This One Is For CJ

Anyone want a 6 month old Australian Heeler? I will ship him anywhere in the US and will even punch holes in the box if I am in a good mood! Jack is driving me crazy - I will take dealing with ASD over Jack the puppy any day of the week. Yesterday, our wonderful pup figured out he can jump the chain link fence of our front yard. I found out as Shane, Kassidy and I were taking Sunset (our perfect little weiner dog that is an angel) for a walk and I heard Jack come running up behind me about two house away from ours. This of course set Kassidy off into panic mode because Jack was loose. Luckily we were in front of the house of neighbors we knew so I told the kids to stay put in their yard, do not follow Jack (in case he went into the street) while I ran home to get another leash - ok I walked really fast (ok - I walked!). When I got back with the leash we had to then catch Jack, not an easy thing to do. Everytime I would reach for him he would run across the street (once in front of a car who lucky had a very attentive driver). And then I have Kassidy screaming in the background that Jack is loose and catch him and Shane yelling at Kassidy that mommy is trying, calm down. Finally, I caught the brat by his tail, (good thing he has one) and got the leash put on him. Crisis over, right? Not if you know us - then I get the kids fighting over who gets to hold Sunsets leash. Well since Shane only weighs 40 pounds and if he walked Jack he would literally be drug down the street and Kassidy weighs 91 pounds I ask Kassidy if she wants to hold Jacks leash - I know, what was I thinking. Within 30 seconds I see Jack run past me with the leash trailing behind him. UGH!!!! After another 5 minutes I finally catch the escape artist and I hold the leash FOR THE REST OF THE WALK. Then Kassidy thinks I hate her because she let go so we spend half of the walk trying to convince Kassidy that I don't hate her and she is not stupid and useless. So much for a nice peaceful walk! We make it home eventually and Shane and I stay outside to play in the front yard. I step into the house for 10 seconds and come back out and I see a lady looking petrified pushing a baby stroller and walking a dog across the street from our house and a man in our driveway cornering Jack. I apologize and the guy says Jack didn't attack them, but they didn't know at first when he jumped the fence if he was nice or mean. So I thank him and apologize again and take Jack by the collar back into our yard. He then sees the nice family continuing on their walk and goes beserk and in the process slices my arm with his nails. So now I have blood running down my arm (thank goodness Kassidy was in the house and didn't see it) and a dog that was about to be snipped without going to the vet. And then I have my caring son look at me and say, "Just put a bandaid on it and you will be fine!" Thanks Doctor Shane, I will get right on that. Now daddy comes outside to see what all the hub bub is about and while he was out front with us a man on a bike came down the street with a dog on a lease. We just sat there and watched as Jack jumped and cleared the gate with such elegance like he was a professional gate jumper. It truly was beautiful to watch. Even the guy on the bike had to stop and said, "Wow, that was amazing." So now we have a dog that can escape at any time. Again, anyone want him  - I promise I will ship him overnight, maybe...
