Growing up
Up till 1 year.....
Sunday, 4th November...again!!
Gave D&D a bit of a scare after tea time. I had this awful itch in my shoulder...like something biting into it!
Di was in the shower & D called out for her to hurry & check it out.
It was a little fat tick ...eating into me!
AND I HAVE TICK PROTECTION!
D rushed me over to my breeder's house... P knows all about us dogs & D&D think she is wonderful.
Sure enough P had it out in a flash!
Wow... was I grateful...I'm turning 1 year old on Tuesday ....and D has promised me sardines for breakfast and a little bit of rump steak & vegies for tea....Don't want to miss out on that!!
So, make sure you have tick protection and get your owners to check you thoroughly often...especially after walks!

These are my very favourite flowers!
To eat of course!!! Yum!
The only trouble is that I have to be extremely careful getting them as they grow on cactus plants and cactus are really prickly.

Wow! I have a new girl friend. She comes to visit our house of a Friday morning and I really look forward to seeing her. Although she is a lot older than I am we race around the yard and have great fun.
Wee Jessie sure looks good in her tartans!

It is a long time since I have told you any of my news...life has been pretty full on.
You all know just how much we Westies love our tucker...well we can't get it down quickly enough and there is never enough of it...no matter how much we get, we still want lots more. Life is for eating!!!
Well, I was doing the usual, and I get quite impatient while I wait for my chicken neck to be broken up, and I gulped it down ready for the next piece, but somehow this bit wouldn't go all the way!!!
I had to be taken to the vet...won't tell you the whole gruesome story...but D&D won't feed me any bones at all now. D reckons it hurt his wallet as much as it hurt me!!
I am allowed to chew on a big shin bone in the back yard..that's all!

Do you think I should call the RSPCA???
I tapped nicely on the window asking to be let inside but D wouldn't let me in! All I wanted was a good nap on the cream leather lounge...it was a big effort digging that hole in the garden. Sometimes D&D are hard to reason with!!!

Teddy & I love to pile up on D's Chair and watch the news!
Oh, almost forgot to tell you...I very nearly lost my tail today. Di was cleaning the back glass doors & windows. I was helping and she shut the door on my tail!!! I know she didn't mean it but OUCH it hurt!!

Teddy likes to watch the news on television but I reckon it's boring...too much politics...so I have a nap on the big chair with them.
Almost forgot to tell you...I have all my new teeth now. D keeps showing them to everyone and I get embarrassed.

I had my first haircut today...a real Westie haircut...and you wouldn't think it but I came home exhausted and had to have a good long sleep.
I really look like Westie now!
Actually had a visitor in the garden this afternoon...an echidna! D wouldn't let me near it but I had a good growl from the window. They didn't want Teddy & me to annoy it. Teddy told me all about them, he used to see lots of them at his last home.

Di went shopping today and came home with a new doggie tag for me...so now I have my address & telephone number on me all the time...just in case I get lost!
Sunday, 12th February, 2012
D loves his old comfy slippers...so do I...they make a great pillow! D & I strolled the walkway along the lakeside this morning and I need a big rest now! We met more people and doggies...I've got lots to think about!
Saturday, 11th February, 2012
I used to think this wombat foot scraper was enormous...now look at me...I'm bigger than he is!
Thursday, 9th February, 2012
Had my other vaccination today...now I am big enough to go for walks with D. We went down to One Tree Point and I saw waves & sand for the first time...even met a couple of other friendly dogs. D reckons I was excellent!

I have almost grown out of this little baby bed... I do have a bigger one too but this one shows how big I'm growing.
Sunday, 4th February, 2012
D has been teaching me how to take turns and really be polite. Teddy is very good at that & I'm getting better every practice...this is my favourite thing to learn.
Monday, 30th January, 2012
D fashioned a beaut new seat belt harness ...and now I can sit on the seat and always be safe in the car.
This is soooo comfy...I had a little nap.
Sunday, 29th January, 2012
Teddy & I are such good mates now!
Here we are making sure D doesn't miss any bits when he washes Di's car.

We play a lot together now...
Notice who is on top? It's great fun...sometimes we play tug-a-war with the yellow toy & and Teddy can drag me along and I still hold on. I can even get it back off him....sometimes!
Australia Day!
Here I am harnessed up and ready for some action.
It's two whole weeks more before I get my revaccination and we have to practise with the lead.
Don't really know why they want me to wear it...it stops me from doing what I want to do.
Oh..forgot to tell you...
MY EARS ARE UP!
And I can race up and down the stairs without any trouble at all...it's EASY!!

STAIRS!!
STAIRS!!!!
There is another world up there...I love it!
That's where all the nice smelly things are...like socks & shoes, comfy chairs, lots of power cords, another computer room & another bathroom...
I can get up the stairs really well now...race up no trouble at all...
BUT I DON'T LIKE COMING DOWN!!!
D carries me down to the bottom step and then I can jump onto the tiles again safe...but I will have to grow a bit more before he will let me try the whole lot!

Di went shopping today and brought home a few surprises.This one is good, but don't tell her...I really like the plastic pots out of the shade house best of all as they make a loud crackling noise when I chomp on them. There aren't many left on the ground level now...think they have been moved to a higher shelf!

D&Di had a wedding anniversary yesterday and they both forgot all about it till this morning...guess they were thinking about Teddy & me. Well, they are going out to lunch for a little while. Teddy reckons if we both pretend we are asleep, we may be able to stay here on this doggie bed until they come back. Teddy is real smart and I am learning quickly from him.
Friday, 13th January, 2012
We are definitely good friends now...Teddy lets me & my toys share his special sun bed. Teddy is about to go off to be groomed so I will have the whole bed to myself.
Thursday, 12th January, 2012
Here I am with my big mate Ted, enjoying the morning sunshine.
We are good mates sometimes...
and I am learning a lot from him...but often I just get so excited I can't help myself and jump all over him.
He doesn't like that!
He doesn't like that!
Ecstasy!
Just finishing off today's chicken wing!
Tuesday, Jan 10:
Well...big progress!
Little Ted will actually stay in the same room as me now & he even talks to me.
I really try to behave for him because he is 9 years old and I want to be his friend.

Teddy & I both had our wormer tablets this morning...D put mine in some yummy mango. I only had 1/4 of a tablet but Teddy got to have a whole tablet 'cause he weighs 10 kg. D & Di are being very careful about his weight ...he does have a very fat tummy!
Oh...I worked out how to climb up the steps...I can make it up to the half way landing. D found me and wouldn't let me go any further ...he even put a barrier there now so I can't do it again until I'm a bit older. He said I was good at going up but that I would probably roll all the way back down and may get hurt!

Monday, 9th January, 2012: Spent lots of time in the garden today...
9 WEEKS OLD...
Yummy! 11.00am is chicken wing time!
Chicken wings are yummy!
My house mate...
Little Ted still doesn't like me at all...I try to be very friendly and jump at him, try to grab his tail and get him to play but he doesn't seem to understand...he just growls back at me!!!!!
I even leave him part of my chicken wing bone when I've finished with it but he won't play!

I managed to get really close to him today!
Okay...so he was on the other side of the glass...but we were close.
I raced outside and pretended I wasn't interested in him.
Then...
I quickly turned around and barked at him
He just sat and looked at me.
Here I am helping tidy up the pots in the shade house...
Some one must have been playing in there...they were a bit of a mess!
If I hide...
they won't know who did it!
