Silly Jerry



Jerry "The Mighty Quinn" aka Mr. Troublemaker and Tom Jones






Well Jerry has done it again. He is constantly stealing the spotlight from Tom along with his toys and his snacks. Jerry has gotten smart to the fact that Tom has his invisible fence collar and cannot go near the perimeter of the yard so since Jerry doesn't have a collar yet, he takes all of Tom's toys- frisbee, tennis balls and squeakie toys and puts them just out of Tom's reach. Then he sits and plays with them happily all the while Tom sits and stares. Poor Tom. Even last night at agility class Tom was running and completing his obstacles nicely when Mr. Troublemaker Jerry excused himself from his crate. Yes he unlatched his crate and ran onto the agility floor completing a perfect FULL HEIGHT A-Frame and Dogwalk before I could catch that little punk. Tom just sat and stared as everyone gave Jerry their full attention laughing and cheering him as he took on obstacles way out of his league. Jerry is also becoming very competitive when we throw frisbees and tennis balls. He can run just about as fast as Tom. I even had to run full speed with Jerry on some of the beginner obstacles in his class last night because he was flying through them. Much different than my easy does it steady Tom. I certainly have my work cut out for me. Two completely different dogs playing the same game. I wonder who will be more successful. Enjoy the AKC mugshots. Wish Smartie and Tom luck as they compete in upcoming agility events in Port Jervis and Blackthorne.
