The President of the comany i work for has a Jack Russell Terrier. (like Eddie from Fraiser...except Grommet is a wire-haired). He brings him to work every day. The plan was he'd sit in his bed and snooze the day away. Yeah. What a fucking plan. Grommet has been nothing but a pain in the ass for the past two months. His first day he walked into the office and took a shit in the conference room. He howls like a banshee when people come to the door. He has developed a taste for coffee grinds and strands of frayed carpet. Last week he managed to eat two donuts before we could get him off of the kitchen table. He has even developed a plan to distract people away from their lunch long enough to get a bite or two. He does it by barking like there is some one at the door, runs into the kitchen and runs back to the door barking. You get up to see who is at the door and you are rewarded with a dog on the table eating your turkey on rye. Today, however, was the fucking crown jewel accomplishment for our little buddy Grommet. I was at my desk, and i see the shop foreman walk down the hall into the lobby. This is followed by an eloquent outburst of Spanish profanity so naturally I get up to see what the problem is.
<sigh> Grommet had climbed onto the giant 4X8 foot garden planter in the lobby, pushed aside the ferns and flowers and dug himself a comfy dog-sized hole. There is potting soil on the chairs, walls, floor, shit he somehow managed to stain the fucking ceiling.... in the middle of all this is Grommet.... sitting in his happly little hole wagging his tail and i swear to god he was smiling. It wa the funnest thing i have seen in a long time.

Ah, another has found the joy of the jack. Simple way to keep them busy, give them the biggest done you can. They'll spend all day trying to drag it around somewhere, then spend the next week trying to find a way to chew it. Plus it'll keep it quiet.

Haven't seen terriers before then, this is only the beginning.

Ah, good old Jack Russels. We have one, called Gizmo. He's a little nutcase.
