I come from a large family and was not used to being by myself so much. I live with my fiance, but he works two full time jobs. I begged him to agree to getting a dog for months, and finally we went to see some JRT pups.
Just to see turned into a must have. At first I was a bit overwhelmed. I was so afraid that I wasn't doing things right, and I didn't want to leave her alone while I was in class.
During her second week with us I started to feel an anxiety attack come and Scout was still getting adjusted, and she began whinning and crying. I picked her up and calmed her down,and the after five minutes not only was she calm and slepping, but I didn't have an anxiety attack.
Not only have my anxiety attacks passed, but so have sleepless nights. I no longer struggle to fall asleep at night. She is so special, fun, loving and cheerful! Everyone loves her and she loves everyone. She isn't well trained yet, so I've started taking her to a trainer. One of the first things he told me was stop giving her a lot of attention. How do you stop giving a JRT attention? Especially when she is so darn cute. I could go on and on about how crazy I am about her. I think this will do for now.
Bye, hear from you very soon. -- Amie Farno
