The Warmth Behind Our Knees

Once again, thanks. He was our first dog, and we chose a Jack Russell because they are fearless. We didn't realise how headstrong they could be, and if it hadn't been for Rachel(Schatzi's mum) and Leonie at dog training, we would have been in a lot of trouble. But as often happens, the more trouble they are, the more you love them. At nearly 10 he was pretty much perfect. He was so well behaved and was so in tune with Wayne and I. His downside, and the one thing we could not train him out of, or control, was his snake attacking. We snake proofed his yard as much as possible, and had a small yard from the doggy door if he alerted us to one outside the yard, but this time there was no alert, and no noise, or Kira would have heard it. There was no warning, nothing. It was one of those things that happen, and we always knew this would be his fate- I dreamed of it all the time, but still, when the time is right, we will choose another Jack Russelol. Gluttons for punishment I guess!

Well, another "first" to cope with. My first "Mothers Day" without my boy jumping all over me and shoving a special toy in my face, as he escorted my husband and the breakfast in bed I have had for the previous 10 years. This year it was just Kira and me, as Wayne is away, so it is very sad.

Two months ago today, my world was rocked, and I still am not coping well, but one foot in front of the other, and maybe soon it will get a little better. I hope so, I miss my "crazy dog" like crazy.
