>> my Mom had a jack russel... what an annoying creature.
You got it! I’m not a psychopath (at least, my psychiatrist says I’m not *quite* there yet :-) ), but listening to a Jack Russell terrier barking in the distance will get me to devising clever but cruel forms of animal torture in my head...
...rivaled only by those small yapping dogs who bare their teeth and throw themselves at the window glass when you walk by their owner's car in the parking lot. I always wondered what they would do if the glass disappeared while they were 'performing'...the dog HAS to know I could remove his head like a 40-watt bulb from a defective socket.
Lighten up, fang...not interested in your master's car, or anything in it.
