Peanut Butter Stampede with Ruby

 Christ on a bike! 🤣🤣🤣 It was time to give miss Ruby our elderly Jack Russell some medication, wrapped in peanut butter. I just mentioned peanut butter to her and as if by magic her ears prick up, and she came rushing into the kitchen behind her daddy. She nearly knocked him over as she rushed past. Then she slams on the breaks and stood right in front of him. As she often does, lol. 

I had visions of the policeman from the Police Academy movies going head first up the horses bum 😂😂 She then looked at me to give me the nod, bring my treat over to the rug in the family room please. 

She gulped the peanut butter and three pills straight down, then licking the remainder off my fingers that fast that she nearly bit my fingers. Normally she is very dainty with being hand fed anything. I am so glad that she likes peanut butter because other methods of administering medication have never been successful. Little miss snarky, she is fast when she snaps, and things get ugly fast.  

I thank my lucky stars that I don't have to give her a suppository.  Life with a Jack Russell is never boring, and the don't slow down in old age, I can assure you. When anyone comes to the door, bam, she is off the couch like a fat boy on cake and splatted up against the flyscreen door ready to attack and going off her nut. You have to peal her off the door as she is going ballistic.

I swear she is the reincarnation of our late Gromit. He was a full on psychopath (Leo star sign, lol). Gromit would literally froth at the mouth and try to rip the door off its hinges. The person on the other side of the door had the colour drain from their face instantly. Gromit was a Border terrier with Silky terrier cross (cross, more like furious), hence the psychotic temperament. His eyes used to bulge as he went ape shit at the door. No chance of the postie getting too close to the door if either dog is around, lol. I will just drop the package here thanks, lol. 

Ruby is now snoozing on the couch with her minky blanket and totally chill. What a great life!
