OCD And Other Issues


Those of you who know us know that when we go camping that there is about a 95% chance of rain. It used to be 100%, but two years ago we had a sunny weekend. Our luck for choosing pets is about the same. Whoever we bring home has to be slightly irregular. We haven't had a pet yet that hasn't had issues.

Mandy is no exception. The second day we had her, we noticed that she was biting into the air repeatedly at nothing. It seemed that anytime she got excited she would do this.


At her first visit to the vet, we asked about it and were told that it was OCD which is not uncommon for high energy dogs like Jack Russels. Go figure we would pick out a slightly irregular pet. That's okay though, because she fits right in.

When we first brought Mandy home, she couldn't climb the three steps out front. Only a week later, she's up on top of the end table (above).

To the left she's staring down a raisin that never had a chance. She quickly used her tongue to scoop it up.
