I was gearing up to go out of town for Thanksgiving weekend. Everyone was all loaded up except for the dogs. Opened the front door of my house, like I always do, to let the dogs out.... usually I have my rear passenger door open so they can jump right in. Well, this time I didnt. I guess in his exuberence to get out of the house, my 15 lb Jack Russell Terrorist failed to notice that my rear passenger door was in fact CLOSED!

Full speed sprint, cleared the cladding, then SPLAT right into the side door!!! Im curious to see how the paint took the impact of 15 lbs of spring steel running full bore into it. When the weather clears up, Ill wash it and let you all know about the carnage. Luckily Bruno was uninjured....little rat bas$%rd!!

It was funny as hell though...
 
My Jack Russell (see photo to left) scratched my cladded Avy through 4 coats of Zaino!
 
See... that's why I'll never use Zaino.... animal cruelity... Just like a bird flying into a window... It's so shiny they think the door's open. ;D
 
LOL... without wishing the dog any harm... that would have been as funny as all heck to see, like watching someone walk into a glass door at the mall. Hate it when it happens to me, but funny as all buggery to see it happen to someone else.
 
That one spot might be even shinier. Only recourse at that point will be to velcro little Bruno down to an orbital polisher, and buff the rest of the AV out with him. Remember...never let Bruno spin in one place though, or he will burn right through the clearcoat. :D
 
We were contemplating getting a Jack Russell Terrier, but it seemed like they were just a little too hyper. Friends of ours had one years ago and ended up giving it away for that reason. So we got a West Highland White Terrier instead.

Speaking of animals hitting things: We are doing a study at work to replace an old bridge with what is called a cable-stayed bridge. It is much like a suspension bridge, but the cables are arranged at various angles from the towers, not straight down like a suspension bridge. One of the big issues with constructing this type of bridge is that the animal rights people will fight it because they say birds will fly into the cables at full speed, most certainly to their death upon impact. We will have to do all sorts of migration studies before this type of bridge can be proposed. And you wonder why our government costs so much.....
 
That's like one of my wife's Whippets (OK they are ours, but I don't like them) running full out into a glass door. Ever see a Whippet run? They are supposedly the fastest breed, besting the Greyhound. They're obviously not the brightest of breeds, either, as he's done this at least 3 times :E:
 
Obviously some humans are not the brightest either. A few weeks ago I saw an episode of American's Funniest Videos. About ten minutes of the show was dedicated to videos showing people walking into sliding glass doors or screens. Then I think it was the Jamie Kennedy show where they set up a store with a closed glass door and they watched as dozens of people walked right into the glass. That has to hurt! :E:

I've learned with my Jack Russel that they always win...

Im learning that with every day that goes by...."Bruno" once got in a fight with a cow, a big cow, Bruno didnt stop until I pulled him off, he kept trying to get back at that poor creature!!

Sometimes I doubt his sanity, but his tenacity is unrivaled. They are ruthless little suckers. Id love to have 5 or 6 of them. My personal pack!

I saw a bumper sticker that said, "Happiness, is being owned by a Jack Russell Terrier".
 
Yea my Jack Russel "Terrorist" isn't too sane either, but he sure is smart. Its the little things he catches onto that are the most impressive. We'd used to talk about the kennel when he'd go. He figured out the word kennel and would go hide. No we call it the "K" and he knows that too. Lots of other small stupid things like that, that make me think he's smarter than me.
 
We've got a pair of Jack's also. One tall version, one short version. They're fun to watch play, and are good with kids. They aren't our favorite breed, but they're what we ended up with and they really are good dogs. (one is animal rescue, the other was from a co-worker couldn't keep him any longer) I would recommend them to anyone that wants a small breed dog. Our previous dogs were Border Terriers; for small breeds that's our favorite.
 
Hola all, first time post...

Wiff and I own a Jack Russel Terror.. They are definitely smart... Pre my avalanche, I had a non extended cab chevy pickup... one with a tawno cover... wiff and I were at the lumber yard getting some lumber and had the tawno up at its 30 degree angle.. so I am loading the lumber and all of a sudden I feel something messing with my hair... that lil rat bastage had climbed through the rear window and climbed to the top of the tawno cover to harass me.. heheh

Another time my in-laws were over, this was shortly after he had taken possession of us.. Lil puppy, he was... Windy day, and he is out in the yard, and we are inside and eating and doing the family thang, and my mother in law keeps harassing me to let him in... seems she keeps looking at him and he is shaking, cause he is cold.... about 5 minutes later I look out the window, he is looking around having a good ole time by himself, and then he looks up at me, stops what he is doing, and starts shivering.... UMMM HELLLOOOO!!!!! YOU GOT BUSTED!!!!!!!!

We have a "Idiots guide to Jack Russell Terrors", and one of the first things the book says is "Your JRT WILL outsmart you, best to know that ahead of time!"

Worst mistake we made was getting another dog to calm our JRT down... All my experiences with beagles have been they are fat and lazy... welp, we bought this lil girl beagle, and figured she would calm him down... NOPE, she thinks she is a JRT.... a lot less coordinated, but a JRT none the less.. it is funny to see her try and do the tricks he does... jumps up in the air all gracefully, and then her butt catches up to her.. its like an avalanche doing a donut in the snow... you start the donut, everything is going great, and then that big ole arse comes swinging around.. heheheheh great excitement and tons of laughs....
 
My wife let her horse "smell" my right outside mirror. I just noticed today that I have nice horse teeth marks in it. Good thing I planned on swapping them out with the heated variety. :)
 
Cute pup..... but nothing like dragging up a thread over two years old.... and doing so ealry in the morning to boot!  :yakmar:
