Saturday night just before midnight, by some wierd chance I looked out the window before heading off to bed, what do I see? Some asshat pulls up on the street out in front of my house stops, opens his truck door, sets a little dog out on the road and drives off. So I go out and call the little pup in, turns out its a young jack russell terrier, probably about 8-12 mos. old. It is scared as can be. I bring it inside for the night. The next day I expect a mess in the room where I put it for the night. None...turns out its house trained and knows all the basic stuff, sit, stay, etc...
I run it to the vet, no chip, no tags. I'd like to keep the little guy, but it is driving wifey's cat crazy (not that it's a long drive). Here is how Sunday played out. Dog sees cat, torments cat, cat swats dog with claws, dog yelps and fears cat. Cat sees this and now hunts dog like a mountain lion hunting a wounded deer. Later dog forgets about cat's claws and torments cat again and again gets the claws, then the dog is stalked again by the cat. This goes on and on and on. Oh and throw in the mix a screaming 4 month old who is either sick or colicy.
Good times :-\
This morning the whole thing started again until it was time to take Jr. to daycare. Thank God I'm at work now, a little piece and quiet!
What do you think I should do? I've wanted a Jack Russell for a few years, but didn't want to pay the high $ everyone wants for one. But I'm afraid the timing isn't right, adjusting to the baby, and the evil cat from hell. Had this of happened a year earlier or even a year later it would be Happy new dog to me (the cat would either get over it or die unhappy).
Should I stick it out a few weeks and see how things go, should I sell it on KSL.com, Should I say Merry Christmas to someone and just give it away to a good home? It's far too nice of a dog to send to the pound.
I've called the local vets and left a description and the county pound in case anyone is looking for the little guy. Also I put up a bunch of flyers in the hood. I'm hoping the guy that dropped it saw it running loose and picked it up, but saw no tags and just dropped it back off. I do know if anyone calls I'm asking if they know anyone with a red ford truck with a powerstroker, because that's what the asshat was driving, and I'm not about to give it back just to be dropped again.
