The Norwich Terrier experience
You know you're a Norwich Terrier owner when...
●Those prick ears that rotate independently like satellite dishes, one tracking you, one tracking the kitchen, both fully operational at all times.
●The 'Norwich lean', when they press their entire tiny body against your leg like they're trying to merge with you at a molecular level.
●That low, grumbly voice they use when they have opinions about dinner timing, walk scheduling, or your general life choices.
●Watching them tear across the yard after something only they can see, legs churning like a tiny freight train with zero brakes.
●The way they greet every single person like a long-lost friend, tail going, whole body wiggling, absolutely convinced everyone came specifically to see them.
