Huge high five to Hill's pet food for this adorable marketing ploy. It ranks right up there with our vet who also sends mail addressed to the dogs by name and surname. Super cute!
It's hilarious that the writing style and paw prints are pretty much spot on for Buttons...if she could write of course. Then again, this is a dog who I'm certain has the brain of a genius. For example, she's learnt how to build her own forts out of scatter cushions. Not only do they provide warmth and concealment, they also serve as protection and space dividers from Rhapsody. Clever solution to an annoying problem!
Many people have asked if we're concerned about Buttons' reaction to the baby because female Jacks are known to be rather jealous and possessive of their owners, particularly female owners. We're not at all worried. She's an easy-going dog and doesn't require constant attention. While Buttons is extremely affectionate, fortunately, she's also quite independent; a perk from her being the runt of her litter.
I've been making an effort to bond with her because she won't be the baby in our house for much longer. She's shown no awareness of the pregnancy like Rhapsody has (R's new trick is to sniff my belly right where Wren is lying) but I'm glad she still wants to cuddle up with me. I just don't want her to feel left out. Between Hurricane Rhapsody and a newborn, it would be so easy to overlook the quiet little Jack Russell who faithfully waits at doors, fetches socks and her rope toy on command and who loves and protects her family fiercely, even if she is the smallest member of our household.
