Millie Needs A Furever Home

With much regret and sadness Mom and Dad have not been able to get Millie and I to get along. We are just too much alike; both of us want to be the top banana and neither of us are willing to give ground. Millie has really come out of her shell and seems happy to be here, just not with me. I have to admit that I don't like sharing the attention as well.

• Millie is a very sweet 6 year old female Wire Haired Fox Terrier.
• Needs a furever home with NO Dogs in household.
• Very friendly with everyone she meets
• Preferably no children under 13 (Only because there's no history)
• Up to date on all shots
• Micro chipped
• Housebroken
• Well behaved
• Walks well on leash

She has lost a little weight and with a good diet and exercise we should be able to keep her out of the substantial wire club.





So I'm putting it out there to all my furry friends to please spread the word for Millie. Please post a picture and a link if you can and hopefully we can find Millie a furever home where she can be someones ONLY princess.















Please contact Mom or Dad at johnmarra@hotmail.com or thexraygirl@hotmail.com

Crossed paws for Millie,

Millies First Day

Well yesterday I went to meet Millie and everything was okay, we didn't fight. She wanted to sniff me all over. When we got home I showed Millie my back yard and all the best grass to eat.












She tried some for herself.













I guess because this is a new place she looks a little confused.



She didn't want to run around and play today.









I showed her some of my favorite roaching spots.





























Millie decided to give it a try for herself.














Millie came in the house and sniffed around and checked things out but she does not seem to like me. She growls and snaps at me so she is confined to the kitchen for now. Maybe she has just been through a lot of change in the last two weeks. Dad takes us for walks together and she is fine no growling or snapping.

Well we'll just have to take it one day at a time and see if she comes around. Please keep your paws crossed for Millie.

Tomorrow I Meet Millie

Well tomorrow I meet Millie. Millie is a 6 year old female Wire who was brought to a local rescue shelter. Mom and Dad found out about her from a neighbor who volunteers there. Millie's Dad had to move into an assisted living home and couldn't take Millie with him. So tomorrow Millie and I are doing a meet and greet to see if we get along. I am told that Millie is very sweet and good with humans and other dogs so we will see what happens. If all goes well Millie will be coming to live with us.

I overheard Mom and Dad talking that Millie is a little... I mean a lot on the round side. I heard the four letter word diet which usually means less treats and less handouts from the kitchen.

Well I will keep you posted. Please keep your paws crossed for Millie.

From Fergi and Jake

I wanted to thank Fergi and Jake for 2 special awards. The first award is the Proximity Award, given to blogs that invest and believe in the value of PROXIMITY - nearness in space, time and relationships. These blogs are exceedingly charming. These kind bloggers aim to find and be friends. They are not interested in prizes or self-aggrandizement! Our hope is that when the ribbons of these prizes are cut, even more friendships are propagated. Please give more attention to these writers! Deliver this award to eight bloggers who then choose eight more and include this clever-written text into the body of their award. All this prize requires is to pass it on.

The second award we received is Nemo's Award: a dedication for those who love blogging activity and love to encourage friendships through blogging. To seek the reason why we all love blogging, the directions are:

• Put the award in a post as soon as you can after you receive it
• Don’t forget to mention the person who gave you the award.
• Answer the Award’s question by writing the reason why you love blogging.
• Tag and distribute the Award to as many people as you like.
• Remember to notify the awardees and put their links in your post.

The reasons I love blogging are to share my life experiences, to meet new friends, to promote the Wire Fox Terrier breed and to see the look on Dads face after I have left muddy paw prints all over the keyboard, hehehe...





So I would like to send these awards out to...

Scruffy, Lacie, & Stan's Place

Ozzy

Maggie & Mitch

Asta Urbanista

The Barkalot Boyz

Butchy & Snickers

Fenway

I would also like to pass these on to a sweet little boy who is no longer with us, Norman from South Africa.

Scarey Moment

Lastnight my wife Joan called me from downstairs. She said to come down the stairs quietly so as not to disturb Luna. When I reached the bottom of the stairs Luna was laying on the floor next to Joan making wheezing sounds. We got her up and she was walking around still making wheezing sounds. she looked like she needed to get something up but couldn't. I let her out back and she heard something in the back and was barking but we could tell that something was wrong by the sound of her bark.

While Joan was calling around for an emergency vet I took Luna down the street thinking that walking might induce her to bring up whatever seemed to be obstructing her breathing. She was able to walk okay but I could tell she was trying to expel something. A neighbor came out with her dog and Luna got all excited and was pulling and tugging and thats when it came up. I could not believe it was 6 to 8" of rawhide that I literally had to yank out of her mouth. Of course Luna didn't want to leave it behind.

I brought the rawhide back to the house and Joan immediately knew what it was. About 4 hours earlier she had given Luna a Flossie. Luna has had these before but this time the one she had was bigger than the ones she usually has; and for whatever reason she consumed the entire thing in one sitting. Usually she will chew on it then leave it and come back to it over the course of a couple of days, shredding the thing to pieces.

Luna is fine now but you never know. I guess you just have to monitor them when they have these things. Just be aware, a lesson learned.

Best regards,

John (Luna's Dad)

A Bit Under The Weather

Well today was not a good day for me. I was feelin a bit under the weather. Something did not agree with my tummy. When Mom & Dad came home they found me fast a sneep on top of my crate.






They also walked into a poop, vomit, and pee surprise. I got sick all over the house. I even got sick in my dog cave.

Well while Mom and Dad were busy cleaning up the mess I left for them; I unknown to Mom & Dad went through the grocery bags Mom had just brought home. I found some yummy cherry tomato's which I had out all over the dining room floor when Dad came down to get more cleaning supplies. Ooops... he was not happy to find this surprise.


Not being the picture of health he could not get mad at me.
















Mom decided to make me a special dinner to help settle my tummy. She made me rice and flounder, mixed with a little apple sauce.













It was very tasty and I didn't leave a crumb.













I licked the bowel so clean I could actually see my reflection in the bottom of the bowel.













After dinner I felt much better and was feelin like my old self.


My beards still a little ripe so no Luna Licks tonight.

Woof at you soon.

Someone Has Got Their Facts Mixed Up

Hello to all my friends. I don't know who came up with the definition but my blog has been suffering from NBS, "Neglected Blog Syndrome".

Now as those of you who live in PA, NJ, NY, and parts of MA know, we got upwards of 14" of the white stuff dumped on us back on March 2nd. Now you be the judge of who should be giving back their bonus especially if they received any federally funded treats from President Obama.



This was the view out my front door. I guess we can't go for a walk this way.
















This was the view out my back door. We can't go out that way. We will have to try the garage door. Pssss... Dad made the mistake of opening the sliding door and he wound up with a pile of snow in the livingroom. He had to use a shovel and broom to get the snow back outside so he could close the door. WAAAAAA it was hilarious.








I was finally able to get outside through the garage. We would've needed a sled to come down the front steps.











The wind was sure blowing. I made the mistake of jumping into a snow drift. I looked like seal flopping around on a beach, not good.










I had one heck of time trying to locate any good pee-mail, but it was fun frolicking in the snow.

Luna Licks to you all.
