in the morning ?

It’s a good job I do adore him ???

Poor George, I hope he isn't sick, and that he feels better now.



I admire your ability to change bed sheets in the middle of the night. Personally, I'm more of a push sheets down on the floor, grab blanket, and wrap myself in said blanket-type of person. If needed, add a towel over any wet spots.

Who would have guessed how besotted you would become! They just steal your heart away best best dogs. Happy 1st year George!

I CANNOT believe it has been a year since you adopted him!! Im like you except Im a confirmed spaniel person, but our particular little terrierist arrived via my best buddy at our yard who has his mum. She is just the most adorable little bundle of fluff with the sweetest nature of any dog Ive ever met and fortunately, he takes after her 100%. Im not sure I would risk another as I wouldnt want to push my luck a second time but I have never regretted taking on HRH as he is affectionately known!!

Happy anniversary! George is gorgeous!

I’ve only had one JRT - a rescue bitch called Mandy who appeared to have been debarked. She showed her love for me by secreting things she rated in my bed or under my pillow like a manky pigeon wing or rabbit leg. It was years before I got out of the habit of checking my bed before I got in ?
