Meet Toby!

Toby's mum Gillian says, "Toby is 15 and a half years old and he was rescued at age 5. He's a cantankerous old man who likes to have lots of snuggles and his own way. His favourite place in the world is nestled between my husband and me, making sure we are not being affectionate to each other but only to Toby. He can sense when a new squeaky toy has been bought for him and will rummage through the bags until he finds it. He spits out his peas that are in his food and chews his jumbone on my rug knowing I will walk on it without my slippers. He has lots of friends and is loved by everyone."

Toby likes...
Opening presents, squeaky toys, snuggles, cheese and walking in the woods

He dislikes...
Veggie sausages, peas, little yappy dogs because they scare him

The My Westie is My Bestie shop is open! 

Here you will find fun Westie related gear and merchandise. As part of our desire to help Westies in need, we will be donating a portion of the proceeds to chosen charities. 

For the months of October, November and December we are raising money for WestieMed. Read the story below about how WestieMed helped a Westie who has joined us on many walks in Windsor Great Park. 

Twenty percent of the proceeds from sales on the My Westie is My Bestie shop will be donated to this very worthy organization. 

They help rescued Westies in need of medical attention. WestieMed is an all-volunteer, non-profit created to distribute financial aid to injured or ill rescued Westies. 

All projects and activities of WestieMed are funded by charitable contributions. With these contributions from donors, they help injured or ill Westies, giving them a second chance at adoption and love from a permanent family. 

Our Westie friend Pasha started her journey as a foster pup in March 2013. At that time she was very withdrawn, unfit, not socialized, had a severe yeast infection, skin problems, wispy and thin hair, her back was dipped with the weight due to being overweight. She didn't bark and, as she was withdrawn, she spent her days finding places to hide. Treats were the only way she would appear from her hiding place. 

A family was following Pasha's journey on social media. In June 2013 they lost their little Westie, Poppy, and were heartbroken. The family made the decision to get another little Westie so they made inquiries about fostering Pasha. They met Pasha twice and received the wonderful news they could foster her.

Unfortunately, Pasha's health continued to be an issue and the foster family needed some help. This is where WestieMed stepped in and gave assistance. With their help, Pasha was able to receive the treatment. To learn more about WestieMed and how you can get involved or help, go to www.westiemed.org.

If you have a charity you would like us to raise money for, please send the name, website address, and UK registered charity number to My.Westie.Is.My.Bestie@gmail.com. We are looking for charities to support in 2018.

Special announcement!

As many of you are aware, I moved abroad from England this past summer to get married. This meant that it looked like our Westie Walks would become a once a year affair on my annual visits to the UK. Luckily we have a group of Westie Walkers who are pitching in and helping to host the walks in my absence. 

​We hope to see you at one of our future walks!

Westie of the Week! Meet Charlie Boy!

18/4/2017

 

Meet Charlie Boy!

Charlie Boy likes...
  • chews
  • cuddles
  • walkies
  • his toy squirrel
He dislikes...
  • foxes
  • cats
  • police sirens
  • milk

Charlie boy's mum, Julie, writes, "I bought Charlie Boy from a local breeder over six and a half years ago and never looked back. This little boy makes friends wherever he goes. He has bags of personality, he loves to be loved and is extremely bright. Charlie spends a lot of time with my dad whilst I'm at work. Charlie has brightened my dad's days. They go walking by the river most days and have made many friends. Charlie has given my dad another lease on life!"

Westies of the Week!

Meet Mollie and Isabel!

Mollie and Isabel like...
  • frisbees
  • curling up in freshly folded or drying washing
  • chasing cats and rats
  • 'dogscaping' the garden
  • tummy rubs from visitors
They dislikes...
  • the manual lawn mower
  • cars sneaking up from behind
  • wearing their raincoats (even if it cold and frosty)
  • burglars
Mollie and Isabel's mum, Michele, writes, "A typical trip to the off-lead exercise park (which we are lucky to have located next to a beautiful river) will involve Isabel joyfully bouncing up to other other dog's owners for a smooch, then chasing flying birds (favourites are shags, ravens, ducks, and pelicans) along the waters edge. Mollie likes the hard surface of the pedestrian path for a trot, greeting runners and baby strollers, and finishing with a sneaky dip in the muddy storm water drain or a roll in a nice smelly dead fish! Sometimes we even get to greet dolphins along the river wall."

Meet Wesley!

Wesley likes...
  • sunbathing
  • muddy walks
  • squeaky Christmas toys
  • leftover roast dinners
He dislikes...
  • the Hoover
  • the dustman
  • the lawnmower 

Wesley's sister, Issy, writes, "Wesley is adorable and unique because every time he meets someone, it does not matter who, he rolls over onto his back and expects belly tickles. If he is bored of the tickling, he will put his ears down and smile. This has happened ever since we got him! We saw him in a breeders house and we knew straight away that he was the dog for us. He is really a lovely natured pet."

Meet Millie!

Millie likes...
  • cheese train
  • journeys
  • other dogs and people
  • wearing nice collars and bandanas
  • opening presents
She dislikes...
  • raw carrots
Millie's mum, Christine, writes, "Millie was our first dog. We got her at 12 weeks old and she was adorable. She loves socialising. She loves to sit next to us and cuddle. She met her bestie, another Westie, George at puppy school. Since then, they have been on holiday together, many walks, and lots of photo shoots. They both attend the same daycare and are inseparable. Whenever she sees him, she pounces on him and talks to him. I take her on train journeys to the north of England and we never get there without her making a lot of friends. She is so relaxed and loves looking out of the window. She makes our day and we take her everywhere we can."
