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 comfortableContinue reading “Memories of Dylan Stephen: A Westie Now in the Land Beyond: Could Have I Handled Another Dog?”

Memories of Dylan Stephen: A Westie Now in the Land Beyond: A Couple of Endearing Nicknames
I have previously told you that The Stephen Family had many nicknames for me. I suppose all said and done I most like “Dilby”, “Dilly” and “Pumpkin”. Alex P down the street was often outside her house on the veranda watching the world go by. Sometimes she was smoking a cigarette and had a DietContinue reading “Memories of Dylan Stephen: A Westie Now in the Land Beyond: A Couple of Endearing Nicknames”
Memories of Dylan Stephen: A Westie Now in the Land Beyond: My Sudden Respect for Cats
Many humans assume put a cat and dog in each other’s space and a dog goes on attack mode. My one combative cat experience happened when I was barely out of puphood. Out for a walk I saw a cat ahead of me on the street and to the dismay of Master Robert I slippedContinue reading “Memories of Dylan Stephen: A Westie Now in the Land Beyond: My Sudden Respect for Cats”

Memories of Dylan Stephen: A Westie Now in the Land Beyond: My Bucket List
God decided when I should be born and he decided when I should die. I had a full life and I have no complaints. I would have preferred to die in my sleep as all of us dogs and humans wish for.

Memories of Dylan Stephen: A Westie Now in the Land Beyond: The Cleaning Lady and My Sixth Sense
Many dogs it is thought have a sixth sense. Master Robert and Mistress Fotini were amazed how I knew at least half an hour prior to the arrival of our Cleaning Lady that she was coming. I’d start barking and making a ruckus by the front door every single time without fail. Why I neverContinue reading “Memories of Dylan Stephen: A Westie Now in the Land Beyond: The Cleaning Lady and My Sixth Sense”
Memories of Dylan Stephen: A Westie Now in the Land Beyond: The Terrible Itch!
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!”

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. Mechanical as no creature here can be hurt. We usually run after our breakfast. 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!”
