West Highland Terriers have a reputation that is somewhat itchy! Some of us Westies are prone to skin problems. I won’t go into the details but suffice to say a little itch became a hot inflammation. Biting and chewing gave glorious but temporary relief but moments later the itch burned more. Poor me and TheContinue reading “Memories of Dylan Stephen: A Westie Now in the Land Beyond: The Terrible Itch!”

Memories of Dylan Stephen: A Westie Now in the Land Beyond: No More Black and White Squirrels!
West Highland Terriers are not hunting dogs but perhaps more a term I hate “ratters” or “earth dogs”. Our speciality are rodents. We are fierce diggers and burrowing in a hole will not save a rodent we are on the trail of. Here in Toronto there were rodents and yes I have seen rats andContinue reading “Memories of Dylan Stephen: A Westie Now in the Land Beyond: No More Black and White Squirrels!”

Wasn’t it Mama Cass that died in the bathtub after choking to death on a ham sandwich? Geez, what a way to go! Well I was close to a year old when I had a Mama Cass incident.

Memories of Dylan Stephen: A Westie Now in the Land Beyond: Walking Such a Great Joy!
I am running with a pack of West Highland Terriers in The Land Beyond. We chase mechanical rats and a whole host of rodents up big hills, in gullies and forests.

It takes my mind off what I left behind beforeContinue reading “Memories of Dylan Stephen: A Westie Now in the Land Beyond: Walking Such a Great Joy!”

Memories of Dylan Stephen: A Westie Now in the Land Beyond: West Highland Terrier Vacuum Cleaner Pays the Price!
West Highland Terriers, like so many other dogs, love food action. By that I mean patiently waiting as our human masters prepare food in their kitchens. Is it instinct that has us vacuum up anything that “falls” on the floor by our keen noses. Yes I was not born yesterday so I know sometimes ourContinue reading “Memories of Dylan Stephen: A Westie Now in the Land Beyond: West Highland Terrier Vacuum Cleaner Pays the Price!”
Memories of Dylan Stephen: A Westie Now in the Land Beyond: The Art of Polite “Begging”
I remember Master Robert reading Mistress Fotini an article from the New York Times about how we dogs have survived so close to humans for many years. Apparently, the author believed dogs conned humans for food so successfully they assured themselves survival. Balderdash. Many pet owners refer to dogs “begging” for food. How insulting! IContinue reading “Memories of Dylan Stephen: A Westie Now in the Land Beyond: The Art of Polite “Begging””
