Melvin Goldsmith Report post Posted May 8, 2010 She's been with us two weeks now and is a 9.5 weeks old Jack Russell from a working litter. Full of beans but a real nice personable little character. She's doing a lot of sleeping and growing but in between likes to re arrange my off cuts and shavings. She's taken a liking to being in the workshop and I'm rather happy with that.

skiingfiddler Report post Posted May 9, 2010 Our neighbor has a Jack Russell. Judging from the amount of activity the dog evokes, a Jack Russell is a very good example of a working dog, that is, generating work for the owner in finding outlets for all the dog's energy. It's a very endearing dog. Have fun. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hi Skiingfiddler...Hehe!..Yes that's a very well observed description of a Jack Russell. ..there is a saying that you can never tire these dogs out because they don't get tired, they just get fitter!....Thanks for your good wishes.

Dwight Brown Report post Posted May 9, 2010 His tail kind of looks like scroll. Did you give her a violin name? My picture is with my cat Willy, he is an opera singer - Klingon Opera! Dwight Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I remember when my Airedale was that small. Just remember to have lots o fun with them now so the "accidental antiquing" isn't so hard to stomach. Any way seriously shes a beauty.

martina hawe Report post Posted May 9, 2010 Hi Melvin very sweet!!! Looks like she´s having a good time chewing on woodshavings. Is she really tiny or is it a monster-shaving in the 3rd picture? Enjoy the walks! Martina Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We have a cocker spaniel for 7 years. Once, ignorently I left knife blades reachable, and he played with them, cuttings were minor but it was good learning lesson. No more shop visiting so far.

Pebbles Report post Posted May 9, 2010 Always good to see a fellow Luthier canine Dust to get into, shavings to chew on, and a comfy bed to snooze on. Woof! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Maestrolover Report post Posted May 9, 2010 What a gorgeous puppy, she looks a real character, that tail will have to inspire some scrolls! One thing you can be sure about now is that there will never, ever be any rodents lurking in your workshop. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

robedney Report post Posted May 10, 2010 How's his pitch? Duets might be fun. Seriously, nothing beats a dog. We've a new puppy (to us) from a shelter, just under a year black lab mix. He's the most vocal dog I've ever had, and I suspect he could sing (if you don't think dogs can sing -- or talk -- just search Youtube for singing/talking dog).
