Hello everyone! It's Runtly, the ever so entertaining Jack Russell Terrier! JRT for short! Mom says since everyone has lost their marbles, I should share a few thoughts of my own. My first thought is what are marbles and if everyone has lost them, shouldn't they be easy to find? I need to remember to ask Mom if I have any, they sound kinda fun.
My Momma came to visit! Twice! I just love it when she stays here with us. I don't think Momma feels the same way though. The first time her peeps dropped her off, she stood in the window and cried as they drove down the driveway. Momma is really nervous, she has a hard time relaxing when she is away from her home. I know how she feels, I don't really like to stay at her house either. But, I did my best to try and cheer her up!
We spent a lot of time outside and Momma got to meet Max and Dumbo. They are giant German shepherds. Dumbo isn't the right name, his name is Thor. I call him Dumbo and I'll tell more about him later. Momma is so brave when Max and Thor (Dumbo) come over. She stands up on her hind legs and looks them right in the eye! That makes her look like she is as big as they are! At least, that is what she told me. I think it works too 'cause they think she is pretty cool.
Momma and I sang the song of our people about a hundred times. It's the only time I will howl. Momma sings high and I sing low and it sounds amazing! We have two windows that look out at the front yard. Momma gets in one and I get in the other. Then we look for something to bark about. It doesn't have to be much. I can bark at the air. When we find something and start barking, Momma begins to howl first and then I join in. It's a wonderful sound! Usually, somebody has to make us quit. We just can't help it.
Mom says calling Thor Dumbo is not very nice. Well, it's not very nice that he takes my toys! If I leave anything that is mine, in MY yard, Dumbo takes it! I have lost count the amount of times that I found one of my toys in his yard. But, rest assured, I bring it back to my house every time! In fact, the other day I was in their yard and found a great big bone. Yes, yes I did. I packed that thing home and chewed, licked and slobbered on it all day. I even took it in the house. When Max and Thor D came over later, I went in the house and brought the bone out to show them "who's da boss?". Mom said I was being an instigator. Heh, heh, heh, Mom mighta been right. Almost everyday, Thor D comes over and gets on the back deck and looks through the glass in the door. That makes me hoppin' mad and I give him the what for. I jump, bark and snarl at him and even show him the hair standing up on my back. Every time I jump, he shows me his teeth......what a dumbo.
I sure like all the crackling leaves on the ground. Especially the ones in the woods. They are really deep and make a great place to do what Dad calls 'donuts'. The four legged kick is most impressive when I'm chest deep in leaves too.
I had to go outside a bit ago. While I was out there I had to bark so Max and Thor D knew I was out. It always works like a charm. So, I thought I would show them my bouncing expertise in the tall grass, across the road, in the meadow. Once I knew I had their attention, I then calculated my escape route back to the house. They like to chase me when I go fast. I took off like a streak of lightning and just as I got up to speed, I fell in a hole. It made me do a complete somersault. How embarrassing. I heard Dumbo snickering as I composed myself and trotted back to the house.
Time to plan my revenge. Woof!
