Gabbie on the run

My Pets

I have two dogs, both Jack Russell Terriers. One is adopted from a shelter and they said he was a mix with a Chihuahua parent. I don't see anything about him having a Chi parent. He's a regular sized dog, his name is Max. My younger dog is Joey and he's a Parson Jack Russell Terrier adopted from a breeder. Joey is the baby of the family. He's a bit spoiled and naughty. While Max is well behaved and only barks at my Dad who is innocent of any misdoings but not so with Max. These two dogs are protective of me, follow me everywhere I go. They even follow me to the bathroom. But they sleep on the carpet or floor next to my feet in the house. I love these dogs very much. Trouble is, I have two cats as well. Katya is a shelter cat and I've had her for 12 years and Paco is a purebred cat who snubs the two dogs as much as he can. In time, these pets of mine mix together peacefully, except when Katya meows early in the morning for her food. That's the time Max chases her. Paco hardly meows but if he does, it means he's really in need of food or water. I wake up at 5 am and feed them.

These are my best friends. I have a human best friend but she's all the way over in Gaithersburg. We hardly email anymore and she and I don't visit anymore. That's ok. She's not a best friend to me but she considers she is my best friend.

If I were to be asked which friend would I want, I'd answer a pet would be my best friend.
