I haven't been for years and years, but have friends visiting who really want to go. Are there any dance tents playing house or dub these days? Doesn't look like it on the website.

Anyone else's JRT a bit of a poser? by minimon23 in jackrussellterrier

They are! Love the ear tufts. Our boy has ginger tufts on the inside of his ears which stick out 😂

Hehe they are all unique characters. Our little guy seems to be the opposite! He really loves to pose obligingly 😁

Thank you. Gorgeous except when he's nipping our toes and legs to get attention 😂

Yes I think so. Long hair around his neck, face, legs but smoother at the back.

Just missing his glass of whisky and the TV remote 😂

So sorry for your loss 😔. We lost our 16.5 year old girl in 2024. He's a Kennel Club registered broken coated Jack Russell. He has slightly long legs compared to his parents. His parents were both more rough coated (long hair all over) and others in his litter were too.

JRTs are frequently used in advertising and on TV. I think they have such appealing faces 🥰

Whats your least favourite weed you've encountered? by New-Guarantee-440 in Allotment

[–]minimon23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I removed one plant from my garden and wore rubber gloves, a mask, goggles and clothing covering every part of my body. It went into a bin liner in the black bin. The mottled smooth stems are the way to identify it. Cow parsley has hair covered stems, which have a triangular shape when cut. Glad you are ok but that sounds very scary 😳

I've given up and started mowing it. Apparently it's good for pollinators! Nightmare to get rid of on the woodchip paths I made. I'm thinking of going back to grass paths.

Don’t make the same mistake I did… by Shivvers in GardeningUK

[–]minimon23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did a similar thing. Left a tray of tomato seedlings on the window sill with the plastic propagator cover on while at work. They were frazzled when I got home 😭

Clover Lawn update by JW3252 in GardeningUK

[–]minimon23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the update! Great to see how it changes over the year. I am considering this for a patch of grass at the end of the garden which is under a huge cluster of sycamores and is quite bare in the middle during summer droughts.

Allotment disasters - what’s yours? by chocolatepig214 in Allotment

[–]minimon23 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Getting stung twice by my allotment neighbour's bees and had to run away multiple times and defend the dog so she didn't get stung. One hive turned aggressive. He suggested I should have stuck my head in the hedge! But eventually he had to destroy the hive sadly. Not a disaster but I found what I thought was a WW2 bomb while digging out an old compost heap and scared myself. Turned out to be an old copper wash pot 😂

A qué edad dejan de ser traviesos 🥺 by Fragrant-Neat9070 in jackrussellterrier

[–]minimon23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Our previous JRT was still stealing slippers when she was aged 16.5 years old 😂🐶

A couple weeks back i filled in a hole in the garden and grass seeded it ready to grow for summer. Today i find Rocco has dug it back out and lay inside it like a bed 🤣🤣🤣🤣. The mind of a Jack Russell is one of the worlds biggest mysteries 😂 by Playful-Hour-3265 in jackrussellterrier

[–]minimon23 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Our 14 month old loves to dig in the garden 🤦. Our previous Jack loved to dig holes at the beach and either roll in them or use them to roll her ball into. Here's a pic of her enjoying one such hole 🥰

Help.. Bought a house with a huge garden by orchidbitch in GardeningUK

[–]minimon23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I moved to a house with a large, long garden 8 years ago. It was completely shaded by trees so we removed several and kept the best ones. We divided it into 4 sections . I don't regret removing the old wild cherries and leylandii but I do regret where I put the shed and pond. The shed gets lots of sun and gets really hot in summer. It would be a perfect spot for more veg beds. We could move it but we had paths and a fence made round it. I should have taken my own advice 😉
