Sally Bares All (Honest Scrap Award)

My dear fellow Bloggees,

I am sorry for the delay in writing, but my D has been a busy little bee and hasn't helped me - I need her for typing I am afraid...

D says that if I had access to the computer easily – I would write constantly about all the good food I ate and all the beasties I chased.  I would like to mention for the record that I did chase a fox yesterday – but lost that pesky creature in a brambly hedge.  I did make my C scream like a girl – and he didn’t yell my name in a macho way but VERY  high pitched SSAAAALLLEEEE.  But what he doesn’t understand is that I am a Wire FOX terrier – I was born to put those critters in their place and if I have to run all across the British countryside to do it – so be it!  But it makes my humans debate my freedom.  But when I see that little beast…I just see red…well, some white and black too…I can’t help it….

Now, I wanted to send a big smoochy kiss and Thank you to my wonderful new friend Asta - the sweet, well dressed cutie has sent me a Friends Award.  I think you are the best - and an extra special lick for that one.

If D feels brave she will try and place it in the Blog somewhere - but be patient - she is not hugely talented in the computer programming side of life.

I also have been tapped/tagged twice for the Honest Scrap award!!!  I was tagged by the lovely Lucia and the quadrangular canine Eric (who D affectionately calls Archie when she has been drinking).  I have to tell ten truthful things about myself - the bare naked truth....and pass it on to other deserving blogees....My D isn't always very clued into this computer lark - so if a link is missed - please have patience, sigh and look heavenward - I do....

No.1 I love food – all kinds of food – I once raided a picnic and got my face stuck in a Pringles tube. D offered to reimburse the young ladies the money for the crisps (potato chips) - although I only licked them...

No.2 I like tea – this is a follow on from No 1 – but it is drink – I love milky teas and if any guest leaves theirs unattended I will drink it.  Tables, Chairs, closed doors are no obstacles to me.  To avoid embarrassment – D now makes a tea for me in a proper tea cup  so I will leave her guests alone.  Sadly ,this too, is embarrassing for her - in a different way, as people question her sanity…

No.3 I HATE my humans leaving me – so much so – that I get very ANGRY and attack MY pillow – and then I drag it to the front window and wave  it at the humans as they leave .   I used to attack clothing (whilst the humans were wearing it) – but we have worked this through (or transferred it) – now it is pillows and sometimes a blanket.

No.4 I do not like Boxer dogs, sorry Boxers, but you frighten the stuffin’ out of me.  As soon as I see one I scream and hide behind my humans or a very large dog.

No.5 I like baby toys – little soft toys with rattles or squeaks.  Unlike my pal Jackson, I do not hurt my toys.  But treat them very nicely – they are not pillows after all.

No.6 I do not like doorbells,  no matter the tune they play - something that I think I share with my fellow terriers (this makes my D feel better).  Doorbells make me bark like mad, jump at the door and try to bite door handles and any object near the door (except my human) – this is bad for my humans except when people come to the door selling things or religion – my D then says I am very big and we cannot open the door as she cannot control me….she calls it a ‘silver lining’

No.7 I love to chase small furry vermin like things – I will chase FOXES,  squirrels, rabbits,  rats, mice, etc…I once accidentally chased a small Yorkshire Terrier – he was very  GREY – and moving very squirrel-like – boy, was I shocked when I got close

No.8 I LOVE my family and when my Zia (auntie) visits from Italy I jump all over her – I once had been digging and ran over to her to greet her and jumped on her (VERY EXPENSIVE) designer handbag and left big prints on it – and she didn’t get (too) angry – I still got hugs and cuddles.  And D bought some very nice leather wipes…

No.9 I like all kinds of people, but I particularly like the gardeners in our park – they are very sweet to me and I always interrupt their work for cuddles.  They feed me Rich Tea biscuits and this makes me like them even more…

No.10 I have a bed in every room – bought just for me – but I like to sleep on the couch with my head on a pillow and my belly in the air – or on the humans bed in a similar fashion.  Sadly due to my ‘isssues’ we have only one throw cushion left and one pillow left on the couch – the pillow on the couch is MY pillow...(I think this photo is an invasion of my privacy, but D thinks I am 'cute'...)

I now have to tag fellow blogees - so they to can be honest and say ten truthful things about themselves (embarassing or not!) - if we miss a link or you have been tagged already - please forgive us... Jackson , Tula, William Tell, Agatha and Archie , Molly and Taffy

Can't wait to read them ....

Lots of licks

Sally
