He ain't stupid, he's my brother

HC wants me to blog and tell everyone that Jack is not stupid, and that humans should not judge a book by its cover!

A couple of times at the park, HC overheard some park goers said, "oh... this is the stupid one" - pointing at Jack. These humans have the impression that just because Jack sit and stare at nothing, he must be retarded! (and of course, they think I am the smart one cos I am always running around - which I must say that they are very right ..kekekeke.)

Just the other day, this man with 2 kids came along and asked HC, "we saw you and your dogs here the other day.... is this (pointing at Jack) the stupid one?" HC had to pause for a while, and replied, "this is the not-so-active one" - trying not to hurt Jack's feeling. Then HC felt that she had to brag to the man about how good and loyal Jack is to make up for his perceived stupidity.

Anyway, after that HC had a pleasant conversation with him as he was looking to get a dog for his children. However, he admitted that he is scared of dogs since young. But these past years, he has met friends who had dogs and they had developed a special relationship with their dogs, which amazes him. They had a long talk and HC told him how certain breeds may not be suitable cos they have no experience. HC sincerely hope they can find a suitable dog and experience the same type of bond that we did.

Anyway, the point of this post is to tell everyone that - Jack is not stupid! He just doesn't like to play at the park. hehehehe

While I will certainly call Tanner a Doofus I would never say he is stupid. Jack is just different from us super cool Joey dogs.

Hi Joey,

Jack is definitely not stupid. At least he knows how to buy his way into HC's and your heart, isn't it?

Luv and licks,

Snowball

Jack is smart - he has figured out the system - you don;t need to overextend yourself to get love and pets.

You've got some patience! I would probably punch the guy in the face for calling my dog stupid. Perhaps, I might just let my JTR do the job instead.

Stupid?!??!?!? The humans themselves are dumb.

Just yesterday before my 'talk' at the childcare centre at a building near Shenton Way, a guy in business attire asked my M whether i was a JRT!!!

Eh, that's dumb. I mean, there's a difference between you and me. You're the JRT. I bet if he saw u he's ask whether ur a corgi.

DOH. Nevermind them dumb hoomans. Just care about the ones who love us.

Hi, Joey. Of course Jack is not what that man called him. For me is just adorable, like you but in a different way.
Have a nice weekend.
