Substantial Wires' Club
Calling all Wire Fox Terriers. Are you tired of people (OK, usually vets) saying "isn't he/she BIG for a fox terrier?" Do you tower head and shoulders over every other WFT that you meet? Is your weight a sensitive subject with your owners? If so, read on...
Applications are cordially invited for membership to the Substantial Wires' Club. Sorry, but no tiddler or pipsqueak WFTs under 12kg (26.5lb) accepted. Them's the rules!
Membership entitles dogs to display the Substantial Wires' Club logo proudly on their blog. They will also be granted the right to supersize everything. That means bigger and better toys, and more importantly bigger snacks and keep 'em coming. After all, we've got to keep our strength up, somehow.
Any blogging or non-blogging WFT wishing to join can email me their photo along with their vital statistics and I'll include them in our membership log and post their photo on our new blog (click here to take a look). See right hand side of the page for email details.
Suggestions for other fringe benefits will be carefully considered by the board, (ie me).

I hope no-one starts one for Airedales as I fear I'd easily make the grade!

Sign me up!! I was weighed yesterday - 14.5kgs or 32lbs. Let me know if you need a photo...and tell us when we can post the logo on our blogs. Finally, BIG is BETTER (oops, don't tell my mom, she is only 4"11 and waaaay under 100lbs).

PS Think its a guy thing? Any big chick-wires out there?
Hi, Jackson!
You had a great idea! I am thinking that you will have a Club with lots of memebers!
I am not a wire but my vet is always saying that I am fat!
Kisses and hugs
Lorenza
You're such a smarty pants, Jackson! Oh, I'm very sure many many many WFTs are gonna join your club. Can we non WFTs join too? Maybe have one section for Non-WFT's member. Hee!
Love licks,

Way to go Jackson. If we were wires we'd be in for sure.
Hugs and tail wags

Great idea, Jackson! We're sure you will get lots of members! If somedog starts one for Airedales, we think we would qualify.
Aire-hugs,
Poppy & Penny
You just gave me a great idea!
See I am 28 pounds and that is really big for a Boston Terrier (it's all muscle though).
The Substanial BT group. I love it!
Okay, count me in, too. I'm over your load limit, but I consider myself "leggy". Too bad Cap doesn't quite make the poundage, because he's a very chunky monkey.

sigh.. I am not even CLOSE to becoming a member. I am a pipsqueek. I only weigh 22 lbs. Well, I still wish you luck, pal. Our mother would fit in quite nicely, along with Katherine. BOL. They are substantial, even if they are not WFT!
Hey,
We thought we were going to be charter members too -- but now we're a pound or two shy of this arbitrarily established mark!!!
Just like everything else in life -- the "middle class" gets it in the "rump."
We're too big to be carried in a sherpa and fit under the seat of an airplane -- and too small to be part of this snappy new club.
Have you thought about having associate members -- or "emerging" members???
We may be contating our attorney...
Jake (24 pounds)and Just Harry (24.5 pounds)
Oh man... I'm a total 'pipsqueak' hahahhaha!
Jackson you are always on the cutting edge!
Loves,
Tofu
He he he Jackson. I think this is a great idea. If there was one of these for Airedales, I'd be a member for sure. My agility teacher called me 'husky'. he he!
Your pal,
Kirby
Jackson

Jackson,
This is the best idea yet.
I am definitely in since I am a substantial wire. Oh boy am I ever.
Romeo
Jackson,
Well like my brother I too am joining this group since I am a big boy and proud of it. I think this is a great idea.
Ozzy
I want in Jackson but last time I was weighed I was nearly 11 kilos.I look fairly big when I haven't been stripped, does that count?
I've been stocking up over winter though so will do my best to join you big boys.Love the membership badge!
Give me treats Mom- lots.
Wiry wags, Eric
Sigh. No I cant join. Not only short, I am now non-substantial.
If I ate a lot of rocks and then stepped on the scale would that be considered cheating?

Gee Jackson are ya really over 26.5 pounds? Not that I'm sayin' there's anything wrong with that....but are ya really? And all the other guys are chiming in as being that substantial too..wow and my Gram thought I was heavy at 19 pounds, my Mom is 19 pounds too( she needs to loose weight) and Toby is 16 pounds...can we be associate members? please.....
We can eat more...really we can....
Dewey Dewster here.....
Hmmm,
This gives me something to strive for. More table scraps, treats, and exercise or dieting and exercise? I will have to talk to Mom and try to sway the easy parent.
Luna Licks,
Looney-tunes
Rocks...a backpack with a lot of rocks...
Jackson...I only please don't laugh...weigh...um....
17 pounds...and I gained a pound from last Christmas...I was 16 something then...
Perhaps I will form the Skinny Wire's Club....woe is me...
Associate membership application, please???
Scruffy
that's so cool that you big boned WFTs have your own club. clubs are fun and it sounds like you have a lot of members.
woofs.
Jax!
I LOVE your club, and applaud you for empowering big boned wires everywhere! I've got a feeling that we'll be seeing some Wires start porking out just so they can join!
Goober love & smooches,
Stanley
Jackson

You wewe a much easiew patient
smoochie kisses
Asta
how i wish i'm a wire
What a great idea. I need to do that for boxers. I am always getting comments about how big I am just because I'm pretty tall for a boxer.
Jackson
I was listening weally hawd..I'm suwe I heawd you bawking in suppowt..tjank you and thank youw Mom!!
It was a big success thanks to evewyone's help...did you heaw about the tewwific wuling in the Lapowt Wiwe's case in Montweal! The scum bag will NOT get any dogggies evew!
smoochie kisses
Asta
Hi Jackson,
I like your club and I think it's a great idea, but I am so embarrassed to be the only girl. Can I join if I whisper to you what I weigh? I don't want the whole world to know. I am so shy. Maybe I shouldn't join after all. Maybe I should just hide.
Love and Koobuss Kisses,
Koobie
OK, sigh, rules are rules. Mom keeps telling me I'm a roly poly porky dog -- but I guess not roly poly enough to be part of the club. Sigh.
On the other paw, Just Harry is turning into a real lunker and he may be eligible before long.
We still think this is discriminatory, but we've decided not to sue 'cause we love, love, love you all.
Jake
Hey Jackson,
I'm glad you started this club as a bright shining example for WFTs everywhere, and for their PEOPLE to see what WFTs should be like. I am only 21 pounds, but I used to be over 23 pounds. I got my summer haircut and my mom realized that I was too skinny, and that they hadn't been feeding me enough every day!!!! So I think at least 6 pounds would do me good.
Your friend, Lenny
