How I Arrived To My Family:
When I lived in England I found a Jack Russell terrier. I knew who it belonged to, but the owner was in the states, and was left with no one to look after him. I knew his name was Fraiser, so I looked after him. I fell in love with him and was heart broken when his owner came to retrieve him. Shortly after that we moved back to the states to Phoenix. Ever since then I have always wanted a Jack russell, but my Dad believed that one dog was enough. 5 years passed and I still wanted a Jack russell, so I asked for one for my 16th birthday. My parents were sceptical because they thought a puppy was a big responsibility. A month before my birthday I found a chihuahua/corgi mix puppy and we kept it for 5 days, all the while trying to find it's home. On the 5th day his owner's called and we dropped Dodger off at his home. When we were driving back home my dad said, "It's a good thing you still have some of that puppy food because we are going to need it!" I was so excited! After that I found a Jack Russell terrier shortie breeder in scottsdale and we called them up to see if they had any male puppies available. To our surprise they just had a litter born a few days ago with 2 puppies, 1 girl and 1 boy. When the puppy was 3 weeks old we went to visit him. I fell in love with him when I held him and he suckled on my finger. My parents filled out the paper work, and we saw him every week until he turned 8 weeks old. We picked him up a week after my birthday. He was so cute in the car on the way home. We stopped at the Central credit union and I got to bring him inside. He slept on my lap while we were waiting. When we got home that night I had a blast with him. We went for a nice long walk, played with some squeaky toys, and when it got late we hopped on my bed and he curled up on my chest and fell asleep.
