The Wild Westie

Thankful

2016-11-23T17:04:00.002-08:00

Happy Thanksgiving!! It's been a while since I've shown my furry face. But have no fear, I'm here! Enjoy your turkey and each other!!!

Artsy

2016-08-25T17:53:00.001-07:00

Remember a while ago when she painted a free hand picture of yours truly on a slate? She was out with her friends painting and drinking and having a great time...well she did it again!!! This time she put me on canvas. She had a little instruction on this one but that wine kicked in and she just painted me like I was right there posing for her. They told her to use the little brush to paint my furs but she just slapped some paint on the big brush and away she went...certainly not one to follow direction.

I must say I do like that bowtie...too bad I ran through one to many bushes and that bowtie got ruined.

Anyway, check it out. She's gonna put it in the bathroom with the rest of my art gallery. One day she will show you who's up there. There is a royal westie, a chunky westie, me in the leaves and a "covered in dirt" westie.

Cows Teeth

2016-08-05T19:20:00.002-07:00

So here is my teeth story! I was ~~walking on the beach~~ staying back at that house while they went up to the beach for the day. She has a seagrass addiction and before her chairs even in place she's out and about walking around the beach looking for some. Anyway, she's walking and walking and all of a sudden she swoops down and picks up what she thinks is a shell wrapped around a piece of drift wood. Back to her chair she goes to show off her find.

She has no clue what it is and all along I'm trying to tell her that it's a toofff!! So she posts a picture and before you know it people are going crazy over it. One lady said it was a dolphin toofff. One lady said it was a fossil. And before you know it they were all arguing over her treasure!! I just sat back and woofed.

Anyway, so it's a cow tooth! It's pretty and right now it's in my treasure bowl next to some driftwood and a shark tooth.

I will always look for treasures!

Salty Days

2016-06-18T08:43:00.001-07:00

Salt air in my nose, sand on my toes...um I mean paws. It's officially almost summer and I'm living the salty dog life on the beach (well not really cause I'm not actually allowed on the beach). Oh how I love dreaming of seaglass and cows teeth and cool beer, I mean water, on the sand. Yep I said cows teeth!!! More about that later.

Here's to chasing seagulls!!!

I'm ready

2016-04-19T16:49:00.002-07:00

Bring it on Spring!!! I got my new wardrobe and I'm ready for ya!

Spring

2016-03-21T17:08:00.001-07:00

Oh Spring is here, Oh Spring is herreee!!! Check it out. They got a new door and now she leaves it open so we can see the world. I even invited Monsterface to join in!! We see you neighbors!! We see your front yard squirrels!! AND yes, we even see you dog across the street that pees on the pool!!!!

Take that

2016-01-18T16:09:00.001-08:00

In the spirit of the StarWars phenomena I have one thing to say!! I WANT IN!!! I got a Darth Vadar for christmas from my auntie Kathleen and well…death to Darth Vadar. First I ripped off his cape and then I put a hole in his neck and then when he was least expecting it, I pulled out his stuffies!!!!!!!

Take that you villain!

p.s. Now that I have ripped him from limb to limb I don't want to play with him!

p.s.s They can't find his arm!!

p.s.s.s I have stuffies thrown all over the living room!

On the DL...again

2016-01-15T07:28:00.000-08:00

Yep, I'm sitting in the sidelines again!! A few months ago, I was, um, patrolling the yard...yeah that's what I was doing and well I kind of ran a little fast and well I kind of blew out my other knee. It had nothing to do with the crow in the back yard or the fact that monster face is a lightning bolt of a runner and I try to keep up!

So, back to what I was saying, I was patrolling and my knee got broke. At first they thought it was just partial but after further snooping they found out it was fully torn up! Soooo I have to cone on. I had a donut too but I popped that sucker with my fangs!!! I have a shaved leg but they left the hairs on my foot so I look like a real show dog!!!

Guys, I'm a real mess! They said I could hurt the other knee after I hurt the first one but who knew they were telling the truth.

My First One

2015-12-03T16:36:00.001-08:00

Look at what I got today!!! The first one of the season and the first one addressed just to me!!! Merry Christmas to me, oh how I love getting mail. I have a friend and his name is Sweet William the Scot! Thank you for remembering me!

So much...

2015-11-29T06:00:00.003-08:00

…for catching up with you guys!

I have one thing to tell you though…tis' the season for well…the dreaded "Hoke sit still!", "Shane over here!", "Just one more!", "I'll give you a treat if you just stay right there!"

Here's to the start of the most wonderful time of the year!

Outdoor shower

2015-09-06T12:09:00.000-07:00

If you have been to the beach you know that a house with an outdoor shower is a must. It's a must for the pipes, it's a must for an end of the day rinse and frankly it's just a must.

What is not a must is having to have an outdoor shower if you have four legs, if your a dog and well, if you are me!

She goes to the beach today and it's me who's subjected to an outside shower. Complete with rosemary shampoo and slathered on conditioner.

AND to top it off she called me, and I quote, STINKY BOY!! Ummm she's the one swimming with the weeds of the sea and the little fishes (that she totally freaked out about)! All I did was sit in the air conditioning and watched tennis.

I declare this cruel and unfair and well down right just not nice!

Here's to the summer and my now wet hairs blowing in the salty breeze!

Rumor

2015-08-22T05:39:00.000-07:00

well I read the tabloids and it occurred to me that maybe you guys all think I've run off with the dog store mascot or maybe am swimming with Mary Lee in the Atlantic or better yet eating French pastries on a yacht in the French Rivera!!

Rest assured you guys, I'm right here. Haven't been doing much but really enjoying the summer sand and salty air. I have a garden this year where Mr. Mouse lives and a nest of birds too that I have to watch. Oh and of course Monsterface who has grown up a little and really is giving me a run for my money with regard to "good dog", "bad dog". She's keeping me on my toes and frankly it's exhausting!

So know that I'm here, will be back in full force soon.

Boys Weekend

Good Dog vs. Bad Dog

2015-03-04T16:10:00.002-08:00

Can you guess which one I am??

Bird Dog

2015-01-27T06:10:00.000-08:00

I'm a Cairn! I'm feisty and scrappy and strong willed. I like to play and run and chase the ball in the yard. What I am not suppose to be is a bird dog.

Here's my story…

It's snowy here and I love to be outside so she opens the door and out Hoke and I go. Not two seconds later Hoke sounds off the alarm with his big barker and she comes right outside to make him stop. It's early here so she tries (hahah) to curb our barking until a reasonable hour.

Anyway, Hoke goes inside and I don't cause I'm the good dog and I don't bark outside…well sometimes. She pokes her head out the door again and what does she see? Feathers flying!! Next thing I know she's yelling (talk about waking the neighbors) and I'm getting dragged out of the bushes and now I'm grounded!

To date I've caught a rabbit and now a bird...and they made me leave both!! Will someone please tell them I have a job to do? Maybe they should read a book on me or something!

Don't worry though. That bird flew away, with a few less feathers I will say and I'm going to be on the leash for the next 100 years!

New Post

2015-01-15T16:46:00.004-08:00

Everyone KEEP OUT…except for Hoke, my mom, dad, my stuffs, treats, my nanny, my gramma, my aunty, my blanket, my bloggy friends and my favorite torn to shreds purple octopus!!

Night

2014-12-25T17:54:00.001-08:00

She put antlers on me and Monster had to wear a hat. We just had to if we wanted Santa to visit us. She said so herself. Little did she know, we knew he'd come all along. Who could deny us a visit after all!?

I myself partied a little too hard, I crashed well before the end of the party! Can you see me under there. They said I'd never lay under a faker tree but I don't see the difference. It's cozy under there and well if you must know, I like the soft tree skirt! When I think about it, all you can really see is my eyes and nose! Wonder if she planned that! Hoping you all had a wonderful Christmas!!!

Santa Paws!

2014-12-14T15:41:00.001-08:00

He was here, in our house!!! Oh yes he was!

Look what we got! Toys and toys and treats and more treats!!! Monster, as always, stole the first toy and well then came back to try and steal mine!

So ladies and jelly-spoons…it's confirmed!! We are on the NICE list!

Thank you Chico and Shiver…and Mama Sprinkles too!!!

Etched in Stone

2014-12-10T16:35:00.000-08:00

Well not really…but check this out! She went to a painting party where they had ~~wine~~ paint and all that she needed to paint whatever she wanted! Guess what she decided to paint!?? ME!!!!! That's right, not Monsterface, not Santa, not a snowy tree for the holidays. She decided to paint me…her boy…her favorite…her faithful companion…her buddy!!

Now you may ask, does she paint all the time? Well the answer is no way! This is where the wine came in we think:)

Not even Christmas

2014-11-23T15:00:00.001-08:00

It's not even Christmas…I haven't even had my Turkey! The calendar still says November.

SHE'S OUT OF CONTROL!!

Ahhhhhh

2014-11-10T11:43:00.001-08:00

While Hoke uses all his energy to rest and get better, I thought I would take over!!! Take over the world? Take over the house? I wish for both but will settle for taking over the blog!

I have to say I don't get to have much to myself. I mean I have to share my toys, my treats, my spot on the couch ( which he never knew was even there Til I came along)!

But there is one thing I'm claiming all my own. Just for me, no matter how much he wants in. The fireplace!! It's mine! That stone right in front is so warm and cozy!! I often go right there after dinner to relax!

Here I am, in the same place as I was last year at this time!! Resting right here!!!

Here's to warming up my friends!! It's starting to get chilly!

Here I am

2014-11-02T05:27:00.000-08:00

Who says I can't run and play for 6 months?! I'm trying to contain myself but it's tough, especially with Monsterface running around wanting to play. I may have a bum leg but I still have the umppff that I need to give it hell!

I miss my walks, I miss the yard, I miss chasing stuff. I'll be back to normal soon!

Cheeesssse!!!

2014-09-23T16:55:00.001-07:00

And I don't mean the camera posing type! Because of my surgery, I get to have cheese with my meds. She stopped giving it to me so I had to overdo it one day and bring the limping thing back!

So now I get more cheese. Don't you all worry, I'm under strict orders from the Dogter!! He agrees that I should have as much cheese as necessary and you all know what that means…..I'M NOT GETTING ENOUGH!!

Anywho, here's to the cows that help me get my medicine down.

Boo-Boo

2014-09-12T04:40:00.000-07:00

So I don't have a picture cause it's kinda nasty but I am wearing the cone of shame. I actually look like a bobble head when I try and trot with it on and I really can't navigate around it so am constantly bumping into things and well if you must know...I often trip on it! Ok ok I said it.

What happened you ask? Well it's Monsters fault. She runs like the wind and being the older dog, I can't let her beat me so I try and catch up. Two weeks ago I did just that and ended up on the DL list and out for the season. I tore my ACL...right in half. Didn't even need an MRI.

So you see, I'm recovering, being pampered, being carried everywhere I need to go...even though I've been using the leg for about a week.

Don't tell ok?!

Have you forgotten me?

2014-09-08T08:27:00.003-07:00

Oh brother! We are back. So much to tell, so much to say! I've missed you guys!
