She loves tummy rubs

Jackie was so cute when I tried to take photos of her today.  I only managed to get one good shot of her face before she started rolling over on the grass wanting a tummy rub!

Lovely shots.

I also like my tummy rubbed, but that’s another story altogether. Sorry, but that just sounded way too … em, on another note. We have considered getting a Jack Russel cause they are great dogs to have if you have small kids. Maybe.
