Seasons Greetings from the Handshue
Family Westies
Brewster, Bannie and Beasley
 |
Our
first Westie. Duffer brought years of joy to
our household and defined us as Westie owners.
I can't begin to explain his personality. For
those fortunate enough to spend any time with
him, you know exactly what I mean. Other dogs
will fill my heart; I will feel fortunate if I
have another that fills my soul as Duffer did
for so many years. |

The
Westie that never grew up. Even in her old age,
she was mistaken for a puppy. A truly sweet dog
that always had a friendly lick for anyone she
met. For a time, we were the proud parents of
three Westies. (see below) Abbey's time as the
"queen of three" was short. Cancer finally took
it's toll and she joined Duffer on a cold
December day. Play on good friends! |

Brewster, or Boo Boo, is
the King of the house. He more resembles a
white Scottie rather than a Westie at times.
His favorite past time is chasing lights and
shadows, flies, birds, anything that moves. He
also spends time being Bannie's punching bag,
but rather enjoys it.
He begrudgingly takes his walk
every morning, because he knows it is followed
by breakfast.

Bannie, named for the
Single Malt (Oban) was a rescue dog who came
into our lives rather unexpectedly. It took her
all of 5 minutes to make herself right at home.
I don't know who could give up this dog, but it
is our good fortune. Her nickname is "Woo
Doggie". She is not at all shy and will not be
ignored.
Don't tell Brewster, but
Bannie is boss.

Beasley is rescue dog who claimed us. We
visited our local rescue after an emergency call
for blankets, food or donations (a rescued dog
unexpectedly had puppies). 11 Westies and an
out of place Cairn. What fun. Beasley is
small, only 11 pounds, but she runs the house.
She goes from 100 mile per hour to the greatest
lap dog. The other two think she is a good
addition also! One nickname is Miss Wiggles.
She does not wag her tail, she shakes her whole
body. |
