Hi! My name is Max, I’m a 12 week old Jack Russel terrier, and I moved in with Marianne and Eirik about 3 weeks ago.
My hobbies are: eating, sleeping, peeing (preferrable on the carpets inside, but my flatmates seem to get upset, and they give me candy if I go outside, so I’ll just stick with that from now on), and entertaining my flatmates by stirring things up a bit around the house. My favourite is eating everything I find outside, especially old cigarettes, this makes them go crazy and start playing with me to make me spit it out. Great fun, and it’s giving them some much needed excersise too, so I’m very happy with myself.
Yesterday we went to the vet, which wasn’t as bad as I had feared. I got lots of candy, especially when they poked me with a sharp needle, but it didn’t hurt at all. It appears that as long as I’m not showing pain at the vet’s office, they give me candy and tell me what a good boy I am. I’m adding this to the long list of things to do or not to do to get candy. Humans are sooo easy to manipulate, it’s not even a challenge. The problem is that the vet told Eirik and Marianne that I’m a bit chubby, so lately they haven’t been as easy to fool.
Other than that, I’ve learned a couple of neat tricks since I moved in with them (“tricks” in the human language is what I call “ways to get candy”), like “sit”, “stay”, and various other words like “no”, that I’m just ignoring since they’re never accompanied with candy.
I’ll be guest-blogging here for Eirik and Marianne now and then, since they’re too busy to post anything themselves, or that’s what they’re saying anyways, I’ve seen them lying on the sofa eating chips and drinking Coca Cola. Lazy, lazy, lazy.
Yours voofly, Max.
Oh, almost forgot; there are some pictures of me here, so you can see how cute I am: http://gallery.eiriks.net/max/
Awww that is the cutest thing ever! Me want a dog!
He’s cute to look at, but when you see him in action being evil you can almost see the horns growing
Cute dawgh aight!
Hej Eirik,
My aunt has a Jack Russel. We went for a brisk walk for two hours. While we walked straight along the path, the dog zig-zagged back and forth the whole time. At the end of the walk, I was a little tired, but the dog, having run back and forth the whole time, was jumpy and probably could have done the same walk again, and still not be tired! Wow.
Anyway I just downloaded Opera 9 and have a test case I thought someone would like to have a look at. Could I send it to you?\
Hope your move north works out well.
Hälsningar
Erik Sandblom
Hej Erik!
Jack Russels have the highest energylevel I’ve ever seen in a dog! Max is only a few months old, and he’s already outrunning us quite easily
I know Ralf is already looking into the problem you reported, he asked about it on IRC, but you can email the testcase to me and I’ll make sure the Opera guys receives it!
