Those Pesky Girls!

Bert, our Pembroke Welsh Corgi, has a couple sisters that live with him in Ohio. They pretty much ignore him and stay out of his way, but when push comes to shove, they own him. He may be bigger, but there are two of those little dervishes to keep him confused.

Jazzy is a Jack Russell Terrier who was born deaf. Maisy was my Christmas present that year and when I went to pick her up at the breeder, there was this little JRT puppy in a box by the door. When I picked her up the lady said she was going to the vet to be put down because she was deaf. Not happening… I got two Christmas presents.

Jazzy is a sweetheart and nobody can tell she’s deaf. She spends her days watching out the windows for crows, mice and ground hogs. No varmints allowed on our property. She is very secure and trusting, just a great dog. She loves people, dogs… not so much. If they make eye contact with her, she is in aggressive mode. We walk her a lot to get her used to strange dogs and over this. She communicates with signs and by cuing off the other dogs. She’s a smart little gal and a ball freak.

Maisy is a ShiPoo, and was my Christmas present several years back and what a good one. She is the Alpha dog, although Jazzy tries to be. When the cards are down and it’s important, this little lap dog shows the other two who the boss really is. She is very easy going, but allows no fist-a-cuffs between the others. She is the palace Princess and everyone knows it. She has the mentality of a three year old. She understands, but is selectively obedient. :0)

She is Momma’s baby and never more that a couple feet away. No matter what she’s doing, if Mom walks off, Maisy has to go too. Very devoted little dog. She likes other dogs, not the handshakes so much, and animals. Cautious of people unless Mom says they are OK. She is also a squeaky toy freak and carries one with her at all times.
