Hannah, the Dog of the Day
Name: Hannah
Age: Four Months old
Gender: Female Breed: Jack Russell Terrier
Home: Simi Valley, California, USA
 
   This is our new puppy, Hannah (aka "Hannah The Handful"), a smooth coated Jack Russell Terrier. Hannah's grandfather on her mother's side was the dog in the movie "Mask" with Jim Carrey. Her father, Spike, competed in Tunnel Quest on Animal Planet. Her breeding is excellent, and therefore, makes her very special for her breed. But putting her breeding aside, Hannah is special to us because of her incredible intelligence and personality. Her goal in the morning after her breakfast is to spend it annoying our two Siamese cats. Daytime is spent outside in the yard with her nose to the ground tracking whatever it is she thinks she smells. In the evening, before retiring to her crate, she devotes her time to chewing on her chew bone, in my lap, while I hold the bone for her, of course. In between all that time, she manages to irritate our eight-year-old Maltese by insisting that they play!! When she wants to show affection toward us, she puts her nose between our chin and neck and snorts. Soon, after she gets her next round of shots, she can go for walks and hikes in the hills where we live, and hopefully, that will take care of some of the abundance of energy that she has. We are so pleased to have Hannah as part of our family. And I ask you, "How could you not love that face?
