I've noticed a couple of pictures of these smashing little dogs, Smudgers especially and of course my own avi and was just reading the National Service thread and saw them mentioned so decided to make this thread to talk about them.
I'm the proud owner of a 5 year old Westie called Bolly. She is completely nutty and I love her to bits. I hadn't had much experience of owning a Westie before we had Bols, her mom and dad belong to my husband's cousin and were the first ones I had come across although I have been round dogs all my life, my mom and dad always having a dog and my brother owns a ex racing greyhound.
Anyway, when Maddie (Bolly's mom) had her first litter we were asked if we would like a puppy, I'd just had to give up work because of ill health and was at home all day, I wasn't sure at first as I love cats and at that time had 3, now down to one as my big girls have passed on. But, I went to see the litter, picked what would become Bolly up at 1 week old and she snuggled up in my arms and that was it! Love at first sight!! Even though she then did a poo on my hoodie!!
She is such a character as other Westie owners will know, she thinks the whole world loves her, and to be fair a lot of people do. She's known by name by a lot of people locally and if I'm out on my own, I very often get a accusing "Where's Bolly?!"
She's fast asleep on my hip and leg as I type, sharing the chair is her favourite way of sleeping, my husband says she's my dog, but she loves to see him when comes home from work and as I say, she spends the most time with me, so I suppose she's always going to be more my dog. It's funny because at the moment, I have Bolly lay alongside me and Fudge my tabby cat curled in the crook of my arm, both comfortable and asleep.
Anyway, enough of my Girly Girl (her pet name), I look forward to reading about other Westies to see if they are all as barmy as mine and her dad who she takes after, Smudgers photo reminds me of him.
