Hi, I’m Jackson. I’m a 1.5 yr old bull terrier who was adopted throughBlue Ridge Bull Terrier Rescue.

18/01/2023

Mom is so bad about posting! She hasn't told anyone how good I'm getting at being good. I almost never counter surf or hump pillows anymore. I haven't torn any flesh off my peeps in a while, though I did give Mom a black eye when I gave her a love bump with my nose. Here I am at Christmas with my first plush toy! I loved it. It took me three play sessions to destroy it.

Hey, it's Jackson! I keep telling Mom to post something about me. She's terrible! Ivan has posts, Apu has posts. Everybody has posts but me! I say, "Mom! Show off some of my awesome awesomeness!"

16/06/2022

My favorite way to get treats is when the folks say Park It. Here I am working on my Italian Job parallel parking skills!

'Every day, in every way he's getting better and better.' Mom! Why do you say that with a crazed look in your eyes?

18/05/2022

It's Jackson! Well, we finally had the talk. I decided the folks could adopt me as long as they kept the treats, toys, walks and butt scratchies coming. They were good with that, but I'm keeping both eyes on them!

Hey, it's Jackson! This is my shadow looking out the window watching deers in the yard. Mom says deer is already plural. I hate grammar! Deers!

17/04/2022

Hey guys, it's Jackson! Sorry I haven't posted. I had a crazy week! Mom says I either ate something on a walk or chewed up a rubber toy that has been in my system since before I got to my new home. I'll never tell. Anyway, it made me very sick. I kept throwing up and was sad. Mom was sad. Dad was sad. I had x-rays and it showed a blockage. Luckily, I passed it on Friday! Whew! Now I'm all about treats and eating deer p**p again. I even rolled in my own p**p and had to have a bath yesterday. Mom was so happy I'm better that she let me up on the chest to look out the window. I'm working on my nose art and checking out the neighborhood. Life is good.

Hey! Check out my new harness! I must be a star because it's got my name on it. I have a new nickname too... Snackbar. I like it way better than the other one... Turd!

27/03/2022

My peeps got me a toy for power chewers. I've almost defeated it! Here's a video Mom took before I got the first bit off of it. 🤎 They're listening to Big Band music. They listen to some weird stuff for their age.

What has it gots in its pocketses? Treatses!

16/03/2022

It's Jackson and I'm snuggled in for the night. I've been thinking about "the lady" and her husband and wondering how they're doing. I am grateful for the love they gave me when I was with them, and I hope they are doing well in whatever realm they're in. Their love and care meant a lot to me. I'm pretty sure I'm going to be happy with my new peeps, but I will always have them in my heart. Night night.

Testing, testing, 1, 2, 3... Jackson here! Sorry I've been radio silent the past week. It's been a busy week of testing. Mom says Sunday is a day of rest, but I like it as a day of test!! Actually, I've been a pretty good boy now that I know there are certain things I shouldn't do. Who knew counter surfing was a bad thing? I've been freaking out people and animals on my walks with my crazy fisher cat scream. I sure love my toys and treats, and spending time with my peeps. Okay, time for a snooze. Over and out! Zzzzzzz

10/03/2022

Ain't it cute, that Jackson sploot?

06/03/2022

I'm a grabber, I'm a nabber, I'm a midnight blabber... Jackson here. I'm not a midnight blabber, it just sounded good. I do make a great fisher cat noise when I see other dogs. It freaks everyone out, which is kinda cool. I'm loving my walks and my toys, although the toys seem to disappear when I get bits off of them. My record so far in a day is three destroyed. Mom and Dad practice getting my commands down. They're getting better at it. I just need to be patient with them. My favorite is when I grab something I shouldn't and I get a trade for it. Off for a bit of crate time! More later.

Jackson here in my new home with my new peeps. This is me this morning being pretty good. Last night when we got here, they said I was a hellion. We didn't get pictures cuz I didn't want to stay still after so long in the car. I pulled a good one and ran my head into my new mom's wine glass. It went all down the front of her. She laughed, but I'm pretty sure I shouldn't try that one again. So far I'm liking things pretty well here. They like me a bunch too. More later!

Jackson has gone through a lot during his short life. He spent the first 16 months of his life on a heavy chain and collar outside. He was then seized by the authorities and ended up in a shelter. We placed him in a home but realized we didn’t know enough about him at that point and it wasn’t a good fit. We then had him go to a trainer, who has helped us previously, for a month of board and train, where he did great. From there he went to what was suppose to be his permanent home, he was thriving. Sadly, the woman who he was with Gail McGaha ended up getting COVID and yesterday passed away shortly after being told that Jackson was on his way to his new home and was going to be okay. Last week, when we learned that Gail was in the hospital, we began looking for a new home for Jackson. Along came Tamara and Larry, they lost their bull terrier Devo in September of 2021 and were ready to open their home and hearts to another bull terrier. Yesterday, Jackson began his two day journey to his new home. Today he continued his journey where he finally met his new pawrents. We are hopeful that he has finally found his home and family. Special thanks to James Little for getting Jackson from Gail’s husband John yesterday and driving the first leg, Dave Keating and Lori Ross Keating and Marta Natasza Kozlowska for taking the time to do part of the transport yesterday, Paula Angiulo Shaw for getting him from Marta, having him sleep at her house last night and driving him another few hours today, Diane Metcalf and Lynn Pinkham, mom to Blue Ridge alumnus, Ivan the Terribully Handsome Boy - Adopted, for driving today and Tami and Larry for driving some and bringing Jackson home.

So many RULES. Inside rules. Outside rules. Why? I am trying to learn them all. No nipping, no jumping, no counter surfing, no attacking the vacuum robot, no barking at people, no pulling on the leash. My most un-favorite rule – LEAVE IT. The “it” is always something I want really bad. But LEAVE IT has big consequences so I leave it alone.

11/02/2022

My favorite time of the day is when the people sit down to watch something on the TV. I get comfortable and drift off to sleep. The lady says it is only time I am still.

10/02/2022

It's me, Jackson. Today the wind is blowing and I like the way it feels. It makes me run zoomies and jump in the air. I like it. The lady laughs at me but then she said she could hear the wind whistling through my ears. What does that mean?

10/02/2022

I got the zoomies today! I was outside with the lady and she was letting me walk with her. A little breeze came up and I got a little thrill. I started sunning like a crazy man. Run, run, run - life is great. The lady let me run till I had to stop to catch my breath. Then she called me goofball. Goofball? What does that mean?

09/02/2022

Hello, it's Jackson. I have a tummy ache. I ate something in the yard and the lady told me not to but I did any way. It seemed like the thing to do but now I have a tummy ache. I barfed two times and the lady says I can have water but no snacks or treats until I feel better. I guess I need to listen to her but there are so many rules to learn and I like eating things I've never had before.

09/02/2022

Look! I have a toy box. I have toys, balls, bones. Dog heaven.

08/02/2022

Jackson here. Life is so exciting! I saw a new animal today. I thought it was another one of those horses but the lady said it was a deer. It was in my yard! Standing there, eating my grass, in my space. The lady reminded me that it has only been my yard, my grass and my space for 3 days. Well, they're all mine now!!

08/02/2022

Morning, just me and a chew toy. Nothing to see

07/02/2022

I got in trouble. I got scolded. We went outside and were walking along the edge of the woods. A raccoon had been there and left some p**p. I couldn't resist, I couldn't. I threw myself down and rolled and rolled and rolled. To make matters worse, I pretended that it didn't hear Miss Gail telling me to stop. So, got scolded and had to have a bath. I liked the bath, but now I'm in trouble. She petted me and said I would learn not to do that. We'll see . .

07/02/2022

OK, I'm back - Miss Gail went to the kitchen to get a drink. My first day here was Saturday and I loved it, well most of it. I have 3 acres to run on and she takes me outside every 2-3 hours. I run and sniff and jump and she laughs at/with me. But now is the part I don't love> She expects me to work sometimes. I shouldn't complain because I get lots of kibbly treats but I also get leash corrections. I try not to get those. I like it when she laughs. I met Mr John. He is fun! He doesn't make me work so much, just house stuff. Everybody has different house rules but I'm learning.

I'll post pictures later. She takes a lot of pictures but I don't know how to attach them yet. Here she comes, it's outside time!

Hi, I'm Jackson. I have a new house, new people, and a new life.

I used to live outside on a big chain. I was there a long time and the chain hurt my neck and I was always dirty. Then some nice people took me away from that place and I was in a big building with a bunch of other dogs. The people were nice but they didn't have a lot of time to spend with me. Then, a family took me to their house. I liked it there but the people couldn't handle me. I am so happy to be alive I forget myself and tear things up. I have so much energy, I can't sit still. I like to put me head into place it doesn't belong. Basically I'm a mess.

Finally, I went to live with Miss Laurie and her family. Miss Laurie is a trainer and she taught me some things - manners, she calls them - commands, she calls them. I liked it there. She gave me lots of little kibbles whenever I did what she said to do. She gave me baths and good food and I was happy. She had these really big dogs that stayed outside but she said they weren't dogs, they were horses. I wanted to play with them, but she said NO. NO is another word I learned. It means stop doing something I want to do.

So, two days ago, Saturday 02/05/21, another lady came to see me. Her name is Miss Gail. She met with me and Miss Laurie and I ended up going to Miss Gail's house.

I will write more when I can. I have to share the computer with her and she works from home. Right now I am in the office with her but she is writing on papers. I like to rip up papers but she doesn't let me have any. I'll try to sneak some later . . .

06/02/2022

Lots of training, playing, chasing. A very sleepy boy.

06/02/2022

I have a new house, new prople, and a new bone.
