Terrier Tails

Dream jobs seem to be everywhere these days. First Jane at Tulocay & Co., a food company, then Lily Sopris at the Hotel Monaco in Denver and now we have Brasserie Pip in Courant, CT. The eatery is named after Pip, the owner’s Jack Russell Terrier who sometimes visits the bistro. Will they accept […]

We had to smile when we heard about Desmond, a Jack Russell Terrier from South Shields, England, the other day. Why not double your yapping power with another set of jaws? Well, Desmond had the right idea by grabbing his owners dentures. But oh dear - it all went terribly wrong when he […]

Here’s a routine to get those jaws in shape. Jack Russell Terrier, Zoe is the star of the King-Pin Lanes bowling alley in Fox River, Illinois. She’s reinventing bowling. At 19 pounds she’s playing fetch with the bowling balls that are more than half her body weight. Now there’s some jaw lifting for you. […]

The work of a pet detective agency caught our eye the other day. Well, we might have known - our bretheren Jack Russells are keeping them busy. They were looking for Chloe, when the Union-Tribune dropped in on pet detectives Annalisa Berns and Landa Coldiron, or missing animal response technicians as they prefer to […]

Lily Sopris is retiring after a six year stint as mascot and director of Pet Relations at the Hotel Monaco in Denver, Colorado. True to our ‘we must always be first style’ she is the pet relations pioneer for the Kimpton Hotel chain - there is now a Director of Pet Relations at all […]

We’re really envious of Jane. She’s the company mascot featured on Tulocay & Co.’s logo and labels. They are, of all things, a food company. Nice work if you can get it. As if that isn’t enough - she’s got the FEDEX and UPS drivers trained to give her cookies. She’s really good […]

There are so many wonderful animal loving people out there! Here is a story to warm your hearts on these cold winter days. On February 4, one of the coldest, Jack Russell, Daphne got out and was knocked down by a car. With traffic darting around her Dr. William Harter came to the rescue. […]

There are times when you can be too focused. We heard about this Jack Russell from Norfolk, England the other day who was so determined to squeeze down a rabbit hole only to discover he couldn’t find his way out!
For several days the owner tried in vain to free him but in the end the […]

Our editor ran this by me today and we just had to smile. It’s from the folks at The Daily Mail who first told us about Ratty.
Shouldn’t they be banking at “Barklays”?
(editors note:a play on Barclays, the British bank)

Our Editor tells us the nice people at the charity Canine Partners train dogs to operate […]

Our editor has sniffed out a few of the latest tidbits on Ratty. For those of you who don’t know, Ratty found fame last summer by catching the No. 10 bus to his local pub, the Black Bull in York, England for a pint and a sausage supper. But he got turned away when […]
