They have the cutest dog, Boss. He is a Jack Russel mix. Since the new baby they just don't have the time to spend with him like they should. Plus he has very sensitive skin and a flea problem they just can't get under control my sister feels like she just can't handle it anymore. He is pretty well behaved for a 1 1/2 old guy. He is crate trained and even opens it himself to go in when they tell him to go in there. I feel bad for the poor guy. I can't tell he just wants play when I go over there. He is good with cats to! My sis has a 8 yr old calico girl and he doesn't bother her at all. She is going to talk wih her husband I am going to talk with Lee and we will see how it turns out.

That would nice to have while Lee is away! Jacks are awesome little dogs, but they can be a handful too! My parents have a girlie named Wishbone
yeah I know, original, huh?
She is a super dog, but boy does she have an ornery streak

Boss is a sweetie! Only thing is they haven't had him neutered yet (her husband say he will lose his manhood whatever). I will have him neutered for sure!! He is so high energy and will have tons of room to run at my place so that is a definate plus since they have such a tiny yard.

Wishbone is a cute name. Boss isn't so original either!!

I have a rat terrier and they are very similar to jacks and they are very high energy but they are very sweet dogs and oh so loving. Just remember to walk him and play with him lots.

The cats house, we just pay the mortgage..
Brandi, how exciting! It's good that they can admit they don't have the time for him rather than let him get disruptive and miserable

I know you would give him a good home, and good for you by deciding to get him neutered
