Could I be harbouring a ” Terrierist ” ??

One of the many additions to the new version of pedigreedogs.ie is the information regarding microchipping.

This was suggested to me by Veterinary Ireland, due to the amount of dogs that turn up at veterinary practices around Ireland, with no sign of a chip, or if there is, the owners details are incorrect (New ownership details not updated)

Last year I blogged about a great book, that would interest any dog minded person, called Two Suitcases And A Dog, which in in the forthcoming London Book Fair

We had the pleasure of meeting the author, Finn Mac Eoin, whilst holidaying in Loumarin (France) last year

Finn sent me the following piece during the week

I found a dog lost two days ago. no lead or tattoo.
I am taking him to the vet now to see if he has a chip.

While I was waiting at the Vets for a micro chip scan of the
stray dog, I sat and duly requested the dog to do likewise.
” Assiz Assiz ” twice in French and the dog ignored me.
Then I said ” Sit Sit ” and he sat down.

There was a man opposite and I said
Ca, cest bizaar, le chien compris anglaise.
(that’s bizarre, the dog is an anglophone)

And the Monsieur responded,

Il y a des chiens comme ca, et je ne sais pas comment
ils ont apris un deuxieme langue.
(there are dogs like that and I have no idea how they
learn a second language)

Anyway, it looks like the dog may be that of a tourist and
no doubt smuggled into the country, hence no chip.
