A Poem of my friend Tell

Hi Tell,

I dont ever do this, but I loved your brothers' poem so much, I want everyone to see it. I hope you dont mind that I copied it onto my blog:

But you can all read more about Tell in his blog here : http://williamtellsspot.blogspot.com/


Well done to your brother, you both deserve a Noddy Badge from me!
Much Love,
Normie

This is Tell...



I'm thrilled (and humbled) that My Boy wrote a poem about me for a school assignment. It's been published in a hard cover book, too! Here it is:







My Dog, Tell
I got a present from my mother.
It was better than a brother.
It's a puppy I call William Tell.
He was the last one the breeder would sell.
He has little black polk-a-dots,
He chases squirrels and barks at rocks.
He is my dog.
I love him lots.
My silly little dog with spots.

He describes me pretty good, too, except for the silly part. Who's silly? Anyway, Mom bought a copy so we can all read it together. I like hearing my name.

Ah, thank you very much! I'm glad you like the poem and I'm happy to share.

Every terrier should have their own boy. They're the most fun!

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 ...

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 ...
