Question:

It is so much fun reading the posts from all of us JRT owners! I had to chuckle at the ones that refer to JRT's as smart dogs. I truely beleive they (or at least ours) is very intelligent.
One of Gus' favorite toys is his Kong. For the last few months, right after my husband and I finish dinner, he finds his kong, drops it in front of my husband and waits patiently for his nightly peanut butter snack. If it's a night that we skip dinner, he will go to the kong right a 7pm and toss it at my husband! We think this is so cute!! And he sits in the middle of the living room floor and waits to have his kong brought to him! LOL!
What great dogs these little ones are! We are thinking of getting a female partner for our (fixed) make-but not sure if we can have enough love to go around for another one!
