And, just in case you’re wondering why he’s wearing a cone and a sock: Ratchet is trying to keep his wounded foot away from me because he knows I am going to change his bandage… It seems that his nails are so heavy duty and his feet so small that he is constantly splitting his claws, so he spends a good deal of time with a bandage on his foot and the dreaded e-collar around his neck.

Here is my entry…

Yep! It’s me again! Here is the link to the photo…

This is Ratchet, he is a 3 year old Parsons jack Russel… In this picture Ratchet is trying to keep his wounded foot away from me because he knows I am going to change his bandage… It seems that his nails are so heavy duty and his feet so small that he is constantly splitting his claws, so he spends a good deal of time with a bandage on his foot and the dreaded e-collar around his neck.

The story behind us getting Ratchet is very bitter sweet. 4 years ago I had a jack Russel named Snoopy, Snoopy was only 10 months old when he bolted past my son through my front door and he ran out in the street and was hit by a car, a few hours later her died. We were completely devastated, he was only a puppy and I cannot convey to you hot totally messed up everyone in this house was! A white later we heard about a local breeder who had some puppies for sale, he was having a hard time selling them couldn’t keep them. We were hesitant, did we really want a new dog when our little baby had just recently died??? We decided to go and see the puppies. When we arrived at the breeders house one of the puppies in the small pen (ratchet) saw me and started jump up on the side trying to get to me I picked him up and he licked me all over the face and snuggled up under my chin.. it was all over at that point! We took him home and I have to say he was my salvation! I must admit I felt some guilt about getting a new puppy so soon after my other dog had passed away, but taking care of Ratchet helped me to cope with the devastating loss of snoopy… every time I felt sad I would pick Ratchet up and snuggle with him and it would help me to feel a little better. I know that a loved pup can never be replaced but even though Snoopy did move on to the rainbow bridge to wait for me and there are so many dogs out there who are alive and need our love… and I know that deep down inside Ratchet was meant to come and live with us.

Thanks!
