        Thanks Christine, that was a time of peace! Now they’ve been played with by an enthusiastic three year old and they’re hiding under the coffee table!

        Paddy is having a great time with the dogs - he’s making them fight! I’m exhausted keeping up! I’m glad you like Dexter, I love him!

      I found the pattern by searching on Ravelry for Jack Russell and was directed to a free download from yarnloops.com

        Great tip Dianne - you can get the greyhound as well! Naturally I’ve downloaded both and if Paddy has a nap, I might get started, hahaha.
