Let me introduce you to........

So good to see you back on line.
I think you are going to have lots of fun and games with wee Annie - she looks a very cute little bundle indeed.
Big hugs for you both.

Thanks Hepzi, two more weeks and she can go out for a walk and use up some of that boundless energy.

Saw this while looking for another thread and thought to myself we really haven't had a good photo of wee Annie for a while now (HINT)

Is she still pretty puppy-ish or is she a full adolescent or has she reached young adulthood? What is her best trick? And, most important (well always most important to me) does she come when called or does the terrier half weigh out meaning if it attracts her attention she is gone like a shot?

Thanks for asking LLL Yes 'Little Annie' is now full grown and is now a little lady and in about 3 months time she will be booked in to be speyed. She has remained quite small in size, not tiny, but not big, about the size of a smallish Westie and she is a very alert guard dog, not yappy, but she has a loud bark that lets you know see has seen or heard something. She loves all her friends and makes lots of fuss of everyone she meets, she doesnt do tricks, but does do as she is told (most of the time ) although she is oblivious to everything else when out for a walk, so not safe being let off the lead near any other distraction. She is very friendly and never snaps or attempts to bite and has a placid nature, but hates cats, apart from Buffy (my cat, her big sister ) She is fully house trained and rarely has an accident, she goes to bed on command and sleeps through till morning when she wakes me up, if she is desperate to go out beforehand she will always wake me up by pawing my face if I am asleep. She goes most places with me and jumps in the car if the door is open, the only time she does not go with me is if I go shopping or the camera club, but on those occasions she can be left in on her own without any problems. I have posted the odd picture of her as she has grown up, but this Thursday she is going for a 'shampoo & set' that's what I keep telling her but actually it will be a bath and blow dry, nails clipped and a medium trim ready for the warmer weather as she has quite a thick coat. The last time she was trimmed they did her ears which are usually quite hairy, but underneath the hair is quite short and a lovely brown colour which goes really nice with her toffee colouring, so she looked really nice.
If I think on and she will pose for me I will take some snaps.

Edit: Forgot to say, she is not a girly dog (although she likes a cuddle from her dad) but rather a bit of a rough neck and a tom boy character.

She sure sounds a dream and am sure is going to get all poof'd up at the groomers. My old dog was part terrier and no way could he ever be let off lease unless it was in a secured area. If something caught his eye he was gone in a flash. In the house he knew perfectly well what 'come here' or 'go there' or any number of commands meant but once he got outside all bets were off and he'd be gone.
