I Thought this might amaze you, something I have hidden away

Post by Trigger »

I finally got round to photographing this!! Believe it or not she is fully grown :shock: and belonged to an ancestor of mine back in the 1880’s. The dog is a terrier and lived a full and long life but never grew beyond this size it isn’t the smallest dog ever but is pretty damn close.

Image

My Grandfather (way back) who owned her became famous and was put on trial because of her! :? He went on a long train journey and didn’t buy her a ticket, during the trip he took her out of his pocket because she was barking and put her on the floor, she ran off and got lost under the seats within the mechanisms. He had no choice but to call in the guards and ask them to help him free her. :lol:

The result of his fee dodging was being arrested and taken before the local Magistrate who gave him a large fine and the shame of being named as a criminal in the national press. Nobody knows what her name was (I am sorry to say) :( but she was so loved that when she passed away she was persevered and passed down through the family. I now own her and although the whole spectacle of her in this box looking dusty and tired is grotesque to me I still keep her peacefully in a warm dark cupboard dreaming her dreams of running free under the seats of an old steam train in Dickensian Victorian Britain. :)

I thought you might be as amazed at her tininess’ as much as I was as a small boy when I first met her at my Grandmothers house.

To give you an idea of her size from the bottom of her front paw to the top of her head she is 3 ½ inches tall

From the tip of her nose to the rear of her rump she is 4 ¾ inches long

From her widest point front shoulder to front shoulder she is 1 ½ inches wide.

Image
Cologne she'll wear silver and americard, She'll drive a beetle car and beat you down at cool Canasta. And when the clothes are strewn don't be afraid of the room touch the fullness of her breast feel the love of her caress she will be your living end.

I know and for me the Freaky thing is that it is in the box anyway :? Yet as I said it lived a full long life and was very loved.
One thing to consider is that our two little ladies are only medium sized dogs and are small for medium sized! (I hope that makes sense), Imagine how tiny this little dog would look like next to a Great Dane!!!!!! :shock:

Fucking Hell!!!!!!!!! I just checked out the smallest dog in the world and this one is smaller by a LOT!!!

Height on dogs is messured from foot to Shoulder, I messured from foot to the top of the head and the world record is just over 4 inches foot to shoulder. THis boxed dog is only 3 1/2 inches foot to head!!! BUT I wonder if the record is based on living animals?

I have been thinking the exact same thing since I discovered about the height being so much shorter than the record holder.

I had a bit of a fall out with my mum over it a while ago, she had forgotten that it had been given to me and was planning on selling it!!! I didn't want it to leave the family because it had been with us for so long it seemed wrong to let it go. I also didn't trust her to get what would have been a real price for such an odd specimen and would take what was offered because any amount would seem alot for a scabby looking dusty Mutt in box!.
I had kept it at my parents because I thought she might take plessure in having things from her childhood close by. I became so angry that she thought she could just get rid of one of the few things that had a place in my family that I removed it and I had it hidden away to prevent it disappearing.

I just checked with the Guinness book of records and they want $800 just to check that its the size it is and see if it qualifies to enter the book. :shock:

Ian, that is super ridiculous. If it qualifies, do you get anything? Perhaps your 800 back?

I have not given up yet and I have discovered that they do record older animals, I just want to get to know if a preserved animal can still be judged?
The aplication and financial aspect is based (without visible destinctions) on an organised event where a judge would have to be present to verify the facts.
I don't think that holding a stopwatch and having a whistle on a chain really counts with something like this! :lol:

I will procede and keep you all informed :D BUT I don't see why I should give $'s to make there book more interesting, after all she's been in that box for over a century so another few years won't change much about her if thats what it takes to get her recognised.
