Please meet...

...Russell.



Isn't he cute - and no, he is not mine.

The groom to be decided the bride to be (my niece) needed a dog to keep her company whilst he is away on his tour of duty. They have investigated possible 'failed' guide dogs, dogs for the deaf...retired police dogs, army dogs etc. and have had no success at all. Then I believe a friend saw a notice at the local vets asking for new homes for a couple of dogs (owners have both been made unemployed and tight finances meant they couldn't keep their dogs). My niece went along to see the dogs and fell in love with Russell.

He is such a sweetie - a Jack Russell cross - and he thinks he is a lot bigger than he is (he stood up to a German Shepherd the other day and the GS backed off).

Welcome to the family Russell, I know Kristy has already fallen in love with you..............
