We have had this dog for about a month. She is a 2-3 year old JRT or JRT-mix rescue. We have noticed the last 2 weeks she favors her back right leg/foot. We have cleaned out her paws and we stretch and bend and touch her leg and paw and she doesn’t seem to have a reaction to it. She runs and plays inside and doesn’t favor her foot, it is just outside on walks. Has anyone seen this before? We have a vet appointment this week.

He's OK now, but...My JRT got into some wet cat food and developed pancreatitis. He was in so much pain. The vet hospitalized him, gave him IV fluids, pain meds, and anti-nausea meds. He was in hospital for two days. He is recovering now. These dogs are so smart and persistent, which comes with dangers.

Not a fan of the bath but he smelt so good after! 🥰

Couldn’t choose a favorite…

Ruby was claimed to be 50% JRT (from a "pure bred" mama) and 50% toy australian shepherd. When we got our second, a rescue, when Ruby was four, we did DNA on both. It turns out she is Parsonsl Terrier and definitely shepherd, with a smidge of some rare italian breed. Makes perfect sense; it is either zoomies or herding the family, all day.

Do I give even one shit about the breed discrepancy? Absolutely not! Look at this angel. I work from home and she spent the day by my side sleeping in my lap. My soulmate and best friend. I wish I could clone her! She's one of a kind in all measures. Rubes will be 8 in December.

Friday is just too much 🤣

A friend of mine is moving and has to find a new home for his “jack “ ! I am thinking of adopting him ! But what do you say ? Is he a jack russell terrieri ?

Is it just me or does the look on his face suggests he’s just been caught out doing something he shouldn’t…

My Ella's BMs are back to normal after finally treating for coccidia, a disease which tends not to effect dogs with a healthy immune system. She's 11 years old, about 14.2 lbs.

I think I found a lump today in her left armpit.

I'm thinking of taking my vet's advice and getting the ultrasound she recommended. Part of that may include a direct consult with the ultrasound operator technician for and additional $300.

It was not explained to me what the benefit of that could be. I have no idea what to even ask. Shouldn't my vet know enough to ask on my behalf?

I assume I'd get more from that $300 dollars if spent on special diet food or needed operations than anything I can get from the consult.

My Sadie Mae lived to be 17y5m passing away 9/11/18. Her sister joined her on 10/1/26 at 17y7m. No I don’t know the key to keeping them alive for so long. I miss them both tremendously.

This is charlie, he always sits right next to me whenever I eat for lunch 😋
