BILLY-GOAT JACK

My big old dog Jack is aging rapidly. Little did I know he'd begin to turn into a billy- goat!

Every chance he gets these days, he goes into the yard and starts pulling up grass by the roots. He comes back to our front door with the grass and roots hanging out of his mouth like a billy-goat's beard!

Not exactly the premier image the average purebred doberman might want to project. But Jack seems, as always, totally unconcerned about his image.

R.A.T. (Rose About Town) loves this silly dog despite his eccentricities. Or maybe because of them; who knows.
