Lady, the JRT, was a typical terrier, but quickly learned not to bother my cats. A couple of cats came and went in the intervening years, and Dad died, too. Then, my sister moved here about 3 years ago with her 3 cats. Every time we left the house, we always announced "Lady is in charge." She was such a great dog and a great cat protector. She died about this time last year and we miss her sweet presence every day. We will never get another young dog because we are of advanced age ourselves, though we might foster or adopt a senior dog, esp. if they love cats.

Your family is beautiful. Belly rubs to Eightball for being such a good supervisor!
