Well it’s a scary time with a global pandemic thanks to covid 19. Countries all over the world are shut, businesses closed down apart from essential ones and joe public confined to their homes. What does that mean, well for me two things, time to do or attempt hobby and entertaining my new dog.
After the heartache of losing Buddy I couldn’t face the house it was soulless and empty and I didn’t want to be in it or do stuff associated with it. I simply eat slept and left whenever I could, I later found out people were worried I was losing it and if I’m honest I did a bit, grief is a bugger to deal with and I was failing. Then on a trip out I came into contact with a last pup from a litter, Black and Tan different to Buddy in build and colour but still a jack Russell, what did he do but bark and dive straight on me.

His choosing me like Buddy did was all the nudge I needed and he came home with me smack bang at eight weeks also like Buddy did. His birthday 11th June 2019. It’s been a hectic time training him and he’s a little shit the complete opposite of Buddy wilful stubborn selective hearing and destructive to name but a few of his traits. I should have known when he chose his name, like with Buddy I read through a long list of names without a murmur from him and afterwards say out loud your gonna be Trouble. Hey presto he barks and comes at me so Trouble it’s been for the last ten months. No doubt when the lockdowns lifted we will be off on adventures like I did when Buddy was alive, that’s if I can keep up with the little shit. In the meantime for the most part he’s a tart for cuddles.
