Jack the Jack Russell Terrier: The mastery of true meaning of life 
Jack has exercised an attitude of complete entitlement with complete successClick on headline or photo for complete story By Celia Downey I have this dog named Jack who is beyond pitifully spoiled. Jack is a Jack Russell Terrier; imagine that, who was adopted at four weeks old, some years ago. Jack is black and white and weighs about 22 pounds laden on his frame of about two hands high. Without doing the math I think his body mass index (BMI) is over the moon, making him uninsurable. Anyway, Jack has this feeling of complete entitlement in that he does not have to do anything to get everything that his heart desires. He lies around in a temperature controlled environment watching TV and/or the cars go by. He frequently goes out, under supervision, to visit with his animal friends and to remind them all of his territorial boundaries. If he wants something, Jack will make "goo-goo eyes", like squinting, staring, and yowling at us until, miraculously, it is discovered the desires of his heart. What a blessing for all. His hunger is constantly abated with convenient easily accessible snacks/food and any all foods brought into the house. He has his own everything; bed, crate, chair, couch, viewing windows, run of the house, and toys. Oh, yes the toys. Jack has a toy box full of toys, about 20 or so and each one has a name. So I say to Jack, "Jack, where is Wilson?" spurting him into full throttle. The rapid tapping of his toes fills the air while Jack runs throughout the house looking for Wilson, his favorite ball. We think that Wilson is a good name for Jack's ball. Jack, in all of his fatness, does participate in many activities like jumping onto a couch or going up the stairs to sleep. Jack is so dedicated to exercise that he even throws his bunny rabbit toy or any toy down the stairs so that he can leap down to bring the toy back to the top of the stairs. Repetition at its finest. Jack is completely focused and can repeatedly perform his exercise at 0200 am while ignoring the exhausted shouts of "STOP THAT JACK!" Jack is very dedicated to exercise and to play regardless of the time or the absence of sunlight. The family has decided that Jack has a meaningful vocabulary because we understand him and he understands us. He calculates what words to ignore from us. We communicate with Jack, we "get" Jack; therefore, Jack gets whatever he wants, without any effort, and at the moment of his heart's desires. Instant Gratification without effort, the true meaning of life. - CELIA This story was posted on 2015-05-10 16:18:23
