Words of Wisdom with a Pic and a Whiff

Always best when you can learn patience and see it as a positive.

A skunk would not stop little Annie, she would be in there like a shot.

Ahh she just hasn't acquire the necessary age to have wisdom and patience will be acquired...... but terrier.........nah.........you're right neither might not come

My old dog had absolutely no patience. He had to be first, he had to be in front of first! Course he could have charged up to a skunk, played with it and left before the skunk even knew he arrived. Unfortunately his wisdom was linked to his patience

Your little Annie going to be just fine. Is she full grown yet? I lose track of time but am thinking she should size-wise be about where she will be as an adult but probably will still need to fill out.

I saw a cute little, same coloured, guy at a local rescue up for adoption in the USA. Actually saw the ad for him when I was on holiday and email but was never contacted back. Emailed again as emailing was the only way to reach them but nada.

Yes I reckon she is about as big as she will get now, but still filling out a bit more. She is near enough 8 Kg's and has been putting about 1 Kg (2.2 Lbs) each month for the last few months, but as she is now 7 months old and has replaced all her baby teeth with a nice full set of gnashers top and bottom, I reckon she is about up to size. She is typical terrier build and has very powerfull shoulders and neck and amazingly fasts bursts of speed, but although she is good on a lead I dare not let her off as she is too easily distracted and will run off to investigate any new faces she sees around us expecting a fuss, which is fine so long as they do not have a nasty dog with them that may go for her.

Has always amazed and amused me at how small dogs do not realize their size and they all seems to want to relate to the biggest and the baddest they can find. In his day mine (he had a bad history when I got him) got himself beat up a few times yet he'd never hesitate to rush right back out there to tackle (mine was a feisty want to fight type) but his size never slowed him a bit when approaching a bigger dog. Hopefully your Annie will like other dogs and want to play and then actually enjoy playing and running and having fun with other dogs.

[Horus]

Oh she is fine with other dogs and would love to play, it's just that she rushes in for a fuss to just about anyone she sees and if their dog was a bit nasty it may well attack her as she has no real sense of danger. Her latest ploy is to want to lie on my computer desk (I have two at right angles to each other) so she either jumps up onto my chair and then onto the right hand desk, or reaches up to be lifted onto it. I have had to add a small foam cotton covered mat on that side for her to lie on, so now she can look me in the eyes when I'm on the PC or she sits looking at the monitor, but at the mo she is having a nap.

I never let my old dog up and on the computer furniture. I was afraid he'd learn to type and I didn't want to be responsible for what he was posting!
