Tired of Lola pictures? Just don't look.

In case you did look here is what happens when I need a break. LOL.
She can be incredibly wild - hard to believe when you look at that tiny little baby.........



It won't be long and she will run up and down the steps. Yesterday, after carefully looking down from the top of my bed, and walking around and examining the other sides, she made me feel OK that she understood the distance is three times her length and not safe. Would be a jump of 16 and a half feet for me.
Then she took a deliberate flying leap.
Thank goodness she was just a little stunned.

That's a wonderful photo of her at the bottom of your gorgeous staircase. She does look small!

That, however, is an optical illusion! She may be small in size, but her spirit and her energy are anything but!

Best of luck.............to you both!

People familiar with this Group invariably comment on the distinctive terrier personality. These are feisty, energetic dogs whose sizes range from fairly small, as in the Norfolk, Cairn or West Highland White Terrier, to the grand Airedale Terrier. Terriers typically have little tolerance for other animals, including other dogs. Their ancestors were bred to hunt and kill vermin. Many continue to project the attitude that they're always eager for a spirited argument. Most terriers have wiry coats that require special grooming known as stripping in order to maintain a characteristic appearance. In general, they make engaging pets, but require owners with the determination to match their dogs' lively characters.

PARSON RUSSELL TERRIER
Bold, friendly, athletic, and clever.

is a Jack Russell Terrier shorty. The woman who bred her said that she is bred for close companionship and for doing less of the hunting and digging than Jack Russell Parsons dogs.
Remember the movie "The Artist"? The dog in that movie which was with the cast on the stage accepting the Oscar for Best Movie? The dog everybody said helped them win best movie? That's the kind of dog Lola is. A training challenge.

Snowy has never liked stairs. I had to bribe her with food to get her to go up/down the stairs (she was 3 years old when she came to us)
in the house where we were living when I brought her home.
