Geocaching at San Leandro Marina

Scout and Abby, the Jack Russell Terriers, enjoy walking anywhere, anytime. Here they are at San Leandro Marina, Calif.

Bye, bye, Casey

Had to put Casey the Westie to sleep. The Vet and I agreed Casey was just too sick (diabetic, blind, deaf, not eating, miserable) to continue another day. She was a great dog. I miss her so much. My heart fills with grief whenever I think of her.

Rest in peace, my precious friend.

Geocaching sounds like fun

The terriers three (Casey the Westie, Scout and Abby the JRTs) and I think it would be fun to explore the concept of geocaching.

See geocaching.com

I'll keep you posted.

Miniature Dalmatian?

Scout (the Jack) is developing tan spots all over. At first glace, the spots appear to be ticking showing through his coat, but with closer inspection, you can see the coat has color pigmentation. He looks like a miniature Dalmatian.

Speaking of miniature, today, I threw a tennis ball at least a thousand times for Scout to fetch. He likes the little miniature size tennis balls--won't even look at a standard size. The game lasted for about three hours. I didn't get much exercise though. I was sitting, reading, and tossing the tennis ball between page-flips.

I'll have put an pedometer on him to find out how many miles he runs when playing fetch.

Snip, snip

Scout, the mighty Jack Russell Terrier, got his balls snipped today.

I worried about him all day.

However, Scout's got too many doggy girl friends to remain intact. His little nuggets had to go.

Trust me on this (else do your own research), there are already way more puppies available than there are good homes for them. While Scout is as cute, smart, and healthy as can be, in today's reality, I don't want him reproducing. So, at some calculated risk, he's been neutered.

The little guy is recovering nicely. He gobbled up his dinner and then curled up under his blanket to sleep. It's weird that he's not jumping all over me, begging for a game of fetch. I want his old self back!

Budding buddies

Finally, Casey (the Westie) let Scout (the Jack) lay his head on her to sleep.

Their relationship has always been amiable. They liked each other from day one, but until now, Casey wouldn't let Scout lay next to her. This as a positive step forward in their relationship. And it was so cute!
