MemberHey, new here. I’m Ruby and this is Tessie, a Lucas Terrier x Norfolk. Would you believe this girl is 13? Yeah, hard to believe I know – even harder when she acts like a 3yr old XD
She’s a working dog for the most part, kills her fair share of mice, rats and rabbits (and a few moles too) but she’s also a pampered pooch who loves nothing more than being a professional lapdog. Her favourite toy is…well, anything with a squeaker in it! She’s also a wonderful cat deterrent, never catches them though thankfully. (I don’t trust cats, not one bit.) She’s also in need of a haircut, bath and stripping (all of which I do by hand) ; she tends to get greasy if she’s not washed for a few weeks and grease attracts the dirt and she just becomes filthy.
I used to have another dog, Mickey, who was a Jack Russel. Unfortunatly, he had to be put down in September 07 because he just wouldn’t let go :'( It broke my heart, he had been my best friend since I was a toddler and we grew up (and he grew old) together. He was 19, I was 20. He had a mental disorder that was a lot like altsheimers and one of his back legs didn’t work. He was happy soul though. It still hurts.
I’m also now looking forward towards getting a new dog soon. I’m looking towards the hound breeds but I’m not against the gundog breeds (or anything as long as it’s not a terrier XD). I’m not sure I want another rescue dog, seeing as I recently had an unwanted dog thrown upon me (a wonderful Samoyed called Gemma who was a blind diabetic), that and I don’t think Tessie would take to a fully grown dog :/
Ah, such a dilemma! ::)

MemberHello and welcome 🙂 I can’t believe Mickey was 19, wow!!! 😮
May 3, 2009 at 10:25 pm #105854MemberThanks 🙂 Yeah, Mickey was a trooper and I’m sure he’d still be here today if we hadn’t had him put to sleep. He was that much of a stubborn mule. He just didn’t want to let go lol 😀

MemberHi and welcome from me, Dodger and Benji (my JRT)
Mickey was gorgeous and did well to get to 19 :yes:
Tessie is lovely too and good luck with the search for another dog 🙂
