J.C. the Puppymonster

A big addition to Our House of Pets was J.C. the Puppymonster. He was a border collie and sheltie mix with some more added in. He was a frisbee catching dog and loved to play. We went hiking almost every weekend. His name stood for "Just a Canine", but quickly he showed us that it really mean "Just Crazy"! He was a really animated guy and was a lot of fun. Notice the milkbones on his paws below.
We adopted him August 28, 1999.

He loved to play catch with his soft frisbee toy or his little plastic squeeky ball. Chew toys were shown no mercy. They were shredded fast. His natural herding instict was funny with the cats. If they start to fight with each other, he runs in to see what is going on right away. He had a ton of personality and was very good with some simple voice commands and even knew some hand commands as well. He was eager to please and was a faithful companion. Cool weather was his favorite, and he really enjoyed the few snowfalls we had. We were blessed to have him come into our lives. He was a tremendous pal. We had a few extra names for him too. We called him Jay, Crazy, Schmoopy, Moopy, Moops, Buddy, Knucklehead and Knucky to name just a few.
