t is for tilly




Tilly is the best thing that has ever happened to me. She is a 6 pound , hairy ball of energy. She is my dog. Tilly is 16 years old. She has a white coat with brown spots on her face and and tail. She is a pure bred Jack Russel terrior. They were first bred by Reverend John Russell, a parson and hunting enthusiast born in 1795. He bred the dogs to have a high stamina for chasing foxes and have the courage and build to go down fox holes to get the fox during hunts. It was important that the terrier did not hurt the fox during the chase as this was considered unsportsmanlike.
Now for my dog's history. She was born on june ninth, 1995. I think she was the smallest one of the litter ,the term for that is the runt , but she never backed down. She would fight anything. She even fought a rabbit but the rabbit won and Tilly has a big scratch on her nose for a few weeks. She learned her lesson until she took on a German Shepherd. Tilly chased the shepherd and thought she had won until the dog new he was bigger. well thets my dog memo bont attak a digger dog
