Thanks are in Order

Wow!  What a huge and overwhelmingly warm welcome we've received from so many dogs and their people!  We want to thank everyone who has stopped by, written comments and notes in our Bark Box, emailed us with pointers, led us to good websites, let other dogs and their people know about us, and, most of all, supported our stories. We are looking forward to getting to know you, and to sharing not only our histories, but the fun and antics, joys and tears of our day-to-day lives.

By the way, it was our Aunt Judith who got us started with this.  She and her whippet, Zoë, had begun a doggie blog a while back, and recently decided to resurrect it, seeing what fun this is and how many new friends we are making.  We've led them to Dogs With Blogs (thanks to all of you who mentioned that site!) and ideas for searches for whippets and other sight-hounds. But, seeing as how we are Zoë's cousins and we're terriers, some terrier (and other) friends for them wouldn't be a bad thing!  You might want to stop by Snippets From a Whippet and meet them.  I know it'd make them happy!

So, if you've read our earlier beginning blogs,  you are getting an idea of who we are and where we've come from.  Fergi wants to give Jake a chance to tell his story, and like lots of  "first-borns" (even though he is actually Mom's third wire), the story is longer and with lots more pictures.  We'll probably share the attention a little, back and forth.  Several of you have asked about Fergi's love, Farfel: the Only Airedale in the Village.  We can wait too long to let you know more about him!  But first, soon to come.... the beginning of Jake's First Three Years.
