Hiking Doggie

Hello friends,

I was super excited when mom decided to take me on a hike with her today up a place called Lions Head, which is next to Table Mountain.



This is uncle Pete and aunty Dani... they were really nice to me all the way, helping me up and down places that were too hard for me to climb.



It became very hot...



and shady spots came in very handy...



That is a place known as Camps Bay at the bottom!



More shade and a welcome break for us...





This spot is known as Clifton beach... mom sez it get super busy down there on warm days.



The hill behind me is known as Signal Hill. I live on the other side of that ocean that you see in this pic below.






The place behind uncle Peter is known as Sea Point



This was me enjoying the shade of a flowery bush.



there were so many flowers here... way more than in mom's garden. If I could spend more time here, I would love to dig them up a little too and see whats underneath them!



almost at the top... we turned around here, it was just a little too hot for me mom sed.



on our way down...



boy, was I glad to be back in the cool car!



Mom promised to bring me back and take me to the top on a cooler day. I cant wait for that day.

Love,
Normie

Hi Norman,

you're such a lucky doggie to live near places like this. We don't travel very far as I am still a little puppy, and I can't wait to get out of the car and sniff around, but we will go for longer trips as soon as I am such a nice big and well-bred doggie as you are. Till then we often go to big big parks and take walks on the shore of Lake Balaton -- what a pity doggies aren't allowed in the water! (But those pesky swans and gulls are! Can you imagine?)

Woof!

Stripping a WFT is Cruel !

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 ...

My trip to see the Flowers in Langebaan

Hello everyone! Guess where we went today!? You gotta believe it... ... to see the flowers in Langebaan. Jippeee! The west coast of Southern Africa becomes a floral paradise towards the end of our South African winter. Doggies from all over the world come here for endless sniffing and playing. There are so many flowers this time of year, we dont know where to sniff. Boogie and I were not too sure where to start sniffing. There are also lots of mousie holes around here... eh... just a mo, I think I found something here. Lets go to the water Boogie? The Langebaan lagoon is declared a nature sanctury. Mom sez this is where she comes often during the windy summers. I look forward to coming back here then. That seagul swims way faster than we thought :-( "Not to worry, Normie. You will be able to chase many more in time to come, believe me" After a long hard day of sniffing, swimming and playing, we eventually get back into the car and take the hour drive back to Cape Town. So ...
