Our westie family grew

Babe soon learned that a puppy at her age was a pawfull. That's when I decided to look around for another westie to add to our family. I had joined a website called The Terrier Club. The members on there talked alot about adopting rescues. So I looked at the site of Westie Rescue of Missouri. After a couple of months there was a young female westie named Princess on there. I filled out an application. I waited and pretty soon I got a phone call. After an interview with me and a home check, I got a call saying we were approved to be Princess's new family. We set up a time to drive to her foster mom's home to met her. It was a five hour drive which seemed like forever. But pretty soon, Babe, Petey, and us arrived. Oh my Princess was a scared little gal. She had been rescued from a puppymill where she was forced to get pregnant before she was even a year old. Princess was 13 months old when she delivered 6 puppies. But her poor health only allowed 3 to survive. She was fed very well in rescue and got her strength up and nursed her 3 puppies.
Princess and her puppies Posted by Hello It came time for them to be adopted and then her. She joined our family August 18th, 2001. She is 7 months older than Petey. But that didn't bother Petey. He thought she was a great zooming partner. It took a few months for Princess to learn the ropes, but she did. Even to this day, Princess is changing and blossoming more and more.
Her and Petey are the bestest of friends.
