More than other dogs one sees double Westies with a master. I am not sure why? We West Highland Terriers are independent dogs and manage quite well on our own in a human family. I will admit I was a singleton meaning I was the only pup in the litter. Perhaps this made me comfortable living solo? Master Robert and Mistress Fotini gave some thought in my senior years to adding another dog to the family. A few years before my demise Mistress Fotini found a small dog on a walk that was lost. She brought it home fearing if it strayed to a nearby main road it would be squashed. The dog was a bit bossy and tried to monopolize the attention of Master Robert and Mistress Fotini. Yes I know Master Robert who knows dogs (with some 45 years of dog experience) so well was simply trying to calm down the poor fellow but I was JEALOUS! In any case calls were made to Toronto Animal Control and the owner came to collect the dog. A bossy dog is not welcome in my sphere. Good riddance.
And two years before my demise while walking in my favourite off leash park in Toronto, Sherwood Park we met Reggie a cute Havanese mix with his foster parents. Man we hit it off big time. Master Robert and Mistress Fotini learnt it was an Egyptian rescue dog from Snookie’s Society a small dog rescue organization based in Toronto. We put our name in but alas it was too late. Then there was another dog we all liked but when I went to visit his foster parents where I said a quick hello and went on a discovery mission in their backyard peeing up a storm. I love discovering and leaving pee mail messages. Needless to say the report was very erroneous in saying I had no interest in the dog. INCORRECT! I liked that dog but sometimes we West Highland Terriers just have other priorities like peeing!
So I am in The Land Beyond now and poor Master Robert and Mistress Fotini are a bit like a ship without a rudder. But the rudder is a dog. I may be in Davey Jones’s Locker but Master Robert and Fotini are on the ship and the seas ahead are a bit rough.
