Jinx

August 19, 2008

This is Jinxy Doodlebug (called “Jinx” for short), approximately three years old, she was about to be put to sleep at a local vets as her previous owner no longer wanted her. Now she is a very special member of the family having wormed her way into my heart. She does obedience training every Saturday morning and does every exercise with enthusiasm much to the delight of the other owners watching.

Her very favourite things are agility and jumping and she has won two rosettes at her first two shows for jumping. When not working hard at training, she likes nothing better than a walk in the forest and laying down in the muddiest puddle she can find! She also loves getting new toys, but they must squeak and be furry or else she is not interested.
