Jack Russell Love or Loath? He's Cute But He Sets the Bar High

I come across these videos on You Tube and I'm not sure if I'm amazed or perturbed. If these videos get out and the humans get some crazy idea that all doggies should do these amazing "tricks" or should I say peasant labor then we are all in trouble. My mom has already watched these videos a couple times each and she even showed them to my dad. I heard her say maybe she should spend more time training with us and then we could do cool tricks like that. What is going on here? By the way I know plenty of tricks like sit, down, shake, high five, etc... I'm already being taken to training classes. Yes, I know I'm not required to participate I've been able to observe and wiggle in the grass but what if this just keeps escalating and before you know it I'll have to work. Work !!! Ugh !!! I thought the humans were supposed to make the tea and toast, do the laundry and shopping, and take care of us. What is this world coming to.

Here are the videos if you wanna see what's got my fur all twisted.

Ok. I must admit Jesse is one cute Jack Russell Terrier.  He's smart, bouncy, enjoys yummy treats, and I think I would enjoy bouncing and romping with this little guy. (Shhh, don't tell my boyfriend - the chihuahua neighbor)  You can tell Jesse really enjoys everything he is doing.  He looks so happy and after a trick well done he's looking for his reward.  He's got a lot of talent and I would love to see  Bella learn all these cool tricks too.  I'm sure she could do them easy :)  This is yet another great example of how you don't have to use any force or physical manipulation on us doggies for us to do what you would like.  All you have to do is ask kindly and reward generously and appropriately.  Everyone deserves a paycheck for a job well done.

I am admiring his talent and his handsomeness and I'm torn between adoring him and wishing he could be my neighbor too and loathing him for causing my Mom to wanna teach us new things.  I like getting all the yummy treats when learning new things but I'd rather she just hand them to me because I'm so amazingly beautiful....which has worked very well for me so far and it's so much easier that way.  I don't confused because I can do amazingly beautiful all day ;)
