wednesday is black
Continuing with Color Week, please meet Petey. Pete owns one of my favorite black things in the world- that cold wet nose.
He is the BEST dog. OK, maybe he's not the best, as in best behaved. He does naughty things like scratch holes in new cotton sheets. He climbs into the compost to eat rotten vegetables. He barks at every little noise in the house. And as it goes in families that have furry children first, and then the not-so-furry variety next, his status around here has dropped. But he's old, and we've had him a long time- 13 years this October- and as we consider the end of his days with us, we only seem to appreciate him more.

Aww, Petey... it's sad to think he won't be around much longer! He's a good dog - and always happy to snatch a scrap of food. :)

You're right, black dog noses are the best. He does look like a sweetie.

Hello Petey! Nice to meet you.

Pete...The best dog a person could ever have. Probably the smartest dog I have ever known. J Russell terriers are the nicest dogs that you could ever have as a pet. He is very protective of his family but after he gets to know you he will lick you to death. It will be a very sad day for all when he is gone.I hope that is not for several months or years. We all love you, Pete...
