The Irish Terrier experience
You know you're a Irish Terrier owner when...
●That red coat catching the sunlight and stopping people mid-sentence, 'What kind of dog IS that?' becomes the soundtrack of every walk.
●The absolute refusal to back down from anything, a dog three times their size, a vacuum cleaner, a cardboard box that looked at them wrong.
●How they position themselves between you and anything they haven't vetted yet, not aggressive, just. . present. On duty.
●The terrier zoomies that happen on a schedule only they understand, 7:43 PM, living room, no exceptions, furniture be damned.
●That one look they give you when you tell them 'no', not defiance exactly, more like a respectful disagreement filed for future appeal.
