CHILL TIME
JILL MAP READING

Jack leaves mommy a present

So i'm a member in a fabulous wine club called W.O.W- Womens Only Wine
And once a month the gals and I get together at one of their houses, we rotate hosting.
Now whats Divine about our club is that we have themed wine club nights, so the person hosting wine club cooks generally a three course meal and we each bring a bottle of wine that is also themed ie: organic wine or merlot night etc...

The food is good the wine is great and subjects always tend to head south...(YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN,WINK, WINK)

After a partically giggly and naughty drunk fuelled night at wine club,we did start off been studious and adult like promise :) I went to bed and had a night of broken sleep and toilet trips (red wine does that).

7AM!!! TIME FOR WORK...uggghhh my heads foggy, mouth dry, eyes sore..great!

I Shuffle to the sliding doors to open for Jack and Jill for their morning pee and stumble upon (not literally)
a mountain of warm, porridge like consistency, caramel coloured poo! (to gag at this point is appropriate)
uggghhhh JACK! I  know its Jack because Jills poo is delicately designed like alittle bucks kind of pellet like,I sigh, turn around and head for my bathroom to grab large amounts of loo paper to clean up.
Wayne is snoozing and I dont have the heart to wake him to make him clean it up, although the thought did cross my hung over brain!

In walks Jack, shame he actually looks embarrassed! I say "its ok my boy" and mop  it up..whilst holding back the mounting nausea that is overcoming me..

Lesson learnt!! No exotic pets mince for Jacky at night too risky!
And you thought I was going to say no more drinking right?.....



Jill and the giant moth!

Jills a natural at hunting, we know that jack russells were bred to hunt and kill rodents back in the day, but she takes this to a new level! I call it a form of Obsessive compulsive disorder ha ha she can stare for hours at one spot waiting for a lizard or beetle to come out from hiding and then ZAP! she pounces! It must be very satisfying getting her well deserved reward for all that patience....except for one night....

Wayne and I were having a quiet night at home vegging infront of the tv, Jack was snoozing on his bed like a good boy and madam Jill was next to me on the couch.( I have to vacuum daily to remove copious amounts of hair, the sacrifice I make to have them snuggle next to us.) Anyway...

In flies the biggest moth I have seen in Joberg (there are bigger in the bush) and gently lands on the wall opposite the couch where Jill is laying.One eye opens,the ears perk up and here comes the OCD behaviour! She launches herself at the wall, crying in frustration that she miscalculated the fact that she cant fly up a wall to eat her prey. she jumps, scratches and whines at this poor little moth that is oblivious to her tormented killer!

After awhile I get irritated with the whining and crying and decide to be an accomplice in this unnecessary 'Murder'.So I gently navigate the moth alittle closer to where Jill can reach it, she takes this unexpected opportunity to her full advantage and in one quick as lightning swoop she gobbles up the moth, wings and all YUK!

I did feel guilty for helping her kill it, I really did but what mommy would watch and let their four legged child stare and whine at a wall without helping out :)

Lets get to know each other!

Thanks for making time to read my blog, I'm pretty new to this so i'll learn as i go along ( i'm not that technologically gifted) lol!

I adore my doggies and couldnt imagine my life without them! I want to tell you how they came into my life so you get to know us alittle better and we can have fun with this.

I have known Jack and Jill since they were pups as they belonged to my dad, sadly in June 2010 my Dad passed away.Now let me just say Wayne and I (my other half) had known that one day we would want dogs but hadnt expected or could ever had imagined adopting these two, I never thought about what would happen to them in the event of my dad passing away, I mean, who thinks of these things! so anyway.....

So after the shock of loosing a parent (which sucks!) I had to decide the fate and/or future of two senior doggies.Not many people are keen on adopting old dogs.After afew months of countless emails and calls to shelters and family members, we decided to adopt them!I can honestly say that it was the best decision I made that year!

So enjoy some cute and entertaining blogging from all of us at no9 :)
