This is Zorro, I thought I would share some photos of him, it is hard even now to talk about Zorro, he was my baby, and to this day I miss him horribly!!! Zorro came to me by way of Lynn who posts on here as well, and I am forever grateful for the time I shared with this dog. He is such a huge part of where I went with terriers and who I am now, and that is no exaggeration.
Zorro, sadly as lost as a result of the very thing that makes JRTs so special, Prey drive... We went for a walk here on the farm as we often did, Zorro was running a bit ahead of the group and took off into a hollowed out log on the ground ( much like the one he is pictured in, but with only one entrance and not hollowed all the way out ) well, inside the log was a skunk and Zorro was sprayed in close tight quarters with no way to get air, I was there within a minute though it felt like hours and my Baby died in my arms as I ran for help....
Anyhow, It still hurts to this day, but his story is one I share with those I get to know because it is a part of me and who I am today and also illustrates just how driven these guys can be and how fast they can get into trouble...
Some of these pics are mine, some Lynns, and some others, many are tiny because I had a bad crash a few years and lost many but for thumbnails I had on websites and I have not had time to scan the orginals
Zorro at 3 weeks
Zorro and Bobby at about 10 or 12 weeks??
Zorro at about same age...
In the bush...
