Peanut is a 12-year-old Jack Russell Terrier in Lawrenceburg, KY, who needs $682 for the treatment of a uterine infection.

Peanut came into our lives through her father Skipper who was rescued from an abusive situation when he was only 6 months old. Skipper never left my side and lived a long happy life with us. He left us two daughters, Peanut and Patches (Peanut is the black and white and Patches is the white and caramel in the pictures). They were born together, nose to tail and we laughed because they looked like a tiny furry Yin Yang.

Since that day Peanut and Patches have been just as inseparable as Yin and Yang and brought a balance to our lives that leveraged away the stresses that life brings. Always bright eyed and faithful and as much of a desire to show affection to us as we do to her. True to our best friends nature she is driven to protect, even though we don't rely on her in a traditional way of work for our canine friends in today's world , she like many other dogs have adapted to protect us in different ways like soothing us after a bad day. Life is sometimes hard and unpredictable, but for us one of the most consistent things we rely on to always be there and the same are Peanut and Patches, never once hesitating to know when we need them and why we need them and simply manifested through doggie kisses and snuggles.

We can't get out much but Peanut and Patches see to that as well, they know we have a fenced back yard and are always ready to let me know that there are squirrels plotting our ultimate demise out there are we need to go stop them. They're clever enough to know though, that the truth is there's an old tennis ball out there that I can hardly resist to toss as much as they can't resist chasing it down.

Given all that she has provided to us in such a loyal and loving way it is the very least I can do to put everything I have into caring for and loving her at this time.
