The dog that drove Frasier crazy has died.

Eddie was played on the TV series by a Jack Russell terrier named Moose. His trainer tells People magazine that Moose was 16 1/2 years old when he died at her home in Los Angeles.

He’d been retired for

Moose also starred in the movie “My Dog Skip” as the older Skip.

'bye, Moose...

He never screwed up his lines.

I don't think I've ever laughed so hard at anything on TV as Eddie flinging an empty flour sack around in his teeth, while Daphne says, "The dingo's got your baby...."

[RepoGirl]

Ah, what a shame. One of the cable channels shows reruns of Frasier regularly, and I've gotten back into watch it. What an incredibly well-written, witty show that was.

Moose stole every scene she was in. She was a good dog.

[rintense]

Aw, poor Moose. I had read that in the later years of Fraiser, Moose's offsrping played the role of Eddie.

Is this still supposed to be funny? Please - give it a rest...

Is this still supposed to be funny?

No, it was a delibrate attempt to irritate you personally. I'm glad it worked.

[Stone Mountain]

Is this still supposed to be funny?

No

Mission Accomplished.

[mgstarr]

My dogs and I met Moose a while back on a sponsored dog walk in LA. Not overly friendly, even dog celebrities have that issue.

Sorry to see him go, very talented.

[presidio9]

FWIW, I still think its hilarious every time I see it. Maybe you're just a fundamentally unhapppy person. Have you tried alchohol?

RIP Moose - My Jack R. is the smartest dog I have ever had, he runs the whole household ragged 16 hours a day.

The dog is about as persistent, tireless and stubborn as you can get. When we got the dog as a puppy he was going to sleep in the kitchen. After three weeks of sleepless nights we decided to let him sleep on the bed, but only on a towel not on the blanket. First night I woke up in the middle of the night nose to nose, he was under the blanket with his head on my pillow.

Right now I am at work with him sitting in the chair next to me, I lose every contest of wills or battle, he just wears me down.

He lived 16 and 1/2 years? oh boy... I thought the little dogs rarely made it past 10

FWIW, I still think its hilarious every time I see it.

I thought it was funny the first 4000 times...

Maybe you're just a fundamentally unhapppy person. Have you tried alchohol?

Nope, pretty happy. But I've certainly tried alcohol...

Don't you mean "Jack Russel Terrorist"?

[Mini-14]

"Bush's fault" in comments and article titles are boring and tiresome. Give it a rest -- you aren't funny.

[nutmeg]

Awww... :-(

[presidio9]

People who post for no other reason than to complain about a perceived breech of posting etiquette have WAY too much time on their hands.

[presidio9]

Look, I realize that you're upset about Moose's passing (heck, we all are), but all this bickering won't bring him back.

[RSmithOpt]

That's a very cool story....I've considered getting a JRT after a lab, German shepherd and a mutt (all passed away now). Still wondering if I should.

Thanks for sharing your story of your dog. Give him a pat on the noggin' for me. There's something about that breed that keeps us humans sharp.

I lose every contest of wills or battle, he just wears me down.

Clearly you are not the pack leader.

[SlowBoat407]

I think everyone needs to step back and take a breath. We're all on the same side here, aren't we? I mean, I can't think of any reason for people who similar ideals, goals, philosophies and hopes to be bickering over something so petty as a few words on a page. I can't think of a single thing that would divide people so quickly and so thoroughly.

Then again, maybe it's Bush's Fault.

[presidio9]

[SlowBoat407]

Well, can't we?

[presidio9]

As I said, the grief over Moose's passing (Damn you George Bush!) may be playing havoc with some of the emotions here. I try not to take it personally.

[Mini-14]

After seeing "Bush's fault" for the thousandth time on various threads, it ceases to be funny.

[Eagles Talon IV]

LOL!!!

[Eagles Talon IV]

"Then again, maybe it's Bush's Fault."

Maybe it is. I mean can you PROVE it isn't Bush's fault?

[underbyte]

"""Clearly you are not the pack leader."""

Actually I am the only one he listens to.

When there are deer in the Yard and my wife is there he goes berserk and has nearly gotten himself killed.

When I am there he stays at my side. We can walk right up to the deer and they will be nose to nose no problem.

He is below me but above my wife in pack status. I can take him to go pick up my daughter at school and he is wagging his tail and as happy as can be. My wife takes him and he turns into a snarling maniac, throwing himself against the window scaring the kids half to death. Protecting my wife to the death is his priority.

All in all he is a good dog. Never bitten anyone, great with kids, just takes allot of energy to manage him.

[SlowBoat407]

I mean can you PROVE it isn't Bush's fault?

Interesting choice of words, since PROVE contains the name ROVE...

Hmmmmmm??

[Stone Mountain]

It's true - I better just drink some more...

Until you say that... then it becomes funny again :~)

Eddie is dead.

I think man-bear-pig did it.

RIP little guy... You had a dog's life. :~D

Well, I gotta say, he certainly got his nickle's worth! I don't ever want a JRT but he sure was one cool little dog.
RIP

That is a cool dog.

PS you owe me a keyboard for that title

Read the whole thread. Apparently "Bush's Fault" has been deemed no longer funny.

[RushCrush]

Sorry, I 're-deem'it funny as hell. Still.

[presidio9]

Me too. Heck, I wrote the subheading and it still cracks me up. The classics never get old.

[LucyJo]

O-o-o-h, hate to hear that! Loved watching "Eddie" and Frazier's dad on that show.

[RushCrush]

I like your attitude.

[pops88]

DON'T DO IT! They look so cute, but it's a ploy to get you to take them home so they can make your life miserable. Get another GSD. I've had many different breeds over my lifetime, and my GSDs were the best. I lived with my sister's JRT for about a year. The dog was smart, but totally psycho and ruled the house. At one time in its life it was on antidepressants and hormones to try to control its psycho behavior. We established early on that when my sister was gone, I was the alpha. I had to make it very clear I was bigger and more vicious. It got the message. Only a Pit Bull is lower on my list of dogs I'd ever consider owning. My husband was heard frequently quoting the line from Austin Powers regarding the dog- "I've got a gun...in my room...."

LOL, by golly, it DOES doesn't it!! Great job!! I'll bet you didn't even need your Captain Midnight Secret Decoder Ring

[AnAmericanMother]

Don't do it!

Unless you are as stubborn and durable as a Mississippi mule, a JRT will wear you down and win every battle. All the horse people have the darned things (they kill rats in the barn) and they are all untrained and totally obnoxious. A couple of people in our agility club have them, and those dogs are (somewhat) better behaved, but they still only do what they want to do, when they want to do it.

Life's too short for me to have to gird up for a battle of wills with a hyperactive, snappish little buzzsaw. I have a happy, sociable, eager-to-please Lab.

[SlowBoat407]

It's a gift. What can I say?

[AnAmericanMother]

Ya took the words right out of my mouth!

I'll add that my parents' neighbors have a Jack who was totally out of control. They asked me to help them train it since I had some clicker training experience and Jacks seem to do well with that. We got the dog to where it would obey some basic commands . . . but it's still hyper and yappy and attacks other dogs. My Lab (who normally loves all dogs) had to put her on her back to stop her from biting (she doesn't mind much, but she doesn't like JRTs hanging off her ears.)
