Our westie household

Our westie household started out with Babe. We fell in love with her, January 15th, 1990. 6 months after we had gotten Babe, the breeder called us and asked if we would like her mother. We jumped at the chance and said an eager yes. Mo, as we called her, was a scruffy, stinky mess. When we got her home, she had to have a fast visit to a vet. We discovered she had an uterine infection. We had to get that taken care of immediately. Mo came through it just fine. She was home 2 days when she got spooked and hurt her hip muscle. So back to the vet she went again. She had to have some stitches put in the muscle and spend another couple of days at the vet. When she finally got to her new home she enjoyed being with Babe. They got along wonderfully and gave us many hours of enjoyment. They travelled well and took trips to South Padre Island in Texas with us. We were hooked. We had Mo and Babe for many wonderful years. Unfortunately, Mo passed away on February 12th, 2001. She lived to be 13 years old. Babe was so lonely after losing Mo. We were also lonely. So we looked up some breeders and found our next westie, Petey. Petey was suppose to be a small westie. Well, he is a very big boy. He has the most wonderful personality. He arrooos when he wants your attention. Most of the time he also has a toy in his mouth. He is a big cuddler.
This is a baby picture of Petey. Posted by Hello Petey joined Babe in March of 2001. Babe was so happy to have him around.
