Two Contests in November! Fall Photo Contest: Your Rattie(s) in a fall setting. This may be an indoor or outdoor shot. Anything autumn related: fall scenery, Thanksgiving, harvest, fall clothing, etc. One entry per dog per member. (If you put two dogs in one photo that counts as the entry for both.) No photoshop graphics. This is to be based on the photo shot! Cutest and most "in theme" not necessarily most professional photography! Deadline for entry is November 14th, with voting on the 15th and 16th. Writing Contest: Write a story, essay or poem on the topic "Why My Rattie Is So Special To Me". We all love our Ratties and think they are special dogs in our lives. Tell us why yours is special to you! Again, one entry per dog per member. Deadline is November 21st with voting on November 26 and 27 (after the Thanksgiving Holiday). Good luck and have fun!

Yes, you can enter both or just one. And, I don't think folks judge on the professionalism of the photo -- but the theme, the idea, the cuteness, etc etc etc. Everyone has a chance to win!

April 17 of this year, we lost our beloved Cairn Terrier, Burnsie who was 18 ½. We planned to wait about 6 months before getting another dog. The house was too quiet. I asked my husband at bedtime on night about 6 weeks later when we could get another dog. He told me he had planned to talk to me about looking for one that weekend. The next day I was on the internet at petfinder.com looking for adoptions in our area. I found two dogs that I fell in love with after reading their stories. The one I wanted most was a Chiawawah-Terrier mix. He was not at the location he was scheduled to be at that Saturday morning. We drove out to the other location to locate the second dog, a young Rat Terrier that had been abused all of his first year of life. He was about 13 months old and looked very frightened. I guess the first dog’s absence was the sign we needed to rescue Nibs. We got chance to get acquainted with him at the pet supply store were adoptions were held. We feel immediately in love with him and in not time we signed the adoption papers, handed over the fee and went on a shopping spree. We had been assured that he was very laid back and quiet. Not so, as soon as his little feet hit the floor in our townhouse, he did the famous Rattie 500. He had a number of issues and we calmly and patiently dealt with them, and after a few vet visits had him on the needed meds to deal with allergies and separation anxiety (and now car sickness). Before his anti anxiety medication he demonstrated what separation anxiety in a dog was all about. He learned how to get out of one dog carrier and destroyed another and cut up his tender little neck trying to crawl of the hole he made. On one of his destructive days, he took a book off the book shelf, tossed it aside and then destroyed the book underneath – a hardcover book on Rat Terriers. The book he tossed and the book he left untouched – were on dog training –both were paperback. He has taught us the art of patience and love, more than we ever needed with Burnsie. He has only been with for just over 5 months, but I cannot imagine living without him. We laugh now at all he did, but cry in our hearts for all he has been through. He seems happier now, and senses that things will never be as bad as his first year of life.
