Unlikely Best Mates...

[tdierikx]

Pixie the Mini Foxie usually doesn't like puppies - especially larger breed puppies... but she seems to have taken a real shine to Jack the BT/Staffy pup.

Jack became ill when he was 6 weeks old, and as a result he has some neurological damage that makes him unadoptable to the public. We can't give any guarantees as to whether he may develop fits as he get older, etc. Currently, when he gets anxious/stressed/excited, his head seems to spasm to one side like a huge tic sort of effect. He is also a little weak on his right side, so he tends to fall over if he plays rough and tumble with his other puppy friends. He is hitting all other normal physical milestones, and doesn't appear to be mentally compromised at all.

He doesn't know or care that he is "special", and he's been adopted by lillypilly (who runs our rescue). They have formed a lovely bond since she was his primary carer when he was ill.

What has started to happen lately is that Pixie - lillypilly's other permanent furkid - has decided that Jack is way fun to play with, and is having her second childhood with lots of gusto... lol!

Here are some pics of the unlikely best mates...

and here's one of Jack doing his best "sit"...

and another shot of Mr Handsome, just because he's so photogenic...

Jack is a truly lovely young man... cheeky as all getout, but always up for cuddles with anyone. And as soon as he sees the cameras come out, he's there trying to be in every shot!
