Ithaka
Hello all, I'm Ithaka, our names are probably a little strange, they all have to do with Greek Mythology. My mum saw me in a shop and thought it was a little strange that I was all white for a Jack Russell when the rest of the litter where the normal white and brown, anyway she took me home because I was just so loveable. I was so happy when I got to met my new brother and sister. Mummy took to me to puppy pre-school and it was during this time that she started to think that maybe I couldn't hear. I was taken to the vets and tests were done and it came back that I am deaf and was born deaf but otherwise a completely healthy dog. Mummy was a little upset at the thought that I would never hear anyone speak to me but I showed her that I was just as happy.
Mum found a training place that helped her to train me the hand signals so I would behave somewhat. I know the following hand signals, sit, down, stay, come (when I'm looking), heel, eat, walk, bedtime.
I have no fear whatsoever, if I think I should investigate I will unfortunately for me that is probably why I have now been attacked twice by snakes, I really don't like snakes. The first attack was quick and mum was there and rushed me to the vets so I was treated quickly and recovered. The second was very vicious and my grandad had to help get the snake off me, they really didn't think I was going to survive but I showed everyone how tough I am after three shots of anti-venom, two shots of adreliene and being on a ventilator I was allowed to go home after a week of being poked, prodded, needles going in, tubes going in. Now we have a snake survival pack at home just in case and all paddocks are off limits during summertime 
All I ever want to do is have fun and most of the time I succeed. Everyone thinks I am a very funny dog which I tend to agree with. I love meeting new people all the time and I love meeting new dogs. I love living on the farm, it's much more fun then the suburbs as I was never allowed off the lead and was never allowed to go near the front door in case I snuck out but at the farm i get to run around everywhere.
Hope to share lots more of my adventures here with everyone
