Woof

  • We are three wire fox terriers, one large black cat, assorted hand puppets, a presidential pup and everything dog. We're an animal salon. Everything on our minds is on the table for discussion and display: art, everyday, politics, musings, and especially the inane.

PLACES WE LIKE


  • Pepper's Place An icon among wires. Pepper had the best place of all.


  • Get clickin' and feed some animals.

OTHER PLACES TO WANDER

  • Salon
    News, commentary and graphics you won't find elsewhere. It's like a freshly unearthed bone in the backyard.
  • The Raw Story
    Progressive, Al Franken-ish news.
  • Media Matters
    Grey matter. Media between-the-lines. Some of this will make you even madder.
  • Bits And Pieces
    "Fiber, Words, Data and Dog Hair." That says a lot, but really doesn't cover it. You should visit.
  • Colbert Nation
    Wagging fingers. A facile tongue and biting wit. Stephen Colbert has our dogged admiration. "Oprah, where's my cupcake?"

GOOD & DOG-EARED


  • Cool Cat, Hot Dog. 5 STARS. As out-of-this-wire-world as the imagination and a wire fox terrier (plus cat) can get. Sandy Turner, dog icon.

  • Dear Mrs. Larue. 5 STARS. Like Ike? We love him. Dear Mrs. Larue, you raised him right.

  • Silent Night. 5 STARS. It's not about Santa. A wire fox terrier has the only lines in this book. Thank you, Sandy Turner.

ALTON BROWN ALLEY


  • Dog Bites: Canine Cuisine. Our old standby; we're faithful fidos when it comes to this book.

  • Throw Me A Bone. Make mine a soup bone, crunchy croutons on the side.

  • Cooking the Three Dog Bakery Way. Good things come in threes: tenors, Stooges, tries and dog bakeries.

  • Bow Wow Chow. Unispecies cooking and baking. One-size apron fits all?

Help Yourshelf


  • Ebony and Ivory meet Irony.

  • Nigel and Gimlet called it: great book.

    Walk, They Said

    These wires were made for walkin'
    And that's just what they'll do.
    One of these days these wires...
    Are gonna walk all over you.
    Do do do do do do do ...

    Nobody walks or pulls like a wire fox terrier.

    Sometimes, wires pull together.

    Several wires and their peeps are motoring over to Bear Mountain, New York on May 4. They'll combine paw pads and shoe leather to walk all over cancer in the annual Dogswalk Against Cancer.

    Some of the coolest New York wires, Ozzy, Romeo, Smitty, Jeeves and Asta, and one  Bette Davis-like cocker spaniel (hi, Jessie) are in the 2008 walk.

    You know it. When these guys hit the pavement, cancer is kicked to the curb. Finally.

    What? You say you're going and your person would like a T-shirt (or hat or tote bag) with this logo? Or perhaps you're a dog who loves to dress up (we won't tell), and you'd like a dog T-shirt with logo? Well, go here and order. All profits from the merchandise go to ... you guessed it ... the Dogswalk Against Cancer. It's a win-win thing.

    I wish the TerriORRs could join up.

    But we hope all you people in the great NE boogie on over and WALK!

    Mom just ordered two wirefest doggie t-shirt--one for Maxie (me) and one for a rescue wire buddy of ours she found a home for some training pals. Casey needs "calming and reassurance" too. We are proud to support our NY cousins! Hope everyone has a wireific time raising money for a great cause!

    CLASSIC WIRE WHODUNIT


    • The Thin Man. Off the Charts. Sleuths Nick and Nora Charalambides and their female schnauzer, Asta ... Don't recognize it? OK. Sleuths Nick and Nora Charles and their male wire fox terrier, Asta... That better? Have some martinis and it will all be fine.

    Taking Artistic Dog License


    • Best in Show: The Dog in Art from the Renaissance to Today. Five licks. Piero della Francesca, Titian, George Stubbs, Tiepolo, Landseer, Gainsborough, Wardle... You'll see something that would go well over the couch.

    • A Dog's Life in Art and Literature. Five pots of paint. Dogs, dogs and more dogs. Paintings and stories artfully and masterfully told. Paws and tails up.

    • Happy Birthday Coco. A quietly elegant and artful illustrated narrative about a wire fox terrier's life. We meet her as she turns one.

    • James Thurber: The Dog Department. FIVE STARS. No one knew dogs like Thurber. Here, his hounds, scotties and talking poodles have their say. Our favorite? The infamous airedale Muggs, subject of "The Dog Who Bit People."

    • Art Dog. FIVE STARS. Portrait of the artist as a young security dog. The artful antics of Arthur Dog will have you van Goghing.

    Political Animals


    • The True Story of Fala. Universal Gem. By Margaret Suckley and Alice Dalgliesh. FDR read and approved of his scottish terrier's tell-all. Liberal use of terrier wisdom and antics inside.

    • Letters from the Campaign Trail: Larue for Mayor. Super Nova. We like Ike, enough to think of him as ... mayor? Get out those campaign leashes.

    HOW MUCH IS THAT YOU KNOW IN THE WINDOW?


    • Nuts about Miss Nutty Girl. Wonderful treats, art ... she has three schnauzers and two bigger dogs. All are rescue. Be a nut and visit.
