Good Friday was a very good day...

Every day is a good day when you're a terrier, right? There are always new dogs to bark at, humans to ignore, smells to sniff, things to be grumpy about...But I just knew that Good Friday was going to be an extra special day because J1 was tidying up, which let's be honest, doesn't happen often around here.

I had no idea what was in store until a car rolled up outside and J1 took me to the front door to greet our visitors. And guess who it was???? None other than my pal Asta's humans all the way from the good ole US of A. And who was with them? My square pal Eric and his humans too! My eyes nearly popped out of their head!

Here's Eric and I saying hello:



He's the pipsqueak in the photo. Remember that I'm substantial, NOT fat!

Eric then decided to take up sentry duty:



The humans were ooo-ing and ahh-ing over us both but Eric and I took it all in our stride. I even fell asleep with my head resting on Ami's foot, probably because I noticed she was wearing socks with WFTs on them!

As if the day wasn't good enough already, they then showered me with shedloads of pawtastic gifts! I made a start on destroying a chipmunk but this was swiftly removed as I am supposed to be quiet and resting after my recent stroke.


(Don't worry about the eggs, they were for the Js). I'd just like to point out that the socks are great but rather too big. What's that? They're for the humans? Oh, I thought they were for ME!

After a couple of hours J1 and our guests went out for a stroll but I was too tired to join them so I stayed behind with J2 to try out another gift, my new Cath Kidston Bandana:


(please ignore dead plant growing out of my ear. J1 says it's a work in progress)

and then dream of destroying all my lovely presents...Thank you pals for a truly pawsome day...

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).
