Teka Made me Post this..

In addition to reading lots of notes from wirey friends and airedale friends, my husky friends and goldie friends, all my terrier friends and pittie friends, and all my assorted Mastiff, (Mango says we gotta capitalize that) Newfie, beagle, bassett and other friends - muzzer b'longs to a JRT group on Yahoo.

Someone posted this poem on that list, and we tracked it down so that we could give the correct author credit(?) for her work and devotion.

I think this fits Teka to a T! (hehehehe), she is not so sure, but she likes to listen when muzzer reads it to her.

I've also posted one of my favorite pictures of the scamp. I think it shows her true pawsonality.

The Jack Russell Terrier

Find me a Doberman, I'll cut him to size --
And tear him to pieces, in front of your eyes!

I'm cocksure and bossy, the King of the patch,
Bring on your Alsatian, it can't be a match!

I'm a dirty street fighter, my language is foul,
I'll fight to the death, never throw in the towel.

Don't step near my missus, don't push me too far,
Get right off my pavement, take your hands off my car.

And when she's alone, I sit on her knee,
She knows she's quite safe, relying on me.

Don't walk by my lorry, when I'm at a show,
When I'm guarding my ponies, I'm lethal you know.

I'll follow a fox, to the depths of his lair,
But I like creature comforts, get out of my chair!

I'll not walk at heel, or sit when I'm told,
But I'm loving, protective, brave, loyal and bold.

My life is full of the moment, importance and bustle,
I know I'm the greatest -- I'm called a Jack Russell.

-- Diana Langford, JRTC of GB

Have a great day

pee ess...Muzzer says someone once told her that a JRT is like a Wire on steroids. Think about it pals, you may understand more about what I have to put up with. GMAN
