This is my dog. His name is Ollie, and he’s 14 years old. He’s a Jack Russell Terrier. I’ve had Ollie ever since he was a puppy. He was about 2 months old when I got him, and I’ve had him ever since. Dogs are like your children, aren’t they? You love them, feed them, walk them and do everything you can for them to ensure they live a long and happy life.
Although he’s 14 now, he is still able to go for walks. Although he doesn’t go for long walks like he used to. And of course, he’s slowed down a bit too. But he’s still able to run around. His appetite is still good and he eats well. I know a lot of people will say, it’s just a dog. But to me, he’s more than that. I live on my own, so for me he’s good company and a wonderful companion. I’ve spoken to people in the past who have had Jack Russells, and they’ve all told me they have lived 16, 17 or even 18 years. So I hope I have got Ollie for a little while longer. Yes, of course I am dreading the day I lose him. But he still gets lots of love and am glad he is still a happy and well dog.
dogs are lovely creatures if aren’t mad
barking dog ,i dont like
Ollie is a wonderful true friend, wish you both to support each other for a very long time!!!
Thankyou Anastasia. Yes, dogs are certainly wonderful friends.
My dog’s name is Splay (6 x 7 years old), and I take her for six walks a day – three in the morning, and three in the afternoon. Fortunately, we live next to a large piece of bush-covered open ground on the banks of the Berg River, so it’s wonderful to take her out. As a freelance editor and indexer, it’s great to be able to take so many breaks in a day. She’s not “just a dog” – she’s a deeply spiritual being.
I agree Lois. My dog is certainly more than just a dog to me. He’s very much a big part of my family and is very much loved.
Hello Ollie, you look like a good dog. I hope you live a long and healthy life and return much love to your human mom.
Thankyou Ann. Yes, he is a little darling. He’s such a good boy. Thankyou for the lovely comment.
Dogs are my best friend since they are my own children.
The dog is so cute. He is like a member of your family.
I have a 21 year old cat, and he is a member of the family. Our vet calls him the miracle cat. I pray he lives a lot longer and in good health,
Oh, 21 is a great age. I pray you have him for some time yet. Yes, they are very much a part of the family.
He is a beauty and looks really well for his age.
Thankyou Gloridaze. Yes, I am blessed that he is still healthy.
A person who owns a pet must generally love them so much, let alone dogs who have a loyal nature.
Yes Albert, I do love him a lot. He’s a very special little dog to me. =)
From the way you told us, I’m sure he is.
What a beautiful little friend you have there. Good for both of you.
Thankyou Carol. Yes, he is a lovely little dog and my best friend. =)
They are such loyal companions.
Jack Russell Terriers are wonderful dogs. Great post 🙂
He’s adorable! I hope he’ll be in a good health for many more years! Pets are always like family members.
Thankyou Ellie. Yes, they certainly are very big members of the family.
Shared with some of my other friends, whom I hope, join.
There’s money to be made in this.
Thankyou Donald. I hope your friends join, it’s always great to have new members here!
Looks just like my Jack Russell Terrier. Cookie lived until 18 years old. He passed about 2 years ago. We all miss the little guy.
I’m sorry to hear about Cookie, Chaiger. Yes, a lot of people have told me they live to a good age.
He is adorable. I hope you have him for many many years.
You have a very nice pet.
It is nice that enjoy your pet so much.
I lost my golden retriever at the age of 9. I can understand what you feel right now.
So lovely! So cute! Great post!
