I’m glad you’re working it out! This is a good reminder for everyone with kids and pets. A lot of bites or bad behavior with dogs and kids really is because young kids can often be rough with pets. And while yes the pet needs to be disciplined too and learn not to react aggressively, kids need to be taught to pet gently, don’t pull ears or tails, don’t take a toy or food from their mouth etc. the pets are ultimately animals with behaviors that are normal in their world and some will be more reactive than others.
Agreed! Ultimately Jackie/dogs can also be territorial, which was our case and if blood is shed that can be considered child abuse and imprisonment for parents and putting a dog down, both which we’re grateful didn’t happen ✨✨✨
🙂 Just teach Saga not to play with her face and give her the space! I wonder if Jackie has mixed feeling since 9 long months. Poor Jackie about what she went through. Don’t do that again to our fan Jackie. She could get sicker. Welcome back, Jackie.
It's so good to see her back!!! It was very sad when she left because she's a family member, she's been with Maya for so many years. I guess Jackie went for a "gap year abroad" and now she's back to work the land on the countryside 🤣❤️😊
I remember watching that sad video of you taking Jackie to her new home. I was crying buckets right along with you. I’m so happy that your furry child is back home with you all. I pray that she will live the rest of her life being loved and taken care of by Saga & you. I enjoyed the video. See you all next time. God Bless.
So glad that Jackie is back🤗 I think that the finger ‘bite” was more due to Jackie’ lack of vision. When senior dogs lose some of their vision and hearing you just adjust for that. Not coming up behind her and touching her but come in front of her. Waking her up by blowing gently on her face which will wake her up gently instead of touching to wake up. I have night lights set up around our house so when/ if she gets up in the middle of the night for water she can see better. Usually it’s night vision they have a problem with. Again, so glad that Jackie is back home❤
Blindness and deafness is common in older Jack Russells. Nutrients make a big difference and the stress of being taken away from her family after so many years would have taken a toll. I really hope it works out and if not I would put her down before moving her again.
My Jack Russell, Stickers, was 18 years old when she passed and she too had selective hearing in her older years but that was her only real ailment in all those years. We called her Old Lady Stickers 😂
Maya ❤ You have transformed yourself so many times. You moved halfway across the world, gotten married, started a family, left everything behind, bought an amazing home and so many other accomplishments. She is the last slice of home that you have with you ❤️ she is your comfort, she is here to stay. Maya, you needed this and you guys as a family made the right decision.
YAAAY WELCOME BACK JACKIE! You made a decision to keep them both safe and happy. Now, Saga is old enough to understand how to be gentle and learn boundaries. I think this was a good decision. You’re very careful and you know Jackie better than anyone else! She’s part of your family and this new dynamic will be good for all of you. These challenges will teach Saga some great lessons about caring for others and understanding animals. Keep it up, lovelies! 💜
Patience with both Jackie and Saga. A nip on the finger is different than a full blown bite. Wishing you both a great deal of luck. It’s so lovely that Jackie can end her life with her original mama.
I’m not even done watching the video and I’m in tears already but I had to pause the video to tell you… MAYA!!! I know you probably know this but if not GOD put it in my spirit to tell you, YES!! JAckie is back!! GOD brought Jackie back to you, you made a sacrifice when you gave Jackie away wanting her to have the life you were unable to give her, BUT GOD brought her back!! IN HIS PERFECT TIMING!! And now Jackie will spend to rest of her golden days living them out with you, max & SAGA!!! Full circle ❤️🙏🏻 GOD is good ALL the time!! Thank you LORD for bringing Jackie back to this beautiful family!! LOVE YOU GUYs!! Thanks for sharing!! GOD BLESS US ALL!! AMEN & AMEN!! ❤🙏🏻🙌🏼
You know I broke down crying when I saw the video of you rehoming Jackie not only bc she is your baby and it’s just a hard thing to do in general but I was pregnant at the time and also have fur babies and thought I was going to have to do the same! So I was sobbing watching the video,thinking I’m going to have to give my Ringo away bc he’s pretty aggressive and very territorial. Right now my babe is 8months old and so far Ringo has snapped at my babe once. He’s a chihuahua so luckily the bite was a weak one but I was like OMG my worst nightmare has happened. Right now we just make sure she doesn’t get near him but we’re trying our best to train him to be a good boy so I just pray we never have to rehome him. Seeing this video makes me so happy for you and also gives me hope! ❤
This can work out as long as you monitor interactions. Most dogs don’t likely hugs, especially from a toddler. There are a lot of great resources teaching kids and parents how children should safely interact with dogs. There are going to be mishaps. Learn from them and move on. Jackie deserves to live out the remainder of her life with the people she loves, and with time and proper instruction Jackie will grow to love Saga.
😩I love you sis and love Jackie and Max & Saga…I’ve been following your journey almost since the first Shameless Maya video AND I WILL NEVER EVER get used to you calling Jackie and “Trick” ‼️😭😩
I have an older Chihuahua as well. Her name is Minnie. She had her moments and sometimes she doesn't want to be bothered. However now that my son is 3 almost 4 and Minnie is 11 they love each other. She is his dog and he takes care of her. I think it took some time for her to completely understand that he is a part of her pack now and she is very protective of him.
OMGoodness! Thank you so much for sharing this update with us. When I tell you I sobbed real tears when you had to give Jackie away! I have two chihuahuas, one is super sweet and the other hates everyone. I don't have any children (yet) but I am concerned about introducing children into our household one day. I'm so happy you all are reunited.
You got this! You already monitor them closely. Never let her feed her or hug her too closely/ tightly or put her face to hers, grab or approach from behind as she’s going blind and deaf. Saga can do more damage then Jackie ever could but Jackie knows how to not go all out in defense. Nips will happen but nothing likely too major. It’s pretty easy once you get those things covered. Things are easier once Saga gets older. I’d say the rules will relax as they get older but these are Jackie’s last years. My chihuahuas all had a sudden decline in sight and hearing and mobility in their last 3-5 years just like Jackie. Enjoy this time and soak up the memories watching Saga grow and Jackie move through her golden years back with her family. New parents being afraid and stressed is one of the number one reasons dogs in particular small dogs end up in shelters. It’s not as hard as it seems and y’all are proving that.
Dogs usually growl or bark when actually biting and mostly give a warning. I don’t think Jackie was aggressive I think it sounds like a food related over enthusiastic grab. I do think you can make it work and yes I agree, Saga needs to be told and learn. So happy to hear you have her back.
Welcome back Jackie! My dog passed away in December after 12 yrs w/ me since he was 9 weeks old...through divorce, 8 moves - he was my therapuetic pet and i didnt even know it 😅 lol. I wish i could have him back. Dogs are so special. So glad Jackie gets to be back home to have these precious moments in time with you all.
Absolutely beautiful. I know this is 6 months old now but I’m still going to say it… Welcome Home Jackie❤️ this really made my heart happy for all 4 of you. Much love❤️🇨🇦
I promise you, it will all work out. I'm so happy that she gets to spend her golden years with y'all. Just have patience, Jackie is setting her boundaries and watch out for those ques. Respect is all with pups. Also, with senior pups, be more gentle when holding them, walking them etc. so make sure Saga does respect her boundaries. My senior pups have a stroller now lol.
I couldn't watch the previous video because it hurt to much as a pet owner and as a watcher of you Maya, but I'm sooo happy she's back and she can age gracefully with you and your family :)
Welcome back Jackie! I think you guys will be able to make it work. Saga and Jackie just have to learn each other. As the dog mom of an older, half blind, half deaf dog, they mellow out eventually.
This is the best thing I have seen today! Jackie is back. Please don’t give her away again. If you have to separate her and the baby just do that but work it out. Jackie was literally your road dog Maya and you didn’t give her an opportunity to get use to the new dynamic.
I cried with y’all 🥹 the video of you giving her away was so difficult to watch. & now I have happy tears. So glad things worked out for her to come back & hoping for the best with Jackie & Saga’s growing relationship!
This video made me miss my Jack Russel 😢 I’m so happy your dog Jackie gets to spend more time with Saga. I always wished my daughter could’ve met my dog. 😭 💔 RIP Reetta 🧡 the sweetest dog who ever lived
❤❤❤ this warmed my heart so stinking much!! I have thought of Jackie often when seeing you guys and so glad she is back with her family and will spend the rest of her life there
Be aware of her getting arthritis- Saga could accidentally touch her in a painful leg- from experience dogs bite back bc they are in pain. Glad to have Jackie back.
"WELCOME BACK TRICK!!!!!!!" We missed you Jackie!
Welcome back!!!
I could literally cry!!! We missed Jackie! We're like Jackie's cousins in youtube world lol
Awww!!!! We’re happy that it’s working out!
Yay! I'm glad Jackie is back. Saga will love having Jackie around, especially being an only child. ❤
We’re glad to have her back and see the joy on Saga’s face 😍🐶🙏🏻🙏🏾💕
I think Max is right about "Aunt Jackie"! 😄 Glad to see her back home, and glad to see the smiles on Maya and Max's faces because of it.
WELCOME HOME JACKIE! Seeing Maya saying goodbye really got to me so I am soooo happy for you.

I hope Saga and Jackie become best friends!! I'm so happy for your family💙
Saga definitely love Jackie and Jackie.. well she’s too old to be bothered 😂

Jackie is 13 years old and we don’t expect her to change but Saga will and pickup on her cues 🙏🏻🙏🏾💕
Your smile wasn’t the same since Jackie was gone and now it’s back!!!! I can see the happiness in your face.

This makes me so happy as though Jackie is my dog... I love the fact that she is back. Good to see you "Sweet" Jackie.
Awww we love the love Jackie gets here
Awwww this just warmed my heart so much! Welcome back our favorite trick, Jackie! ❤
Our fave trick is back!! 🥹

I agree especially if she doesn’t see well. I do hope they can work through things.

Love how much Max's family is involved in your lives!
It truly is so special
Welcome back, Jackie!!!! This is great news. ❤
I cried soooo much when you gave her away, and now I’m crying happy tears😭I’m so glad and it is amazing you had the opportunity to get Jackie back❤
Welcome back Trickkkkkkk! I think it's special that she's spending this chapter in her life with her family 💜

So happy to see the Trick again. Seeing Jackie back reminds me of how far you have come Maya. So happy for your family, stay blessed beautiful family.
I promise you, it will all work out. I'm so happy that she gets to spend her golden years with y'all.
Just have patience, Jackie is setting her boundaries and watch out for those ques. Respect is all with pups. Also, with senior pups, be more gentle when holding them, walking them etc. so make sure Saga does respect her boundaries. My senior pups have a stroller now lol.

Can't lie, That trick Jackie is Iconic. I love this for you all!
“I am just an icon living” said the trick! 😂🐶
Welcome back Jackie! I think you guys will be able to make it work. Saga and Jackie just have to learn each other. As the dog mom of an older, half blind, half deaf dog, they mellow out eventually.
We’ve seen she’s much more chill, still aggressive at times but Saga is learning 💕
Literally crying with happiness that that trick is back. Congratulations!!!!!!
This is the best thing I have seen today! Jackie is back. Please don’t give her away again. If you have to separate her and the baby just do that but work it out. Jackie was literally your road dog Maya and you didn’t give her an opportunity to get use to the new dynamic.
Jackie is home for good. We’ll work with our family to help out 🙏🏻🙏🏾💕
I’m so happy for you! A broken home is a broken home. I could never… I’m so glad things worked out. God bless and keep you all safe.
Whew! I sure did cry. Lol. So happy she's back. Now I can go watch the "Giving Jackie Away" episode.
