Rambo has finally found a loving home

Mom and I went to visit Rambo today. Rambo has found himself a loving home and a new name. His new name is now Pluto . This is Pluto and Courtney having fun in the garden. The reason for his new name, is because the Patrick family already have a Rambo in the family. They decided that the name Pluto would be the best name for the change that needed to be made. The K9 family in this home is (from left to right) Pluto, Toby, FireChief (at the far back) and Sam the leader of the pack - lazing herself by the pool. Toby loves to play with his tennis ball, and has taken on full responsibility for Pluto. Pluto had to give up his name Rambo because it belongs to the rooster in the penn. This is Rambo - the rooster. Courtney's mom (Lisa) is talking to Little Cameo the pony. Pluto loves his new family and home on a small holding in Houtbay, Cape Town. He also sleeps in Courtney's room (next to her bed) on his own comfortable doggie pillow. This is what I call landing with your bu

Stripping a Wire

Message from Norman's Mom: Herewith an article that I found which is very informative regarding stripping your dog. I still however disaggree with the facts of WHY they MUST be stripped vs clipped. I still feel that this method has no scientific relevance to the health of the dogs coat, but is purely for aesthetics and the overall image the OWNERS wish to maintain for their wire haired doggies. Incorrect (private / home) grooming has brought me be so concerned about the (mental and physical) health of the animals. I am also still very concerned about the grooming methods in general that professional show dogs have to endure for the "pleasure" of their owners. If muzzles need to be used, then I question the method. A dog does not bite for nothing, and that is a scientific fact nobody can question. _________________________________________________ Stripping: Reveal Your Wirehaired Dog's Show Quality Coat By: Renae Hamrick, RVT Source : www.PetPlace.com Do you have

The Perfect Spot

Hello all! U gotta see this. This is my latest spot where I like to hang out. I found this perfect spot just by chance when I was doing my normal sniffing rounds around the house (while mom was in the shower). This is where I can talk to mom while she is showering or doing her make-up. Now I dont have to sit on the floor looking up at her any more. We can now talk eye to eye. While I am here, I sometimes also have a quick chat to the funny looking (lonely little) mutt living next door. He's cool. Getting up here is easy as bones. Well, it goes like this: You jump on the closed toilet seat, (I dont climb up if its open), then you aim for the stern behind the loo, then a quick jump and Im ontop. Getting down is sometimes a bit slippery, but I've 'waxed' it now perfectly. Try it! Try it, its such fun. Wirey Hugs, Normie xxx

TeddyBear Time

Today is the best day ever! I have officially been given the big teddy bear to play with. Mom sez Im big enough to play with big toys now. These are just a few of my toys left over, because I ate all the others. And they tasted really yummie! Some toys are very special, because they just seem to last for ever. This is my rogz surfing dog. Oh boy! I hope Sharky understands body language. See you all again soon. All my love, cuddles and licks (kisses) Normie xxx
