Rugby is a 13-year-old Soft Coated

Wheaten Terrier. He's been my doggy

kid since he was 10 weeks old and as

he's grown so has his attitude. He's a

true terrier - he knows that he owns

the house and the neighborhood and

the rest of us are here merely to serve!

He is 40+ lbs of attitude. I have to

admit, Rugby is quite a strange dog.

He hates to have his stomach

touched, will let people in but won't let

them leave and is not beyond giving a

bite if things aren't going his way. He's

never bitten me but everyone else in

the family has experienced his wrath. He hates being brushed so we have to keep him cut

short and his fur became curly due to all the cutting - it's meant to be straight. Having

once encountered a skunk, he no longer has any interest in chasing small animals but he's

looking for a fight with any other dog. So why do I love him. I guess because despite of

all of this, he loves me and he can be a sweetheart. He and I take long walks together and

he likes the snow. He also likes to share my food. Yes, it's Rugby's world and I just exist

in it!
