Sandy the Dog
Sandy was a rescued dog. She was found wandering the snowy streets in January 1991. She was about 6 months old and in really bad condition. She could hardly move her hind legs and she had a really bad cold! After a trip to the vet and quite a lot of TLC at home she made a full complete recovery.

She eats one square meal a any number of snacks from her incessant begging for for attention and our dinners! Her favourite snacks are cold meats and cheese, which she practically inhales! She loves crisps and chocolate but isn't allowed very much. She's very fond of the cats dry food and, as we discovered recently, has a taste for mayonaise! She also loves ice-cream and strawberries and craves, absolutely craves, chicken!

Mini and Sandy...

Kind of a love hate relationship!

Sandy is a Norwich Terrior and has longish hair, but druing the summer she gets a hair cut and so dramaticaly reduces in size! She loves being groomed and while nervous around it she tolerates the razor! When we trim her hair we don't do much around her head so she looks like a real small lion!
Sandy is afriad of many things. We always suspected that she was mistreated where ever she came form since she was extremely nervous. She was afriad of men and would cower if you held you hands the wrong way. But she has gotten over this now but still regards many thins, many many many things, with caution. These might be typical of small dogs but the variety is amusing. Off the top of my head I would say that Sandy is afriad of... Traffic, noisy people, cutlery (especially when you hold it), plates (same as cutlery!), spoons (same as plates), sweeping brushes that are sweeping, vaccum cleaners are always approached with extreme caution, Hair driers, feet, remote controlled cars, cars that she's NOT in, Cheeky the cat, the shower, the bath.. etc. etc. etc. etc.
