Hiking Constantia Neck Table Mountain

Hi everyone,

This weekend I went hiking up a very steep side of Table Mountain, called Constantia Neck. Holy smokes, it was so high that I was so hot that I even decided to have a little swim on my own in the lake when I got to the top.

Mom shared some of her fudge and leftover pizza crusts with me when we stopped for a pic-nic. I know how to drink water from a bottle, so it was easy for mom to give me water when I got thirsty at any time. I met lots of other doggies on the way, but there was no time for me to hang around them for too long, cause I had to keep up with mom.

By the time we got back to the car, I had a little blister on my paw, so mom is fixing it now for me, and it should be better soon. All and all, I had the best walk I have ever had in my whole life. Mom took the leash off and I was free to run as much as I wanted to. I was a very good boy and listened to mom all the time. Table Mountain National Park is the only park in the entire South Africa that allows dogs for doggie walks. Mom sez we are very lucky and she will try to take me on more hikes with her in the future.

Ive just had a shower with mom to wash off all the dirt from the mountain.

Im going to sleep now, coz Im very tired.

Hope you are all well and love you all lots and lots like jelly tots and bones.

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 ...
