Torey was a Rescue from a Shelter.
Her mama was a Jack Russell, and her daddy was a “handsome Stranger”, probably a Border Collie..
Ergo, as a pup, Torey was already a 45 pound Jack-Russell with the Cognitive Genius and Powerful Strength and Size of a Border Collie.
But the Insane Craziness of the Jack Russell.
She had been my Buddy for 14 years, through through thick and thin, through my move across the country, through Hurricane Katrina, Rita, and Wilma, and the resulting months afterward, through career changes, there was always Torey The Dog, Till last month.
LOL, “her daddy was a handsome stranger”!
Double LOL “cognitive genius”!
Aw, what a sweet story of your beloved Torey, I am glad I was nosey and asked.
I have a cousin who has had 2 Jack Russells and “insane craziness” describes their second one. The first was not as energetic after puppyhood was over, but the second one ate their couch one day and is still a nut to this day.
14 years is a long time. That is the same time we had with our first doberman Hans. They hardly ever get that old.
I hope you are doing OK after losing Torey. Bless your heart for rescuing her. What a long happy life she had with you.
