Puppy Love - August
SITE AREA: Family - Pet Care
JACK RUSSELL WANTS TO MELT YOUR HEART AND LICK YOUR FACE I may be small, but I like my kisses super-sized. Just like Clark Gable, I'm a gentleman. Sure, I'm only 2 or 3 years old, but I have lots of experience being a good boy on walks and while playing - indoors and out. Folks say t...

SITE AREA: Health - Seniors
