A Jack Russell Froze Beside the Mountain of Newspaper He Made

AI imagejack russell terriernewspaperbedroom

The Jack Russell sits at the edge of a large pile of shredded newspaper, his white fur lightly dusted with ink, with one brown ear flopped forward and his dark eyes wide. The strips of paper rise in a mountain beside him, with a loop of black cable and a canvas bag peeking from behind it. A bed, a rug, and a stack of laundry fill out the rest of the cozy room.

Jack Russell Terriers have remarkable energy, a sharp mind, and a strong prey drive, and they were bred to hunt foxes and rodents. Without enough exercise, they may invent their own work, and shredding paper is a handy way to practice. Newsprint is usually not poisonous, but a dog that eats a lot may get an upset stomach, so call your vet if you are worried. A good run, a puzzle feeder, and a chance to dig or tug will keep a terrier happier.

He looks as though he has been caught in the middle of an important project, and he is waiting for someone to explain what comes next. The paper mountain is quite impressive, and he looks proud of his work. Somewhere in there is today's headline, though it will be a while before anyone can read it. His ears give a tiny flick, as though he is already planning the next project.
