Sweet Pea

12/10/1998 – 01/06/2014

Sweet Pea is digging into chipmunk holes in heaven. She died after 16 years of loving friendship with us. This page contains many of our favorite pictures of little 'Pea.

Virginia Ann looked for over three years for the perfect Jack Russell puppy - there was no standard for the breed, so you had to see both parents. Finally she found the right one. Sweet Pea loved Baileys, even going as far as to howl along with him in her little terrier throat.

A very mad Jack Russell. Sweet Pea was very protective of Virginia Ann - the fur went up if anyone came near the house. Outside, she only got mad at other dogs, and loved people.

Sweet Pea was asked to pose for a calendar assembled by the Muscogee County Humane Society. She didn't make the cover - maybe next year - but she's in there. See her top left? Here's the original picture.

Ready for the Highlands Christmas Parade to begin. A very cold day - Sweet Pea didn't last the whole parade and rode home inside Cal's jacket.

She loved the snow, but wouldn't wear any of the jackets Virginia Ann bought her - here, doing what she did every few feet, looking for rodents under the snow.
Sweet Pea
At a stable at Wesleyan College, Virginia Ann's alma mater, she got close enough to sniff a horse for the first time.

Riley on the top and Sweet Pea on the chair. Sweet Pea would not allow Riley on the chair but Riley wanted to be with her and be a friend. Their time together was limited to a single month.
Sweet Pea
Watching to make sure she isn't left behind as the car is packed in Highlands. Now she is the one going ahead of us. We will see her again one day. Little 'Pea was a great little companion - well loved and loving.
