I thought I'd point out that Jack Russell Terriers come in three coat types, smooth, broken and rough. So they are not all short haired dogs. Mine is technically a broken coat (a mixture of smooth and rough) but he has only a couple small spots of smooth fur, and they get hidden by the long...

I currently have two jobs. My FT job is as a Senior Teller at a community bank. My PT job is at a veterinary hospital. My FT job is not hard in an of itself. The most difficult part is the fact that it is basically customer service, and being hoh can make communication difficult at times...

His is just like this, except he has the wider version with a drawer for supplies underneath:

I call my boy the stereotypical JRT. He has the highest prey drive of any dog I've ever met, and he kills small animals that he catches in the backyard all the time. He has caught chipmunks, shrews, rabbits and birds. He has never caught a squirrell, though, they are smart enough to get up...

Thanks! Sorry to hear about your pup. I work in a veterinary hospital and it is so tough to see sudden illnesses like that. Sometimes the owners never found out what happened. It's very sad. My dog is my best bud! I actually had a humorous bit of art commissioned (cost me a bit of $$ but...

Unfortunately, no. I worked at the New England Aquarium, mostly working with mammals, reptiles and occasionally the penguins. The only thing I did with fish species was caring for patients in the medical center, so it was just checking water quality, doing water changes, feeding and...

That would actually be quite rare. Almost all of the time, when an animal suddenly starts acting aggressive, or otherwise not normal, it is due to a physical medical cause. For instance, some common causes of sudden aggression are thyroid imbalance, seizure disorders and pain reactions. All...

Right now I have 7 pets. I have one dog, Jack Daniels, that just celebrated his 8th birthday this week. He's a Jack Russell Terrier. I also have 6 rats. I have had anywhere from 2, up to 13 at one time. Here are some of the current crew. Nutmeg Paprika Bruschi Tek...

I am just getting started in training as well! I have done a lot of training with my own dogs and with family/friends dogs, but now I'm working with a CPDT in her classes. Learning how to teach the owners how to train is tougher than I expected! I have done lots of research on my own on the...

1st post! I'm jumping right in on a 'hot' thread, yay! I'm going to cover a few different things, here... First, there are many different species of boas and pythons, and I know many herpers that keep them. Typically, when you hear of someone being injured, it's due to burmese pythons...
