Norman, the Dog of the Day
Name: Norman
Age: 3 years, 7 months old
Gender: Male Breed: Weimaraner
Home: Warwickshire, United Kingdom
 
   Norman is a wonderful, loving companion, to all family members ... but a very special friend to my seven-year-old daughter Danielle. He is her constant 'best mate' and he has helped through a lot of bad times. He is very caring and protective, and once scared off a burglar in the middle of the night! The man was trying to crow-bar our garage door open. Norm barked at him ... and the burglar slipped through a nice pile of dog poo on the way out of the garden!! :-)

    Norman loves to sleep with our two cats, but is scared of our budgie!!! He is just starting to calm down slightly (as is widely known, Weimaraners are nuts!) HIs favorite game is "Shoe Game" which he plays with his dad. This consists of Dad waving his shoes about in the air and Norman chases the laces! Norman is very clumsy, always walking into door frames and hitting his head on the underneath of tables, etc., but he is truly lovely. And we couldn't wish for a better all-round friend.
