   I heard that coprophagist’s rib cage was 15, maybe even 16 inches around.

     Bill, have you ever been bitten by a JR? It really hurts.

       Bitten, eh?

       Well what did YOU do to the dog???!!!

       Did is say that right? (not sure if that question applies to adults, or just small chilren) See, I am coming around to a more enlightend view on these things.

         That’s usually the best first question to ask after an incident Bill. Unless the dog is a Psychotic neurotic mess to begin with.

         My neighbor lost her Springer Spaniel when it was kill by two Jack Russels in a doggy daycare. I know, “Doggy Daycare” is for people who have more money than brains.

         But, it turns out the employees grouped the Springer in with the Jacks based on size. And the Jacks immediately went into terrier mode and dispatch with the springer.

         And obviously the dogs were left unsupervised. They threatened to sue but settled for a payout to recoup the cost of the Springer. Oh, Well.

           That’s sad. Too bad they didn’t group them based on temperament, as they should have. The Springer would have had a chance with dogs of similar behavior.

             As Liz pointed out….the employees aren’t always the best qualified to trust with such decisions. ;-)

         I tried to move him from the sofa. He’s a miserable old man, but I love him.

         The point I’m trying to make is that a JRT’s set of teeth are equivalent to those of a dog much larger.

         I wouldn’t mess with Willie.

   I really dot not know what Bill said
   above, but I am assuming it was an
   apology

     No.

     He called Willie a shit eater who is too big to fit down a groundhog hole.

   I really love jack russels.

   As an olive branch, if you have three minutes, watch this video of a jack russel saving his master’s ass from a charging, wounded cape buffalo:

   Its unreal. The Bwanas run away from the enraged animal, while the JRT runs in the exact opposite direction.

   Umm… Ok, suit yourself, but I think you’d really like that video, even if it was recommended by Hitler’s own Jagdterrier.
