We have a Parson Russell Terrier. Same as a Jack, but long legged. She is a scrappy, bright, energetic bundle of joy. She doesn’t watch TV, but would rather be stealing socks from the dirty laundry, digging holes in the yard, or playing fetch, her favorite game.
Cali is a laundry thief also and loves chasing rabbits in our yard. I have never seen a dog who loves to jump up and down as much as Cali.
Our son Brian has a Parsons Jack Russell Terrier named Finnegan who displays all the frantic comedy of the breed. They have moved five-thousand miles away and, when we visit, Brian says, “My parents miss the dog more than they do me.” He jests and it’s not true but…….heh heh, cute doggie.
“the frantic comedy of the breed”
Oh, how that phrase fits our Cali!
