Trixie

          I am getting a dog!!  Not sure if I am crazy, given my dislike for most animals...  I have been thinking about getting one for several months now.  I knew that if I got one it would have to be a Norfolk Terrier.  This breed sounds like the perfect dog.  I did a lot of research about the breed and finally decided to start searching for one.  Norfolk Terriers are sometimes difficult to find given the high demand and the fact that most only have a few puppies in each litter.  I have been a little lonesome living by myself after living with such a big family for my entire life (I have four younger siblings).  The following are pictures of Shelby, a 3.5 yr old from Kentucky.  She is 13lbs and has had one litter of puppies- seven total!  The breeder is selling her since she didn't want to breed her again after all those puppies.  Shelby's parents are show dogs.  She is crate trained and will be spayed before I pick her up.  I will update once I have a date to get her.  I am so nervous and excited for such a big responsibility!  I will be changing her name to Trixie, in honor of my favorite childhood gook character, Trixie Belden.   Here is a link to the AKC website to read more about Norfolk Terriers: http://www.akc.org/breeds/norfolk_terrier/
