Here we are in our new shirts. I have to say they do fit a bit snug so if you're a little chunker like my brother and me just be careful otherwise we love love love our new shirts for the walk!

Hey have you guys heard? There's a walk going on next month for Dog Cancer and mom's list friend Pat has made a t-shirt for this walk. What's even better a part of the proceeds are going to benefit the walk. So I thought I'd post a picture of the shirts and let you know they are available through http://www.cafepress.com/. Make sure you type in Wirestock in the search part of the webpage. These are some fancy shirts and what's even better they are available for us pups too! So mom has decided she is going to buy a shirt for the three of us and possibly even grandma. I can't wait even more now for this fun event to happen.

This is the best we can do for right now if mom can find a better copy of this picture she will. Have a great day friends!

I just found out after much moving around in our house that mom is going away for a few days vacation. And the worst part? We're not going with her. I'm sorry why am I not going with her I could care less if my brother goes with her or not but I am Oz and I should be going with her. What if she meets another dog or what if something should happen to her and she needs a security guard? Who is going to be there for that?
Not me apparently. She is apparently heading South to visit an old friend of hers. I'm really not understanding this. So the DogsWalk Against Cancer campaign is going well and we're hoping to have a few of our friends show up and walk with us. I'm actually looking forward to this instead of kind of dreading it since it will be a miss my dad moment. Thankfully Michele will be there and maybe she'll bring the kids with her. So the countdown is on. But I will be depressed because my mommy is going to not be home for a few days. Ho hum time to go pout and maybe give her a guilt trip to keep her home or take me with her. Have a good night all.

It's that time of year again

Hello my friends,
It is my favorite time of year again. Well two of my favorite times of year again. First it is SPRING. Well almost which means no more snow and warm days out on my porch. Which in case anyone is wondering is one of the best porches we've ever had. Then comes my favorite other thing. Dogswalk Against Cancer. This year we are doing it in honor of Dad since he loved doing these things with us and last year was his first with us and he had a blast doing the walk. This was by far his favorite walk with all of us. Mom said he loved doing this walk cause of all the goodies and the nice walk it had. So please friends give in honor fo my pops. He deserves it and so do all of those animals that are suffering with cancer as we speak.
Here's our link. http://main.acsevents.org/site/TR/CommunityFundraisingPages/CFPEasternNoWrapper?px=5205003&pg=personal&fr_id=11305
So we want to say thank you in advance for any contribution you may give.

OK it's been a while I know I know and it's been a while since we got this surpirse in the mail. Mom won't leave the computer and I can't do it at night when I'm snuggling with one of the women in my life so I have found today since it is snowing out. About 2 weeks ago mom and I went to the mailbox. Mom saw this nice looking package and said ooh Ozzy it has you and Romey's name on it. So she brought it in and let us see it. Can you believe we got something in the mail? I know it smelled yummy and of course she just couldn't open it without a ton of pictures. Why I will never know but we must document everything. Especially when I need a cut. Oh well so there was this package and yup sure enough my name was on it. Oh man mom open it up faster. So after a few more pictures were taken to yes folks document the arrival we got it opened. Thankfully my brother did not try to wear the packaging on his head.

I was even more tantalized by the smell of this package and of course it needed more documenting. Please someone explain to her we don't need our pictures taken all of the time.

So then Romeo and I were investigating and trying to figure out how do we get the plastic open. We still can't figure that out with our everyday treats when no one is home. Though I admit we do try. This was by far the best yummiest tasting package we had to have ever received. Then the best part it was meat. I'm not too sure on the hearts but I ate them nonetheless. Romeo of course LOVED the hearts and enjoyed them like it was no body's business. Mom says he needs a diet. Then came the chicken now that I loved it was the best tasting chicken I've ever had. I do want to thank Bogart and his mom for such a yummy treat and I have to say we really did appreciate it. Then one cold day we had to go for a walk on the new Rail Trail that is right down the road from us. It's a nice paved trail that goes through farmland, lakes and forests. It's a dream come true. We can walk near the house and sniff to our hearts content and of course meet other people and their dogs. We met a few dogs that day. We also got to go with our friend Michele and her son John. Halfway through our walk we got stuck in a snow squall so mom and Michele both decided time to start heading to the car. I guess mom said warmer weather will mean longer walks. I'm not going to complain at all. I highly recommend that if you live near us you check out the rail trail for a nice sniffing walk! Here I am enjoying the new rail trail. See what I mean by the nice walk and all that lies before me for the sniffs to start? It was too much fun. The only bad thing was we had to go home early. That's all right though. There will definitely be more walks to come

Well I'm going to get going and maybe even let Romeo post in a few. Hope you all are having a good day and will have an even better weekend. Talk to you soon. I promise.

Wirey hugs,

Ozzy

Mom wanted me to take a moment and say give her a little while she has pictures to upload for me to provide you all with a new post so please bear with her and me.
Thank you,
Ozzy
p.s.
Same goes for Romeo of course.

Happy Birthday Mom!

Well today is my mom's birthday and I wanted to announce it to the whole world of blogdom. She has done the awesomest thing for her birthday she took me to the park to let me run like a maniac and then she went to Petco and bought us chocolate chip cookies. They were so yummy and I enjoyed every yummy morsel. Can you believe how lucky I am to have such a mom? I got everything a pup could ask for for her birthday. Cookies, play time and plus I hear a special yummy dinner.
I hear the party in AZ is going to be fun. I'm hoping she'll let us go but that's still to be decided if we have the luggage and if she's willing to let us leave her alone for a whole weekend. Paws crossed we'll know by tonight.
Well time to get going we're going somewhere now. Oh man what more could a pup ask for honestly?

Wirey birthday hugs,
Ozzy

Well it's almost the New Year and do you know I can not wait for this year to end. Betcha can't guess why? Today was grooming day so we went to our friend Wendy's shop and stayed all day. Now let me just clarify for the record I did not mind being there. Wendy is such a sweet lady and her place is always fun. So going there is really like doggie day camp. I mean yes I have to get groomed but she makes it so quick that it's not that bad. Mom was even there for most of the day and had herself a good time.
We got to watch her laugh and enjoy herself. That's always a good thing. I even got to hang out with some German Shephard police dogs. The bitch was not the friendliest girl around but the guy wasn't half bad. I of course wanted to remind her who was in charge. Mom mentioned something about her eatting me in one bite if I bothered her anymore. Pah-lease I'm a tough pup. The holidays weren't so bad. Mom bought us a cheap little squeaker ball and some chewies. Our neighbor Michelle who gives us scritchies all the time bought us a stocking with chewies in it. Did I mention we had roast beef, mashed tatties and gravy with veggies to boot for Christmas dinner? Oh yes I was a spoiled boy. Mom mentioned something about maybe going to work with Wendy at her shop answering the phones. She said we'll see but wow going to Wendy's place to work with mom?! I hope it goes through. Mom needs socialization just as much as I do. HAHAHA! Please don't tell her I typed that. She'd have my hide for teasing her like that. Well I'm going to go watch TV with mom. I hear I've earned it for being a good boy today.
I hope everyone enjoyed themselves for the holidays and have a great New Year.

Wirey hugs,
Ozzy

Happy Birthday Daddy

Today is my daddy's 30th birthday. Mom is quiet today and trying to be ok. It's a yucky day outside. I have been snuggled up with grandma today and that's always a great thing. Romeo is of course snuggled up with mom. That's cool in alot of ways she needs to not be left alone according to grandma that is. The picture at right is of me and dad not too long after they got me. I like this picture because I am a skinny boy and there weren't any brothers in my life. My dad was a cool guy and would have made this day fun for all of us. He was just the best dad a pup could ever ask for.
I of course would have snuggled up with him and watched our favorite thing on TV. . . . FOOTBALL! It was always a great thing to do and would have involved snacks. Then there would have been cake which dad would have snuck to us while mom said babe no cake for the boys. She was always a spoil sport that way. Though Dad never seemed to listen to her. No wonder she said I'm just like my father the other day. Mom says that in honor of dad she'll make one of his favorite meals. . . . . . fried chicken. Oh gosh I am now counting down the minutes until dinner is served. The other day we lucked out with some yummy salmon added to our dinner. I always enjoy the salmon filets that she throws in there from time to time.
I have heard that if it's not too bad out tomorrow we'll go do our usual ballfield run. I'm crossing my paws that this one actually happens.
Well it's time for my night walk and I really need to go potty. Have a good week all.
Take care.

Well it's snowing here today and mom said if it gets a bit deeper we're going for a run. I don't think we'll be going back to Vassar Farms for a while. It's been how many days since my daddy passed? Too many and we're all healing and coping. Mom says she knows no other way to explain it. Life is too quiet without him. I have no one to beat up on mom is too fragile unlike dad who'd take it and give it back. Mom said dad would have had a blast with the snow while moaning and groaning over the fact that he'd have to shovel. He was funny that way he'd love the way the snow'd look but HATED the cold and shovelling. We are so overwhelmed and in awe of all the love and support we've gotten in the last few days. Mom goes back to work tomorrow.
Well I'm going to go and enjoy the comfy Sunday. I've also gotta help Grandma make spaghetti sauce. Mom's orders! Enjoy your Sunday my friends.

I just wanted to say personally thank you

Hello all of our blogging friends,
This is Jen Ozzy and Romeo's mom. I want to start by thanking every single one of you for all of those heartfelt wishes. They don't replace the love of my life and my boys dad but they do help. These last few days have been nothing but a blur and a fog to me. I get online and read things just to take my mind off of things. The boys of course are doing what I'm sure daddy asked them to do stick to mommy like glue. WE were the lucky ones we knew what we had and how much we loved each other. I am going to include his obitituary which is online. The paper is not in my good graces right now they put in the wrong wedding date. Mistakes happen but I have to say dang it not on my important day. David would say typical Jen don't screw up something important to her. My sister in law is now all alone. David had lost his parents at age 15 & 16yrs old. They were all they had left. I feel more for her than I do for myself most times. Life will definitely different now. What I love most about his last day was we were doing what we loved best being outdoors with the boys walking and just being together. Hold on to what you all have and cherish it. Tell your loved ones you love them any chance you get we always did. Take care all. We'll be mind blown for the next few days.

Love,
Jen Ozzy & Romeo
ps
for the pasting I fixed our wedding date in true Jen fashion.

Well I wanted to do a quick post. I wanted to thank you for the kind words they are just the nicest things we could ask for. This has been a tough time for mom she's had us crated with all our friends dropping by or when she goes out for whatever. But we did get a nice dinner of salmon and pumpkin. WOW how lucky we were.

Mom says that when things settle down she'll let me do a nice post about Dad. We do miss him alot. So thank you all again.

Take care,

Ozzy

Hello friends it is I the birthday boy! Mom won't tell me what my day will entail but I have to say I am sure it will be fun. My brother and I have been having a blast playing around and fighting ok the good fighting as mom puts it not the one that gets me my muzzle on. I do remember last year we ended up getting Romeo for my birthday and I have to admit I really hope I'm not getting another sibling for this birthday.
Oh geez I've been busted mom must have thought I was just wandering the house. I gotta go snuggles with her now. Have a great day all. I know I will.

Wirey hugs,
Ozzy the birthday pup

Hello my friends,

I have finally found some time to get on here. Mom has sent a very revealing picture of me to our friends at the Wire Fox Terrier lists. I'm not too pleased with this so I figured I'd counter balance this with posting the picture here.

Yes my brother was the cop and for some reason which I'm not too sure on I am a convict. Are they trying to say I'm perpetually bad? I'm really not sure. The guy holding the leashes is of course my father who is a huge FSU fanatic. Mom bought him the shirt and is getting ready to buy him his latest shirts from them. In this photo we were all in New Paltz for our friends at Paws of Distinction's annual Halloween Parade. We had such a great time. People kept coming up and saying how cute we were. Not to mention one lady took a picture of us. How cool is that? We also did the local rail trail which was right next door to the store. It was awfully muggy that day. Mom says that we will be able to go on our own rail trail in the near future near us. Apparently there is one opening up next month and mom is going to the groundbreaking ceremony tomorrow. How cool is that going to be? She promises walkies as often as possible and weather permitting. I did mention the new bed we got for the new home right? Well here is the latest picture of us snuggled up in our beds while they are watching TV and obviously taking pictures of us. They are a bit obsessed with taking our pictures lately. I really don't get it. If you're wondering about the blanket it's usually used to cover up Romeo he's a bit odd that way and likes to be covered and burrowed under the blankets. Go figure. He's a bit odd that way.

Mom has even mentioned to dad that now that we have this camcorder we should figure out how to get it to load onto our computer. Oh geez not another thing to have lugged around. I am a bit scraggly looking but I hear I am due for a visit to my friend the groomer. Mom assures me it's only for a light trim down since I'll need my fur this winter to keep warm. Thank goodness. She's even adamant that Grandma not be allowed to try grooming me or to let me get cut short like last year in the freezing cold. I am sooo thankful for that. That was not fun last year and mom has learned not to listen to my grandmother.

Well I'm outta here I would like to get my daily run in and mom hates to be kept waiting. Take care all and hope you had a Happy Halloween.

Wirey hugs,

Ozzy

Well I was checking out Butchy & Snickers blog and saw this challenge and thought I'd do it. It's 8 Random Facts about myself.

1. I love salads if mom is having one for herself she knows to throw in extra for me.
2. I am a true snuggler. If there is a lap or a bed with someone snoozing I am right there.
3. I am addicted to the water. I love showers, hoses, sinks, any kind of running water I am there trying to get my drink on.
4. I have ripped 2 shower curtains since moving into our new home. I am sitting in that shower waiting for the water to be turned on for me. Mom isn't too happy with me over that one.
5. I love to play tug in the park with mom. She has one of those rope tugs and I am a freak and pull until I can't pull no more.
6. I know when there is fish in the house. I hear that wrapper opening and I know we are getting fish for that nights dinner.
7. I am a total social butterfly. I can't help I might growl and bark but I love meeting new people and pups.
8. I was Moses when my breeder named me then Great Grandma wanted to call me Oscar but decided for some reason on Ozzy and G Grandma loved that name even more. I miss my Great Grandma soo much.
So those are my 8 random facts. I know not that big of information but hey they're my bits of information.
I'm not going to tag anyone cause I'm sure most of my friends have already been tagged. Have a good day all.

I just wanted to check in and say hello. Seems my baby brother has been hogging the computer lately. That's fine whatever keeps him occupied.

Mom and Grandma have been having fun browsing around and shopping. I'm not sure what the fun is in that idea but I guess. Mom did find this cool picture in this book about dogs that she had to snap while out at a local store. I know that pose sure looks similar to what I do when they're playing fetch with me.

Then Grandma found this cool treat jar that they swear is one of us wire fox terriers. I gotta say it sure does look like it. Mom appologizes for the poor quality she was tired which equals her eyes were tired but I kept bugging and bugging for her to take the picture so I could share with all of you. Well I better make this a quick post. She just said bed time and I gotta agree with her. Have a good night all. I promise to post more in the future.

Wirey hugs,

Ozzy

Well we're all nice and moved in. Our neighborhood is nice and quiet which means I have to bark to shake things up. Mom, Dad and Grandma have been sick for the last week or so wtih head colds. So ths whole moving in and cleaning thing has not been anyones favorite thing to do. I have to admit I am overwhelmed with new things. I have not one but two showers for me to drink from. Of course we got moved in and mom seemed to find time for a bath for me. I told her numerous times I'm a clean puppy but she kept saying new house clean Oz. Geesh I don't know if that's what I would call a good thing. So you all remember my nemesis Gulliver from my old walkies? Well mom still gets e-mails from that group and it seems Gulliver has some aggression issues and went after a fellow dog walker. Mom then told Dad and Grandma who both concurred they saw that one coming. I guess it's a good thing we don't do the walkies anymore. Though I do miss most of the other pups mom says she couldn't risk something like that happening between the three of us. Yep three gotta include my baby brother. So we're getting along for the most part. Grandma is just expecting a fight to happen any minute. Mom keeps telling her to relax on that but I guess she's got reason according to mom she does. So we have found a cool park around the block that mom lets us run around in since it's fenced in. She takes us seperately to give us quality mom and pup time. It's such a blast sniffing and sniffing and of course chasing the balls that she constantly throws for me. I also have this cool desk to type at that is in our den. This is a picture of me at my new desk. Mom had some water and her magazines out since she was going to relax while I typed away. I guess there's even talk of going to one of Bussie's chat Sunday's. Maybe once we're all settled in. Mom bought us a new bed since we only had one and I wasn't sharing with Romeo. Hey can ya blame me? I was an only child for the first 9 months that I lived with them. I know the new beds aren't all that to brag about but I like it and it's comfy. Mom's first meal for us was our yummy salmon. Mom on occasion will buy us a piece of salmon that she cooks up and throws in with our dinner. It is the yummiest thing especially since I haven't had it in a couple of months. Yes I know I'm a spoiled pup. But I deserve it don't I? Oh and the best part of the new house? Besides the two showers is I get to sleep with my parents or grams in one bed and with my brother. It is such a comfy bed and mom snuggles so well. Especially when daddy is working at night. So that's life so far in our new home. Mom promises more pictures soon. But she thought you guys might like to remember what I look like since it's been so long since we've posted a picture. Oh have I told you? Mom got one of those blasted camera cell phones and a camcorder. I'm not sure if this is a good idea on their part or not. We'll soon find out. Well I'm going to go snuggle with mom. Take care my frineds and enjoy your weekend.

Wirey hugs,

Ozzy

Well I just wanted to do a quick update with promises of pictures and more details in the near future but we ARE MOVED IN!!! Mom thought she'd let me get online and let all of our friends know. Romeo says hello too! More soon.

Ozzy

Good morning blogger fans! It is I Ozzy posting for myself since mom bought herself a laptop. She got tired of hearing my complaints on the front of not being able to post. Fine and dandy with me I'd had it with her lack of wanting to blog for me. So let me start by saying we are almost out of the lovely Days Inn. I admit there service and friendliness is admittedly warming and kind. But they don't let me in the pool or in the hotel's main building to get online. We did make it to the fun filled HOT day at Bowdoin Parks' Paws in the Park. Mom would like to emphasize that they should have it in a cooler month or earlier in the day. Because quite honestly we didn't need to sweat our little butts off. We left early because it was just too hot and we didn't like the idea of the real walk starting at 2p.m. What kind of craziness is that? We did meet our list friends Joanne, Smitty, and his sister Jessie. What a cool pair they are. Their mom took a picture of us together hanging out and once mom gets some extra free time she'll download it onto the computer for us. I got to try out the agility course and man that was SO MUCH FUN!!! Mom and grandma both say that next class we'll sign me up for sure. Right now life and money's a little tight. That's cool I can sympathize with that. We've been doing alot of walks like I mentioned earlier and Grandma decided that she'd go out of her way and buy us a camcorder. Once the 'rents figure out how to put it online we'll be showing some of our antics. What more could a bunch of my fans ask for?! LOL Well I'm hoping that this cool weather keeps up so we can enjoy a few days out and about mom is not the biggest fan of the humidity. I saw a bunch of new games out there on my friends blogs and I think when I get some more online time I will jump at the chance to do a few of them. Happy Birthday and Adoption day to anyone that I've missed. I hope you had the bestest day ever! Mom had a reality check on Saturday when she realized that I'll be 2 in November. That's right woman I am growing up! Mom did find out that her computer has a webcam and she's not quite sure how to use it but alas once she does she guarantees there'll be pics of me and my brother. Who by the way I am getting along really well with right now. He's really not that bad and is learning that I'm alpha dog in this pack. Umm sorry Mom is ehh I'll let her think that. Well it's a beautiful day let me get outside and enjoy it!

Well we did the New Paltz Craft Show today and I admit it wasn't my cup of tea but it was a fun time and quite interesting. We met a couple that had a girl WFT like us but she passed away. Mom said she was almost in tears remembering her little girl. I don't like to see humans cry it's just not a good thing. We're gearing up for our annual Pawswalk in the Park for our local SPCA. Mom and dad already have us registered and we're counting down the days until next Saturday to go. I had a blast last year and can't wait for the fun this year. Mom keeps trying to figure out how to sneak us in so that we can go swimming but she's not really trying to get us in trouble. Romeo did have to go the vet and his itchies have subsided and it seems mine have kicked in. Gosh there's something wrong with brotherly love when you gotta share the itchies. The walks at Vassar have been a blast and so have the walks at Mills Mansion. Mom is hoping that our friend Smitty will be at the dogswalk next weekend. We're also looking forward to the Montgomery NY dog day. I'm hoping to score lots of goodies next weekend that's for sure. Well I hate to cut this short but there is a time limit and I just wanted to let all of my friends know the goings on and that we're all ok. Thanks for the comments.
Take care!

Ozzy
