Happy New Year to all my wirey friends

Happy New Year everyone!

Cape Town has had some awesome summer evenings lately. We have hardly had any wind this summer, and walks on the beach at sunset have been so much fun!

This picture was taken of me 2 days ago.

Im lucky to be taken for these long walks, unlike our neighbour who left their sausage doggie alone since 20 December. (No walks, no attention, no love, only food and water from the people next door) I saw their lights on again last night for the first time again. Glad his parents have got back from their holidays.

Im also glad my mom will never leave me for so long like that, I know her too well. Mom said she will get granny to come stay by us if she had to go away for so long.

I suppose he was better off than being shuvved in a caged kennel for 20 days... ?


Hope you get spoilt with lots of time and love from your families this year.
Lots of love
Normie

Hi! Nice to meet you - we saw your Mom on our list of Followers and found her blogs. Very cool. We think we would vote for a nice kennel, with people to play with you or at least LOOK at you all day and maybe some doggie playmates too. You should see the DOGGIE HOTEL AND SPAS that we have in Florida! They are really pretty silly ... private suites for dogs with spa service and everything!

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 ...
