Hey all, 

Rowdy has recently been having major eye goopies, and I wonder what it's from. They aren't really any particular color that would make me thing anything is wrong... but it's been rather windy this last week and my allergies have been going haywire... could that be what his are from?

I usually just wipe them away with a damp cloth... that's ok right?

Any information will be greatly appreciated :)

I just heard some sad news today that one of my family members lost her beloved Jack Russell, Bandit, today.  He went in on Monday for some blood tests and he had cirrhosis of the liver and had to be put down.

My heart breaks for Gramma Linda. Bandit was her baby and was so well cared for and loved. He always smelled like baby powder and was so squeaky clean all the time :)  I wish I had a picture of him. He was an adorable grey wire haired jack russell that was pretty small…

I hurt my neck and caused a spasm in my back earlier this week, so my one weekend off this month was sort of ruined for me and my boy. He desperately needed a bath and I couldn't do it. We went to our Petsmart for a grooming trip (his 2nd one ever) and it went SO WELL! He did great on his first one, but he's definitely becoming "all boy" the last week or so (the neuter appointment is in 2 weeks) therefore I had my little worries.

I forgot about week 2, but it's about week 3 now so I shall give a Rowdy update.  He had his 9 week shots recently and was such a good boy at the clinic, no whining, nothing. My boy is tough. Downside, they didn't mellow him out like the last set did... so he was extra energetic because he got to go on an adventure. We still had some fun :)

This little man has a lot of energy. He also is very stubborn and is living up to my name. I've been patient, consistent, and telling…

I'm going to try and document Rowdy's first year (or more, let's see if I can keep this up).

Rowdy is going to be 8 weeks old tomorrow, I got him at 7 weeks from a very loving family breeder in Sacramento. His buddy was a year old Golden Retriever and man did he love to play with him! That's how I was able to choose the name Rowdy, he got feisty with that golden and told him "what for."

When we brought him home, he immediately started playing with his new…
