Keli's Korner ~ The Westie and The Wauzer

This would never happen while they are awake: Looks almost like they are holding hands in their sleep, doesn't it? Keli (left) and Penny (right) were very tired yesterday after having had a nice long walk in the afternoon. They both decided to follow me upstairs and fell asleep on our bed while watching TV. Normally, they would never sleep this close to each other and I don't think they even realized their paws were touching, they both were sleeping so soundly. Excuse the blurriness - photo was taken with the camera on my cell phone, then cropped and edited.

Happy St. Patrick's Day! Keli, the serene princess, on her recent birthday Penny We didn't pose for new pictures for St. Patrick's day, so Donna recycled some of our old favorites and gave them a green, shamrocky twist. Here's a couple of the St. Patrick's Day Westie decorations she put up:   I wonder if we'll get to try the corned beef this year? I think we'll probably get some of the carrots and potatoes. Thanks for looking at our blog, Keli edited: Nov-14-2018 Replaced photos from SewAmazin Flickr, uploaded to blogger

Can you guess what this is? Or used to be before Penny finished deconstructing it? scroll down for more It used to be one of these: The good thing about this destruction is that we think we can make a ball of our own from fleece scraps. And maybe we can make one with a squeaker inside, too, that isn't so easy for these Westies to rip apart. Hmmm . . . . We could try putting this one back together, too, but Penny is having too much fun playing with the spoils.

We had visitors last week -- Elora, Jenna and Jack came with their mom, Laurie. It was after lunch when they arrived and they brought some chocolate brownies, but we weren't allowed to eat them ('cuz chocolate is bad for doggies) but all the people ate them and said they were delicious. Me and Keli had biscuits and lamb jerky treats instead. Jenna drew this picture of me and Keli from her memory ; can you believe it? Doesn't it look almost just like us? We even have an oval rug just like that in the dining room! While they were here we went for a walk, and we played downstairs and I showed everyone how I roll upside down inside my tunnel and pushed my tent over and over. I can be very entertaining. Keli jumped up on the couch next to Jack, and he wasn't even afraid of her: Then after a couple hours it was time for everyone to go home and after a few minutes me and Keli were really tired so we made Donna take a nap with us on the couch: Th...

This coming Saturday marks twelve months from the day Penny first came to her forever home: January 24, 2008 After we brought Keli home in May 2002, I always wanted to have a second Westie -- an "heir and a spare" to our first Westie girl, Wyndi . Keli had come from a breeder because at the time I was still missing Wyndi and wanted a regular Westie (not a mixed breed) for the "heir". The "spare" could be a rescued Westie mix sometime later on down the road. After a year or two I reminded Rich about getting our second Westie and we both agreed it would be nice, but were we really ready for all the extra work that a second dog required? Transitioning from a senior dog to a baby puppy had been stressful; did we really want to go through puppyhood again? So each spring I'd search Petfinder.com for Westies in our area -- usually a few months after Christmas, there were dozens of listings for young dogs of all breeds. Every now and then there would...
