Bubble & Squeak - JRT x Chihuahua (Norwich, Norfolk)

by **AmyJo** Mon Aug 09, 2010 2:38 pm

Bubble and Squeak are gorgeous, tiny 10 year old Jack Russell x Chihuahuas who came into Oldies Club care because their previous owner had sadly passed away. They are now in an Oldies Club foster home in Norwich, Norfolk, waiting for someone to offer them a permanent home together.

Settled fairly easily: Bubble settled within about 4 days and Squeak just took a little longer as she is the timid one. They have been crate-trained in the past and are happy to be left alone for a few hours. They are clean in the house.

Good with dogs: Bubble and Squeak are fine with dogs and could live with other dogs as long as they are properly introduced. They would also be fine to live with children of 10 years old +. They need a cat-free home though as they will chase cats and rabbits, ducks, chickens etc!

Out and about: Bubble and Squeak are good on the lead but their recall will take a little more training. They are very good in the car and they enjoy travelling with you.

Favourite pastimes: Bubble and Squeak love lying on chairs next to you or in a sunny spot in the garden. They like to follow you around the house, wagging their tiny little tails! They also love walks on the beach and in the woods.

Frightened of… : Bubble and Squeak will shake and hide under the table or behind a chair if someone raises their voice or if there’s a loud bang. Small children are too much for them to handle as they frighten them.

Bubble and Squeak’s perfect home: Bubble and Squeak would love a quiet home, although they would be happy to live with gentle older children who would take them for a walk. Their new home will need a comfy chair next to a warm fire, for them to relax in!

Health notes: Bubble and Squeak are not yet spayed, but this will either be done whilst they are still in foster care or, if they are adopted quickly, it will need to be arranged by the adopters and the Oldies Club will pay for the spays. They are microchipped, vaccinated, wormed and flea-treated. At their vet check, Bubble and Squeak were given a clean bill of health.

Foster carer sums up Bubble & Squeak: These tiny, sweet girls are sisters who adore each other. Squeak needs confidence and Bubble will give her that, so they need to stay together. Bubble likes to play with a ball but Squeak is just happy to watch her. They both love to eat chicken, and rich tea biscuits as an occasional treat! They are very gentle little dogs who love cuddles and enjoy sitting on your lap. They have such a wonderful, loving nature that someone out there is going to be so lucky to live with them. Once these dogs bond with you (you will need to prove they can trust you), they will follow you like a shadow and will give you so much love.

Don’t they sound simply irresistible?!
