I met this scrumptious little lady recently when she was waiting patiently outside Purple Cactus for her human, Victor.

Dog: Buggy is a Jack Russell / Boston Terrier mix. “We got her from some traveling christian singers who had a litter of puppies, Buggy was the runt. Her original name was Baghera, as in the panther from the Jungle Book, but we abbreviated it and Buggy stuck. She’s 7 years old – whenever I tell people her age, they assume I’m talking about months and not years.”

Does your J.P. Dog have any funny quirks, odd behaviors, or defining characteristics?

“She loves to chase squirrels and has actually caught one or two in our backyard, as well as mice and other rodents. She used to have a napoleon complex, but after messing with a few dogs too many and getting put in her place by them she gained a healthy perspective on her size.”

Your J.P. Dog’s favorite outdoor spots in J.P.? 

Her favorite place is the arboretum. She knows the word arboretum and the phrase “You wanna go for a walk?” and gets very excited when she hears them.”
