My name is Norman

A message from Norman's Mom: As many of you can see (and know) my love for Norman (and all animals in general) is alot. He's growing up now and its getting time for his first trim. I have investigated stripping and I want all WFT owners to understand how strong I feel about NOT STRIPPING him and why. (the pic below can be enlarged for a wallpaper on your pc or cell phone) Why do you STRIP your Wire Fox Terrier: because they say so because everyone else does it to their WFT because its healthy because it brings out the colour because thats what you are supposed to do well, I say all of the above is -to say the least- BS: because they say so: so many people own animals and do with them what the 'breed' guidelines require for them to do. There is absolutely no reason why you have to follow the breed guidelines when it comes to stripping your dog. I say : if the animal is in any way inconvenienced or discomforted, then what THEY SAY is wrong. Its 2007. Those rules ...

Norman: eh, hellow everyone! come and see what I found! Norman: hey Sharkie, come see this...! Sharky: ok Normie. What did u find? Norman: I dunno. Look there. Im not sure what it is, maybe your genius nose can help me Sharky: Oh Normie, this is easy as pie. its what you call a mousie hole. they are these tiny little furry creatures that you are supposed to chase and catch, like ya grandma and grandpa did... before we were born Norman: oh wow! thanks Shark'. I thought you might know. Im sure there must be more in here, I can smell something... lets digg a little further. Norman: I love this place, it has so many holes all over! Sharky: Yeah, me too!

I got the hang of "the art of standing on the windowsill" like Sharky. Being a puppy, its not easy to always keep my balance yet, but I am sortof getting it right

One of my other WFT buddies tagged me for a tummy tag. So I asked mom to please take a picture of my very gorgeous tummy for you all!

This is me when I am hungry. I sit on moms foot while she is preparing my food. It helps keep mom focussed. I have these soft floppy ears that flop all over the place and when I look up my ears flop backwards.

Pardon the shocking graphics, but this was the only way I could show the world that I am now really growing up. I lost my first baby tooth today. Mom said the tooth fairy will be bringing me something nice in exhange for my tooth tomorrow. I cant wait to look under my pillow when I wake up tomorrow morning! Im going to be a big boy soon and can't wait.
