This is a scene from my living room last night:
Yes, my cat-hating Jack Russell mix, Patton, is happily chowing down next to a kitten. That kitten was running around on the porch, ran in the house past Patton, and started eating his food. Then Patton ...

Here at the beach, we're having the hardest snow I've seen since I moved here. This is actually the first time I've seen the snow stick on the ground. Of course, that doesn't make us Green Bay or anything, but still, I'd like to thank ...

(Read WP posts from ) | (Read MT posts from )
Just in case you were wondering, I did get Patton a Christmas gift. This year, he got an American Kennel replica of his most hated adversary from the yard -- the dreaded squirrel. The dog spent a good portion of the day chewing on ole ...

So, I take Patton and the Affenpinscher (Sam) I am dogsitting outside this morning and as they are tooling around the back yard, a cat wanders over. Patton, who loves nothing better than chasing cats or circling them and nipping at their tails as they ...

(Read WP posts from ) | (Read MT posts from )
Question: "How about a topic that we all can enjoy? How did you decide on Patton for a pet? Why a dog instead of a cat or canary? Why his breed? Why him instead of one of his other litter mates? Temperament? Looks? Will you ...

Question: "What breed is Patton?" -- Cartman
Answer: He's the product of a pure blooded Jack Russell Terrier on his father's side who mated with a Pomeranian/Husky/Beagle mix. He actually reminds me of (and acts like) a Jack Russell, but he's thicker, more muscular (particularly ...

Question (from one of the comment threads): "Hey, John-speaking of Patton, how has he been doing lately? We haven't seen a picture of Patton status in over a month, according to the archives. Sorry about the threadjack, but I couldn't hold it until a Q&A ...
