The WFT pup who didn't get the memo

This is Luna.

She is five months old and I met her for the first time on our monthly Aberdeen'n'shire fox terrier walk last Sunday. 

Luna is indescribably cute, of course, but it appears she didn't inherit the WFT behaviour blueprint.

Luna, being submissive is not part of the job description! 

Really it isn't. Your timid conduct will just invite a terrier pile on...

See, I told you so!

Sadly, my feisty foxy friend Agatha was not present on Sunday to give wee Luna sisterly advice to how to act in an appropriately assertive manner, and as a result us boys had to be kept on our leads for most of the walk. 

Although that didn't stop big bro Rupert and me indulging in a satisfying game of tug of stick at one point.

The traditional end of walk 'team photo' was even more than usually shambolic...

The walk took place in the woodlands near Duff House, and after the others had left Gail asked me to 'pose nicely' in front of the rather grand Georgian mansion, and I duly obliged.

  1. Yes Luna is indescibably cute. Maybe she was just overwhelmed by all that adult masculinity around her. As for the mansion, you pose like you own the place Nobby.

  2. Luna is gorgeous and has perfect puppy manners, even if she did get buried. I imagine these WFT meets are genteel, quiet affairs.

    Well, Nobby, after reading about your lesson on seeking pawmission before such close encounters, all you boys ought to have known better! I hope wee Luna learns to stand up for herself! You do all look fabulous as a group though... hugs and wags, YAM-aunty xxx

  5. Luna is a sweet pup, and I'm sure she'll learn to stand up for herself when she's a bit bigger. You boys will all have to learn to be gentleman around the ladies!
    Nobby, you do indeed look to "The Manor Born" at Duff house.
    Love,
    Paca xx

  7. Being submissive in front of many males is not a good plan, Luna, but you sure are a cutie!

  9. Little Luna is adorable! We hope you boys will learn to treat her better as she grows up or that she gains some of that terrier attitude by the next time you meet.

  11. Nobby, we think the best solution to Luna's problems is for her to take up permanent residence with you and Gail. We think you both could use another furry pal:)
