In the Beginning.

I have 3 JRT at home, namely Summer, Sporty and Jam. Jam is the offspring of Summer and Sporty. How it started...

5 years back, my brother received a Jack Russell, Summer for his birthday. Both my brother and my sister are dog lovers, I am probably the only one in the family whom is skeptical about a dog and is scared of them due to a bad childhood experience. When I was about 6years old, i witness my grandmother being bitten by a dog and that not only leaves a scar on her physically and on me (psychlogically)

We found Sporty 3 years ago in August roaming around the street with an injured leg. Being dog lover of course we brought her home and nurse her. I believed she was abused by the previous owner as she was very fierce when we initally brought her home. We tried to put up posters around the area we found her, posted on the JRT forum but nobody comes to claim her. We gave up after 2 weeks of search and by then, both dogs had became friends.

The nightmare came in mid September when we realised Sporty was becoming fatter and the stomach was getting bigger as the day passes by and that her appetite was horrendously huge. We brought her to the vet and that confirmed our fear, she is PREGNANT.

On October 23 2006, Sporty gave birth to 6 little Rascals (4 male and 2 female). We named them Jabber, Junior, Jam, Juro, Jace and Joy.

I will share again on a later post on taking care of the little rascals in the inital weeks.
