Tessa tries so hard to get the cats to run (3 Maine Coons at about 18-20lbs each). They just look at her like she's nuts.
She got loose one day and got into the horse paddocks. I was screaming, horses were bucking and she was mystified at the uproar.
Susie just doesn't fit the picture of my reading about Jack Russells. If the horses get to running she takes off for the house immediatly with her tail tucked:) She's really turned out to be just the kind of dog I wanted, but from what I have read and what people who have seen her say, she doesn't fit the norm.
I was told JR's were not good around kids. So far, although I'm very careful about it, she has never once been aggressive to any kid. JP, my grandson, has gotten hold of her too a few times, when they have both been in my lap at the same time. She just always wants' to lick him right in the face.

Oh, she does get pretty aggressive with the cat. And I've pulled her off him before. But then the stupid cat comes back and gets her going again. I think he actually likes playing with her. Funny thing is, when he gets in a postion to have the upper hand, and goes to slapping at her, she tucks her tail and come climbs up in my lap.
Becky
Well ladies, I think I'll go saddle a horse. Mack is being slow about getting the book work ready he want's me to do. I'm not going to waste this beautiful day sitting here.
See you in a bit.

Crazy little guys... tenacious. Friend had a Scottie dog, was the same way. Used to run out and bark at the horses, oblivious to calls for her to come back. The horses pretty much ignored her until Taffy's baby was born (the paint mare and foal you have seen in pictures of me). Taffy stomped that little dog hard, she ran off, we had to rush the dog to the vet bleeding with her scalp split pretty bad. They stitched her up and bandaged her up, and I'll be darned if she didn't run out there again the next day with the bandages still on!... They gave her away to her mother who lives safely in town ;~D
