New Jack Russell Puppy, 'Cooper' 

( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Thanks, Carl. Once in your heart, dogs become as much of life as "family", because they ARE family. Y'all are over there near Mississippi... way OUT in the country! ;) These days, that's a "blessing".

Thank you Rose. I was just thinking the same about you & Frankie. :)

Thank you, sweet Rose. God gives us 'part time' angels until we can be with the real ones. However, I have seriously considered giving him Ritalin quite a few times! :)

Fills good to see this love 💘 this is good 😇

+theresa jurrus Thanks, Theresa. Rascal is 16 years old now. He is slower and doesn't hear or see as well as he did in this video, but he is still with us! When I got cancer in my spine, I couldn't walk Cooper (because of increased pain), so I had to give him up for adoption to a very good family. I miss him (he was a copy of my old buddy Rascal), but I was just so afraid he would be hit by a car on the road where we live. Actually, Rascal was hit by a car (in front of our house) when he was about a two years old and still has problems because of it, but God has granted me with his wonderful friendship for 16 years now.

+RonRay I lost my little Harley that way. I have 2 other loves though. You always miss the ones that are gone. I am really enjoying your videos. Are you in Instagram as well.

+theresa jurrus I'm sorry to hear of your loss... People always say it was "just a dog" when you loose one of these gifts from God: Nothing could be further from the truth. They are more that just an animal; more than just flesh and bone... I believe there is within these special little entities, a part of US. Maybe even a part of the Creator Himself. For I am sure that this world would be a far worse place without these little angels to help guide our paths- to help smooth the rough edges of life. When Rascal was hit by a truck, he was paralyzed from the neck down. The vet didn't think he would even live, but month by month, I held him up and his steps grew stronger and stronger. He still has seizures because of that accident, but is still my best (earthly) friend and is my gift from God. The whole purpose of getting Cooper (the puppy in this video), was to "replace" my Rascal, but I never stopped to consider that they can never be "replaced"... only added. I'm sorry to spend so much time on this, but for me this subject is like a geyser; it burst forth with a life of its own. :)

+Drone Girl Thanks and welcome to my channel and United States.

Perrine hope Je vous remercie. ♥

If you've owned one before (or should I say, was owned by one before), then you know what is coming... But if this is the first time with a JRT, then you have both my admiration and sympathy. They can rearrange your priorities and fill the hole in your heart like no other breed (IMO). If you think you have no "hole" in your heart, you'll certainly know soon, when it's been filled. ♥

@@RonRay we lost our JRT of 13 years in Sept. He was truly a huge part of our family, such a personality and loyal friend. But, we’re gluttons for punishment and taking the plunge again.

Thanks Dave. Rascal is old and having health issues which means he won't be with me too much longer, so Cooper has some mighty big paws to fill. ;) The music is just something I came up with, using Magix Music Maker, some loops & samples and time, which I now have plenty of... (on my 'hands' that is~ sometimes I feel about like Rascal; ready for Rainbow Bridge.)

Obrigado, Valdoberto Rabelo. Os espectadores do meu canal são meu único sucesso.

Ben, he was 6 weeks old in this video. (just weaned... :)

@@RonRay ok thats to soon.. You should have waited 2 or 4 more weeks. Little man needs his mammas milk!

They are afraid as well... When you join forces, there's nothing that can come between you. They can "complete" you, if you open your heart to them. ♥

You have nothing to fear but fear itself.

567482 inCincy - Sorry to tell YOU this but: A mutation in a gene called the T-box transcription factor T gene (C189G) accounts for natural bobtails in 18 of 24 dog breeds studied, but not in another 6 dog breeds, for which the genetic mechanism is yet to be determined. Natural bobtail dog breeds with C189G mutation: Australian Shepherd Austrian Pinscher Australian Stumpy Tail Cattle Dog Braque du Bourbonnais (Bourbonnais Pointer) Braque Francais (Savoy Sheepdog) Brazilian Terrier Brittany Spaniel Croatian Sheepdog Danish-Swedish Farmdog Donggyeongi *** Jack Russell Terrier *** Karelian Bear Dog Mudi Pembroke Welsh Corgi Polish Lowland Sheepdog Pyrenean Shepherd Schipperke Spanish Water Dog Swedish Vallhund ("Google" it!)

RonRay ummmmmmm NO. I've bred them and my parents have for decades.

Just read the Wikipedia and all other articles. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natural_bobtail Don't presume that you are more intelligent than all these breeders and specialists!

Sadly Laura, I had to give him up to a family that really wanted (needed) him. While he was still growing, I was diagnosed with stage 4 bone cancer of the spine & pelvis. We do not have a fenced-in yard and I couldn't take him out on a lease 5 to 6 times a day. He (unlike my old dog Rascal of 17 years), wouldn't stay out of the road. So it was necessary to have him on a leash the whole time he was outside. I miss him terribly and didn't want to give him up, but at that time, I was given only 8 months to live. (Feb., 2015) - Thank God, I am healed, but the pain remains and I am still unable to walk a rambunctious dog like Cooper. I've even had to stop walking with my old buddy Rascal, who at this time, isn't able to do much walking because of his health and advanced years. We're now just two old dudes, sharing each other's pain... ;) I hope you and yours are in good health and happy! ♥

Thank you for sharing, my dear friend Ron. Miracles happen every day. A very good friend of mine was recently told she has stage 4 cancer. She will begin chemo on Tuesday. She has had cancer twice already. I guess we have to face the fact that we are all getting old. Live each day to its fullest as best we can and enjoy .. Bless your dear heart and your family, too .. Hugs and love
