Life With a Wire Fox Terrier

Yesterday was a big day.  This dude turned eight.

We celebrated Ike's birthday with homemade dog treats (find the recipe here), tennis ball playing and snuggles. Sounds like a great birthday to me.

I often get asked questions about Ike.  That squishy face attracts people left and right.  We rarely make it through a walk without someone wanting to pet Ike.  Nate and I love the Wire Fox Terrier breed and we think Ike is a perfect fit for us.  The breed does have it's challenges and I'm not sure I balance that enough with the squishy face pictures. I feel that we will always own a Wire Fox Terrier because we love them so much. A lot of the qualities that we find charming, may not be so charming for a lot of people.  I'm pretty confident that none of Nate or I's family members would own a Wire Fox Terrier (maybe my brother?).  And that's okay.  I always warn people to do their research before adopting any breed of dog!

Without further ado, here's the tutorial for the living room end table that I shared on Monday!  Thanks to all of you that shared your thoughts.  We're still torn on it but it's hanging around until a better model arrives. You know, similar to how Nate and Ike are keeping me around.
