Hello Westie friends! Visit our Westie Walk Registration page to let us know you can join us for the walk coming up on the 1st of September!   Daisy tending to the garden. Daisy loves word park. Anytime she hears the word 'park' she is up and down the stairs. She loves treats. She’ll do anything for them even 20 times. And she loves her family and her neighbours. They ask her family many times if they can kidnapped her. Daisy is well known in the area where she lives because she only lives one minute from the park. Daisy's best friend is her human sister Ella. They are like bacon and eggs. In the night time Daisy loves her bed. She has five beds and dog house in garden and lot of toys. In summertime she loves family camping holidays and sea walks.
Daisy is very fussy with food. She hates rain and water. She can’t stand magpies (as they steal her food when she is outside on sunny days), squirrels, and, of course the local cats. These cats act so brave when they walk along the fence. Daisy's family says, "She is full of energy. Our kids love her. She has been a member of our family for two years. She is very well behaved and sometimes very stubborn. Our whole neighbourhood loves her."  Bobby loves sausages, cuddles and snoozing on the sofa
He doesn't like loud noises, rain and the veterinarian. Bobby's mum Claire writes, "Bobby, otherwise known as Mr Bob, is 13 years old (although everyone says he doesn't look it). He has been with us since he was a pup and has become King Bob, head of the house. He loves to sleep everywhere, other than his bed and enjoys nothing more than a cuddle on the sofa. His favourite treat is a bit of sausage and will beg until he gets his favourite snack. He is not a fan of loud noises and refuses to go out for a wee if he hears something mysterious. The vet's office is also a place of dislike for Mr Bob, and he gets a little shaky on the way there. But after a cuddle and a treat, he is back to his normal bossy self." Islay loves sitting in the sunshine, rubbing her head in the snow, cuddles with mummy, digging in the garden, treats (of course!) loves to chase squirrels and chipmunks, and following mummy around the house.
She does not like it when the dishwasher or the laundry machines beep, cats make her crazy, baths are a no-go, trips to see the veterinarian, or loud noises like thunder or big bangs. Islay joined her family as a rescue pup. She is very a very happy sweet girl.  Mr Wiggles loves walks, soft spots, chewies, belly rubs, summer haircuts.
He is not so sure about squirrels, cats, lizards, bunnies, possums, and the mailman. Mr Wiggles mum writes, "Mr Wiggles was on his afternoon walk and came across a big black cat nestled in the neighbour's hedge. They proceeded to have a stare-down while Mr Wiggle's tail wagged back and forth, and the cat's ears folded back as it hunkered down for the attack. Wig gleefully smelled, cat scarily hissed, Wig yipped, cat growled, Wig wagged, the cat curled its tail. I told him to kiss the kitty cat, and Wig nuzzled in while the cat sat frozen in horror as he accepted the Westie tongue on his face. Mr Wiggles was very pleased with himself and looked at me for an acknowledgement. Never again will I see this..." Eddie loves walkies, walkies and more walkies!!!
He is not a fan of puppies, pigeons and not going for a walkies at least five times a day! I’m Eddie McWestie. I’m a rescue boy who was found strolling the streets of Sheffield. I’m a very handsome boy, so it’s thought my past life was a stud dog. I'm an independent chap, my family say I’m like an old-fashioned teddy bear as I’m okay with being picked up for cuddles but I like grumble and make some odd noises. I’ve got a little sister called Rosie who I pretend not to like, but we do get on well, and we look out for each other when the cat is about and looking for a fight! I love walkies and can easily walk miles and miles in a day without getting tired! Mum said she’d love to have my energy levels sometimes! Rosie loves cuddles (before getting too hot), little tennis balls, any babies (human, puppy or kitten!)
Rosie isn't so keen on breakfast being fed late; baths (after rolling in what mummy calls 'unpleasant smells' but odours that Rosie thinks, are delicious); and her teeth being brushed when she has eaten said delightful smell. I’m Rosie McWestie, and I’m a rescue Westie! I’ve been with my Mum for about a year. I had very bad skin, and my old family didn’t treat me or my bad skin correctly, so a lady from the RSPCA removed my sister and me! My older sister got adopted very quickly, but it took me a little longer. My mummy found me on social media and met me straight away! We all fell in love with each other, and I now have a lovely brother called Eddie, too! I’m very spoilt and have lots of cuddles and kisses, toys to play with and different collars for when I roll in mud and lots of friends and my doggy daycare! I’m very cute now all my fur has grown back!  For the next three months, we will be raising money for the RSPCA. Twenty percent of each item purchased on either the US or UK My Westie is My Bestie shop will be donated to this very worthy charity. Two dogs in our Westie community greatly benefited from the medical help they received from the RSPCA. A big thank you to the RSPCA in Putney for taking care of these little dogs in their hour of need. From the beginning of April until June 30, 2018, with any purchase on the My Westie is My Bestie shop a donation of 20% of the item will be donated to the RSPCA. So pick up some cute Westie goodies and help animals at the same time. For the months of January, February and March 2018, we will be raising money for Westie Rescue UK. Visit the My Westie is My Bestie shop and find items for yourself or friends and family. Twenty percent of each item bought will be donated to Westie Rescue UK on the last day of March 2018. Westie Rescue UK was founded by Kevin Baker and his partner Nikki on 20th November 2016. In the beginning, the rescue consisted of just Kevin and Nikki, fostering in their own home and it was funded solely from their personal savings. Since then, the number of staff involved has increased significantly and consists of volunteers undertaking a variety of roles from fundraisers and fosterers to transport providers. Westie Rescue UK prides itself on being a non profit organisation and finally gained registered charity status on the 22nd June 2017. Westie Rescue UK Mission Statement
Westie Rescue UK will rescue any Westie they are made aware of that is in danger or need. Their network of volunteers will help with home checks and transportation. The network of foster carers will ensure that there is a place of safety for each dog. Initially, the dogs will be placed in a foster home in order for an assessment to be undertaken on their temperament to establish what type of home and owners who would be suitable to adopt or foster. A full vet check and any treatment required. Adopters will be made aware of any health conditions where necessary. All dogs will be neutered before going to a new home. Westie Rescue UK seeks suitable forever homes for each dog where possible. If a dog is unsuitable for adoption they will stay in long term foster with a staff member of Westie Rescue UK. This wonderful charity operates a non destruction policy for all healthy dogs.  Westie Rescue UK |
