Jeeves wouldn't call a sapient wolf 'normal,' but he supposed Pinkie meant physical appearance rather than intelligence. Then again, she was a sapient pony, so perhaps the wolves normally inhabiting her realm displayed the same level of consciousness. He would have to ask when there wasn't an intelligent wolf sitting in front of them.

"It is a pleasure to make your acquaintance, miss," he bowed his head respectfully to the wolf. "I hope any wolves in the wood are of similarly pleasant disposition to yourself. May I ask, though, if Vanilla is not your name, are you capable of writing what it should be in any language apart from your native 'wolf?'"

Addresses were important, and he didn't want to call her by an incorrect name. Also, he felt ridiculous asking if a wolf could write. Particularly if it could write in anything apart from 'wolf,' which wasn't even a language. Such was his lot in life here, though.
