My two crazy Jack Russell
Terriers (Terrors) Disney and Riley, are great companions and guard dogs. They
protect us from countless squirrels, birds, and joggers. Each has a bed in my
office, and they help me plot mysteries and listen while I talk through
dialogue (if they’re not napping).
Here are some things I’ve learned
from them.
1. Enjoy what
you do. If not, find something else to spend your time on. There are way too
many interesting things to see, eat, sniff, or bark at.
2. Don’t waste
a beautiful day inside. Go outside and have some fun.
3. Wag and make
friends. Relationships are important.
4. Don’t sit at
your desk too long. Everybody needs a break.
5. Just go for
it. If you want something, grab it. They don’t waste time over-analyzing
things.
6. Bark if you
really need to, but not too much.
7. Make sure
you nap when you need to. You need to recharge.
8. Live in the
moment. Don’t stress about what has happened or what might happen.
9. Play hard.
Life shouldn’t be all work. EVERYTHING is a game to a Jack Russell.
