Beatrix Potter
Did you know that Beatrix Potter was a fan of Border Terriers??
I was browsing the collections of the V&A (as is the right of a dog to do), and came across the fact that they have a photograph of Beatrix Potter sitting next to a Border Terrier and and … feeding him!! Unfortunately there is no image on the website, but I have it on good authority that this is an accurate description of the photograph. Perhaps I will visit the V&A and request that I can view the photo. I’m sure that dogs are allowed in museums.

Go Andy!
Did you know that having a border terrier as a pet increases your sporting ability and performance?! Us border terriers are not just pretty faces! Woof!
Media appearances
As seen in my previous post, there is a very cute photo of me with snow on my beard. One of the humans sent this photo into the local paper, the Express & Echo, and they have published it in their pets corner page. To be honest they should have made my photo the centre piece but I am humble enough to share the glory with some other animals.
I’m famous!!!
It has been noted this weekend that I have a starring role in a really famous DVD / film!
Ok, so maybe I’m stretching the truth on really famous but I am on a DVD. Some of the humans who I grace with my presence support a football team called Exeter City, they are the local team where I live. Last year they got promoted from the Blue Square Premier into Coca Cola Football League 2. They did this by winning a play-off at Wembley in London. After this victory they had a parade through Exeter. I decided to go and see what the fuss was about, and obviously a film crew spotted me and filmed me as I am so wonderful. This means that I am on the DVD of Exeter City’s 2008-09 promotion winning season. This should boost their sales!
Woof!
PS I still rate running around madly after a raggi as a better sport than football.
