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 ...

Wire Fox Terriers do not have to be stripped

Why do I insist on the following fact: Wire Fox Terriers DO NOT HAVE TO BE STRIPPED. Yes, you can strip them, its a nice feeling for them (sometimes, if the stripper knows what they are doing), but I firmly believe that there is no harm in clipping them. According to my opinion, the outcome of stripping vs clipping is the following: Stripping: The dog is ready for a dogshow. Clipping: The dog is not ready for a dogshow. What do I think of Dogshows? - The owner gets all the credit (Thats MY dog! ...which I PAID A LOT of money for) - A social status symbol. OK appologies, thats the nasty side of me coming out.) - However, being more realistic - If there were no dogshows (with dog breed rules), we would have a mass of nasty and or ugly dogs bred all over the place and no control over our precious varourite breeds. A endless Dog Breed War like in the 18th century. Luckily they dealt with all the fighting, now we just have to try and keep the dogs pure bred. My Conclusion: Dogs should be t...

RIP Normie Feb 2007 - Apr 2009

To all Normie's friends out there, It was a very difficult and sad decision that I made today. Normie's seizures have progressively worsened over the past few months and his recent episodes just did not want to end. He started seizuring at 17h30 on Tuesday 7 April 2009, and they got longer and every single time. I had him at the vet 3 times and then he stayed overnight again last night, but when he got home today, he was running into walls and looking strangely at his toys. It was obvious that the brain damage started and he continued his fits until I had him back at the doctor at 16h00 today. By recommendation from the doc and my own trauma of seeing all this, we decided it would be better to have him put to sleep. I will miss his love. I will miss his laughter. I will miss his wagging tale. I will miss his devoted love to me... he followed me every step that I made. The loo, the shower, the bath, the kitchen, the bedroom, even when i mowed the lawn... 100% devoted to ...
