Dear Crossingpaths:
Cleaning out a closet I found your information on "Jackie." I had never read it. She was fostered by you on 4/11/09. She is a female, Jack Russell Terrier/Mix, white/tan/medium. She came from Crossing Paths Animal Rescue, Locust Fork, Alabama. We got her at Dakin Pioneer Valley Humane Society, Leverett , MA.
We have had Jackie, I believe since 5/09. My husband trained dogs in the military and had dogs all of his life on his folk's farm. I never had a dog.
Our only daughter went off to college and my husband comes home with Jackie. I was not happy at the time. It took less than 24 hrs. for me to become enamored with Jackie. Jackie is so special. We adore her. She is so loving and craves and gives us affection. She has a great life with us.
She has the run of the house. She jumps from the sofa unto the dining room table. She sleeps in all of our beds. She can be wherever she wants to be in the house.
We have 3 female cats. You can find the 3 cats and the dog on one bed after they all have eaten. Each has their own corner.
We have a big yard. It is not fenced in. We put on a really really long leash and she truly enjoys her time outside. One of us usually stays outside with her or peeks out the window to make sure she is ok, since she can get tangled up in the trees or whatever.
Whomever comes to visit, Jackie greets them and if we are at the dining room table she just sits under the table, happy as can be.
She loves to eat, and is getting fat. She loves people food more than dog food. She gets regular veterinary care and anything we notice that is abnormal we bring her in. She has been very healthy.
If someone breaks into the house she will just be nice to them, so an attack dog she is not.
In the beginning while sleeping she would have nightmares and she would wimper loudly and shake. I would bring her to bed with me and I would talk to her and it would stop. I would stroke her and tell her that she was safe. That rarely happens now, once in awhile.
Jackie knows that we are devoted to her. We love her, what else is there to say.
My husband is a retired landscaper from the University of Massachusetts Amherst. I retired as a Nurse after open heart surgery, and volunteer as a Christian Minister.
I know you will be happy to know that Jackie is living the good life.
All Blessings,
