Walking the Dog
Heard about the new graphic novel that features a Wire Fox Terrier? It's called "Walking the Dog" by British illustrator David Hughes and stars his WFT Dexter.
Some of you may have already read about it cos J1 and her previous WFT, Watson, are mentioned in it and she's been blabbing about it all over the place. Take a look at her Forever Foxed blog to read more.
Anyway, the book is strictly for grown ups, not pipsqueaks, because there is some (ahem) "adult content" with a few HBO words thrown in. And it's not just a book about walking the dog even though that's the title. Confusing huh? Well, I liked the book as it was funny and a bit rude in places but as usual we got far too much of the humans and not enough of Dexter the Dog, the real hero of the piece. I'd like to know what Dexter thinks. I hope he's getting a big cut...

We may see if we can find it in the bookstore, just to add it to our collection. Muzzer is good at jumping over those HBO words when reading to WFTs with innocent ears.
(I only have one left.)

I will have to look into this Dexter the Dog book, as I collect all things wiry. In the meantime, I think you could write a terrific book, Jackson, from a canine's point of view. You have such a witty humor about your blog, I'm sure the book could be a best seller around the world. I'll buy your first copy.
Happy Tails,

Good day to you Jackon. Would you kindly be able to visit Eric's blog to read about our Scruffs Dog Show for wheelies please? I know your wheelies would love to enter.

We came by from Eric's to leave purrs and tail wags for Jackson. We hope he recovers from his stroke without any disability. He must be a tough little fighter.
Dear Jackson, our wiry friend Eric told us you had a nasty stroke.
We were so sorry to hear that but we are pleased to know you are through the critical time.
Now we are sending you the very best basset good wishes to get you well.
So there is no excuse, Jackson, you got to get well.

Jackson,
We are worried for you. We are sending you Eskie hugs and Welsh kisses. We have said a our doggie prayers, and we mentioned you. My brother has health things that aren't quite right himself. He has a new normal, and we are coming right along in our little household. Keep going, and remember food is good. Mack is funny about food, so when he gets picky, he gets Saltines.

I heard you were a bit under the weather and wanted to assure you that with all these paws sending warm thoughts your way you'll feel better in no time. Sometimes it is tough knowing that we won't get completely better because we know how sad our humans will be, isn't it? I worry so much that when my cancer takes me away that my humans will just crumble, but now since I've seen all the support offered by other furry friends through their blogs I know they're survive. ANyway, do this: put your right paw on your left shoulder (or how about your elbow?) and leave it there, now put your left paw on your right shoulder or elbow and consider yourself hugged!
Licks and wags...
