But I love my mom and dad and do silly things to make them laugh. My favorite thing is to run like a lunatic through the house. Whenever I do that, they call me Terrio Andretti. Then my mom sits on the floor with her legs up on the wall so I can jump over her when I run by. It’s fun. I like it. 

BTW, I’m not a Jack Russell. Lots of people think so. They think I look like Milo from The Mask. But I’m not; I’m way cuter than Milo. 

I'm really a "very precious little boy" - that's what my Mom and Dad say to me all the time. I guess I am. 

I was born on March 2, 1995 in Campbell, CA. Now, I live in Mountain View with my mom and dad. I used to live with two cats, but they're both gone now. Spike was all black and weighed almost as much as me. (I weigh 25 pounds. I'm pretty big for a Fox!). Poor old Spike got cancer and he had to go to the Rainbow Bridge to keep CJ company. CJ was our other cat. My mom had her for years and years, before she met my Dad even! She was pretty old and had trouble getting around. One day she disappeared and my mom cried a lot. I think something sad happened to her. My mom hugged me a lot that day. I miss chasing them around the house..

• Squirrels !!!
• Snacks
• Walkies
• Watching TV – I especially like to catch Eddie starring in Frasier and of course Wishbone. I know, they're Jack Russells but that's OK.
• The Dog Park – My mom and dad think that if they say "Og-Day Ark-Pay", I won't know what they're talking about.
• Going to Stanford Shopping Center. They like dogs there and even let me go into Bloomingdale's and Macy's. The Lancôme ladies always make over me and tell me how cute I am.
• The Los Altos Pet Parade. Mom puts a costume on me and parades me up and down Main Street. I like to strut my stuff. This time I wore a Hawaiian shirt and a lei. Very tropical!!
• Singing Happy Birthday! Yes, it's very weird. Whenever I hear the Happy Birthday song, I just have to sing along. Sometimes I hear it on TV, sometimes my Mom sings it to me. But I can't help it. I have to join in.

• Pooter – Well, let's not go into that.
• Schmickers – Just plain silly if you ask me.
• Bedbug – Cuz I like to worm under the covers when it gets cold.
• Señor Long Nose – I do believe they're making fun of me.
• Sir Grunts-a-Lot – I love back rubs.
• Evander (as in Holyfield) – OK, so that lab got a piece of my ear. It was a cheap shot.
• Bat Boy - I can't help it if my ears stick up straight when I face into the wind.
• His Honor, The Mayor of Pooterville - By far the dumbest thing they call me, but boy do they laugh when they call me that.
• Lumpity Lumps - OK, so I got this little fatty deposit on my back leg. No reason to make fun of me. Actually, the lump turned out to be cancerous. Check out the latest in his cancer update.
