This is Rocket, our new edition to the family. Lucy has been wanting a dog for ages. I always had dogs when I was younger but none in recent years.
So we went to the Sligo dog shelter and saw this Jack Russell. He is about two years old and really lovely. We’ve been busy walking him and he’s really good on the lead. It’s a shame some people don’t keep their dogs under control though. He nearly got savaged by a Great Dane yesterday, who’s owner was no where near him, she had to run up and try and put a lead on him. Our poor fella was terrified.
Today we gave Rocket a bath, if anything he smells worse though! If anyone has a ‘dog smell remedy’ can you let me know please?

Hi Val,
The smell is probably from his wet fur, I got this microfiber towel …

it has taylor completely dry in seconds. I got it in tescos for about €1.50.
Also would recommend getting a phone number and his name on a tag for his collar, in case he ever wanders off.
And if you buy him a postmans leg 😉 you will be his most favourite person for ever. (€2.00)
Thanks Katie, some great advice there. 🙂
Rub him with a dry cat.
lol
He’s so cute! Congrats on the newest member of your family!
Thanks Kim 🙂
Nice doggy, lovely here also !!!
Thanks Chris
He’s lovely!
I’m more of a cat person though as I have been put off dogs by that smell in the past..
I was more a cat person too, but I’d look a bit daft taking a cat for a walk 😉
Rocket is a lucky doggie to have found a loving new home!
I attend a specialist by the name of John Russell. One day my GP asked me what Jack Russell had advised and I just dissolved laughing and he did too once he’d realised his slip of the tongue!
Thanks Steph, imagine if the doctor was called Jack Russell……that would be ‘ruff’ 😉
