A New Friend at our House.........

Well...more action at the Schroeder House for sure...Kati Jo, bless her little heart, fell in love with this little guy online and decided to adopt him. He is a cute little stinker, 1 year old Jack Russell Terrier named, yes you guessed, Jack. He is a good dog, if it wasn't for one thing...we already have a dog named Mockey, shelty mix, 17yrs old and very territorial. (of course this has been his territory and his alone for 17yrs..go figure LOL) Jack being a pup and Mockey being an old "grandpa" had to have some time to "work out" their feelings so to speak. They are actually doing pretty good, but it is a work in progress for the both of them. Jack just wants to PLAY....what can you expect from a 1yr old Jack Russell Terrier...hugh...sooo...Monday, Max was at my house and we "worked" on getting these two canines to be friends...."let's all be friends"....some success after a longggggg day. Max and I played outside for about 2 1/2 hours with Jack while Mockey slept or sulked on the deck....the two kind of "had it out" so to speak and Mockey let Jack know his place with a nip or two...I'm happy to say as of tonight....da da da daaaaaaa "they are tolerating" each other!!!! Now, this doesn't mean everything is totally hunky dory or anything, but it is progress and that is a step in the right direction!!! We'll keep you posted as to our Mockey vs Jack...aka "The Young and the Restless Canines" ...... stay tuned..............



These are pictures of Max and Jack playing with sticks....tug of war between to fine contenders for sure.....the intense looks, the tugs, the sure strength of hands and teeth.....it was quite a day leading to Max Hiding all the sticks he could find so that Jack wouldn't chew them before he came back to Grandma Lu's.....what a pair!!
