I love westies more than people!!! My Winston turns 15 on 12/04/23 ! When he goes my heart will be gone ! I may as well be dead! Angle’s with paws ! JohnBoyUtah
Dogs are such loving, loyal animals. Wow! 15 years old. I hope our little man lives as long as your baby. It's always devastating when a dog goes to the Rainbow Bridge ❤
Lost Winston Bentley McNab my Westie 5/8/24 my wife and I are DEVASTATED. Cannot get another we are to old! He went 15 1/2 years heart failure. We cry a lot . Might be disrespectful but I cried more Winston than my mom and Dad !❤️😎🇺🇸
It's beyond crazy when someone comes onto our property- they go into hyper alarm mode - you have to cover your ears the three are so loud together. At night they split up and each on sleeps on a different bed with a different family member - I could go on and on, endless stories - Westies are sensational companions- @@Travellivelearn
My two brothers 10mths...are so stubborn but recall comes with a treat. It works Snowy fell in our pond swam to waterfall and his brother Milo ran round and grabbed his collar and helped him out...so touching to see.. love them
My heart is melting! I had two westies - Kadie and Joey - who were 9 months apart and the loves of my life. They're gone now but when I watch videos like this I want to start all over again with another westie! They're the spunkiest little breed of dog and so, so lovable!
Thank you for your comment. Sorry for your loss - pets are certainly apart of the family. They certainly are amazing little animals. Our little, London is still quite independent and is finally starting to show his affectionate side. I love your description - spunkiest little breed. That's so very true :)
My Westie lived exactly 12 years to the day from when I first saw him til he passed at my side. There's no describing the joy he brought to my life, nor the depth of the sorrow I felt losing him. I don't know how to explain it other than I must have been the most pious saint in some previous life to have had him as my Bubba.💔
That's a very nice video. I have a Westie who is turning 13yo this year. He is a sweetheart. I used have a maltipoo female, Pelucia, who passed last year at age 13 from a disease. But both of them got along. My westie is very tranquil but he used to do anything he could think of to annoy Pelucia, once she got mad at him, my westie would go on with his life happy wagging his tail as if he had accomplished his mission ...lol. He is so funny. He got depressed after the passing of Pelucia, but we just happened to have gotten 2 new puppies, so that helped us all, specially my westie, to grief. Westies are so sweet! Enjoy yours.
💖 I had my Westie Toby from 8 weeks old until his passing at age 16. He was the dog love of my life and was such a loving dog, especially as he matured. Feisty but also very in tune with me. He seemed concerned when I was sick. Smartest dog I ever had. I miss him every day. Incredible breed! Congratulations and enjoy your little one! I called Toby "sweetpea". 😃❤
Wow 16. Great to hear Toby brought so much joy. Our London is certainly a feisty little devil lol We are still in the process of teaching him good habits. London is an independent littler man. If you have any tips they'd be greatly appreciated lol Thank you for sharing :)
@@Travellivelearn London is so precious! 😍 I don't have too many training tips, unfortunately, because I attempted training but it didn't really stick with him. 😆 But I would say to be especially observant about what's on the floor or near where he can dig or find something. Westies can find things that we humans don't know are there. Toby once dug out something that was on the bottom of a chair leg that prevented scratching on floors, and it was a large pin with a needle on it. I got it from him but was horrified that he may have swallowed that. Also I gave him food with a plastic spoon and he bit down so hard that the spoon broke and he swallowed the top half. I had to rush him to emergency where they got him to vomit up the plastic. It could have been bad, lol. So I would say don't let London lick utensils. One more thing I can think of is that as Westies age, they can get very bad dry eyes. If his eye starts to get red, you should get that checked to see if he needs eyedrops to prevent ulcers. 😊🌷
Had my first Westie at age 7. Believe or not I named him London! 58 now and on my 4th Westie. Just is no other breed that brings so much joy to table! Can’t imagine my life without one. Don’t want too ever.
Hi Jan, they certainly have a mind of their own. Or London is a little devil. His personality is really starting shine as he gets older. Wow! Four Westies - we can certainly see the attraction :)
Love my Westin, Winston Bentley McNabb ! He is 13 has had diabetes for 5 years, went blind in 4 months we got the operation new lenses so he could see, on heavy meds now HBP, heart issues, clasping Wind- pipe . I recon we spend 30k American on him . He is my boy I love him, once you have the love of a Westie your never the same . JohnBoyUtah
Winston is lucky to have you as his dog mom. Emily, 3 Westies ago, had a knee and hip replaced because of her craziness in chasing birds, those many 180°+ turns did a number on her. She recovered nicely and continued her bird folly! We are as devoted to these beautiful beasties as they are to us and we'll do whatever we can to help keep them whole.♡
oh they are stubborn unless a treat is involved..got two puppies six months old.beautiful little boy.. brothers.bought both cos couldn't seperate them.love them to bits
getting a westie was the best decision you ever made i have had 3 westies since i was 8 yrs old 30 years of those loveable characters i lost my corrie november last year and i miss him so much..... london will be your best friend look after him well
Wow! Three Westies. We're still adapting to our little guy. He's a quirky dog but we love him. Sorry to hear about Corrie. They are such a big part of the family. Thank you for leaving a comment :)
Such a heartwarming video, Westies are the Best! London is super cute, he's about the same age of my two Westies, Murphy and Riley. London reminds me so much of Murphy (born in Limerick, Ireland) when he was a puppy. If you get another Westie, you can name him Sydney! hahahahaha
Thank you 🙏 He is our little pride and joy. London is a real character. You have two Westies? Wow 😯 I love their names 😊 If we get another Westie we are thinking of calling it Paris 😆
My baby is almost 3 1/2. I noticed London did the head turn when you tried to kiss him! 😂 My baby does the same. He has brought so much joy to my life. Glad you're part of the Westie family!
I have just been watching your video with our little westie puppy Maisie and she loves London too. Love the phase when their ears are still floppy. London is so handsome. The westitude is real. You are so right. Grab a cuddle when they are still sleepy. Thanks for sharing this lovely time in Londons life.
Amazing!! As I said earlier, 8m about to puck up my 7th Westie and I named her "Maisie Rose!!" I was looking for "precious" in Scots Gaelic and Maisie popped-up as "pearl." Sweet enough for me♡
@@maryklock9274 Maisie is our 7th westie. She has a big brother Barney who is 2 1/2. I’m really making the most of this precious early puppy stage. You enjoy your little Maisie Rose. Our Maisie is just adorable (13 weeks)
Had a Westie for yrs. I miss him so. Best dog ever. Stubborn, protective playfull and loved food. Highly intelligent dogs. Oh I swear every time he got groomed he would have an attitude but the. Couldn’t stop looking at his reflection 😂. I can tell London is so loved. And loves y’all back!
Hi Sydney, he certainly has all those traits you mentioned and then some lol. Sometimes London gets pauses to admire himself as well. Any plans on getting another Westie?
I love that he couldn't stop looking at himself in the mirror! In reading all remarks, it's clear to me that Westies are "the same" all over the world! I LOVE that! A package of intelligence, playfulness, devotion, and love wherever they are. ♡
Thank you for sharing London with us. He's quite the proper gent and it's clear that he is crazy in love with you! I saw a bumper sticker once that stated it all: "If it's not a Westie, it's just a dog."
This was so sweet to watch. Our Westie, Gidget, was an incredible dog. She grew up with our young family and was loads of fun. I miss her still to this day. Congrats on getting your London. 🐾
And... I'm about to bring little Maisie Rose into our family!! 8 1/2 weeks old!! So excited (I think Lucy is, too but she can't show it now, can she?!)
Hallo, Grüße aus Deutschland. Wir hatten bis vor 2 Jahren auch einen Westi. Tiffi. Ihr seid eine ganz tolle Hund Mensch Familie. Alles Gute und viel Spaß Miteinander 🙋
a quick translation: "Hi, greetings from Germany. up until 2 years ago we also had a westie Tiffi. you're one great dog/human family. all the best and have a load of fun together" normally i charge for this kind of thing ;o)
They reach a stage where they are no less stubborn but do what you ask of them out their love for you. It will continuously break your heart. Speaking of broken hearts we realized when Casey our first Westie was about 12 We would have A very difficult time when he passed we got a little sister for him. It was a little much for him as he did not have the energy to handle a puppy. He passed at 14 and we immediately got another boy which allowed Arrabella to be kind of a "sister/mommy" to our Finley since as much as we love them they are all spayed or neutered because if we didn't Disney would have to do a sequel with Westies instead of Dalmatians.
It’s so difficult when dogs go to the rainbow 🌈 bridge. We had a dog called Harry and it took us years before we could talk about him without getting emotional. They become such a big part of the family. We keep talking about getting another one but agree we’d prefer a puppy that’s similar age. We feel your pain. I don’t even want to think about London leaving us. He’s in bed now with us as I type this 😊 if we had a big house and yard we’d have an army of them as well 😀
The cutest dog you will ever have they are social they want to be in the middle of everything they are feisty they are hard-headed don't want to listen think they run the house and run the world have loud barking when they're outdoors mines was pretty quiet when he was in Good thing or great thing about him he never chew furniture never chewed shoes but he was just hard-headed stubborn I miss him
He is adorable . And everyone always have your Westies on a harness and Leash, and when you come home you'll get to best greeting from a Westie , and you are right that is a best time to get the kisses from a Westie
Love this. I have a 2 1/2 year old WestiePoo. Very informative and I like the grass bed you have for your precious so he can go as needed without delays.
Ha ha. My westie’s mantra. Is are you talking to me. Stubborn as hell but my best buddy. Recall is not in their dna. Favourite thing is to roll in the snow. As we live in Scotland 🏴 we can do that. Enjoy your wee boy. He looks adorable.
Hi Nelly thanks for the comment!! One day we hope to bring our little London to Scotland so he can roll in the snow too. That's so funny you mention the 'recall' thing - we were just talking this morning trying to figure out where we've gone wrong in the training lol Take care, Sarah & Cooper :)
Oh, I was visiting beautiful Scotland before Covid and I was privileged to meet three Westies during my travels. All so similar, they're a joy no matter where they are!
@@maryklock9274 we are in several Westie groups here in Australia. We love seeing all their pretty faces. Sarah and I always say hello/stalk fellow Westy owners :)
Westies Are Besties. Loki (2 years old) says hi! He's an allergic little spud, having lots of skin issues, but he's the sweetest natured little scamp ever, and I love him to bits
After trying numerous shampoos and medication for my Westie, Rowan, aged 8 years, skin problems, at last I have found the answer. Half an Apoquel tablet per day, lots of fish and nothing with animal or beef derivatives.
Thank you so much for this video is was incredibly helpful since my family have found a westie it's going to be born January 24th 2022 and were going to get it in April so this video was very help full! 🐶 👍
Thank you. We did a lot of research before we got our Westie. They certainly are little dogs with big personalities. He brings us so much joy and pleasure although he can be naughty and defiant lol
It seems your puppy didn't recognize you after you came back from the Gold Coast. He was acting like you are a stranger and intruder. But as soon as he recognize it was you he was happy to greet you. And how it is? I am willing to have a westie in the future, but it would be nice to have a dog that wouldn't suffer if we went on holiday and left him in pet hotel. What do you think? Westies would be okay with that?
Hi @ishakak147 thanks for leaving a comment. It's always a great feeling when he recognises me lol We use @Trustedhousesitters whenever we go away for an extended period of time. A pet loving person comes into our home and looks after little London. It works like Airbnb where you can choose sitters by their reviews. It's fantastic and you never have to worry about London :) Here's a playlist of how to get started :) th-cam.com/play/PLEZ52GIvUKKEc1GkBKqcqSLUnpsJ5eK1E.html
I love 💕😘💕😘💕. WESTIES. Too. I go nuts. When. I. See. One. They are OWSAM. !!!!! 😂😆😁😅😃😄😀😃😄😁😆😘😆😅😅😂😂😂 My. Friend. Own. One. His name is TEDDY. 😁😄😃💕💕💕🌈🤣🌈🤣🤣He is 11 years old now. But. Still. Handsome. 😃😃😃😃😃❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️👍❤️❤️❤️
Same! - I've been house sitting 2 months, both times with Westies and here I am, stuck on looking at them on youtube. It is only a matter of time..... One thing I cannot agree with is the small dog needing just a small home. The second westie I knew had the energy of lightning, she covered hillsides in a zap, and was happier in constant motion. She needed acres, and to be off-leash.
So cute to hear you’ve been drawn into the Westie way of life too hehe And yes, getting to know the breed they do love to zip around. London has slowed down a bit as he’s gotten older but we’d advocate for always giving a dog as much space to have fun as possible - you’re totally right x
and another quick translation: "i'm looking for a female westie. i've already got one and want another so they can be company for each other. i love them, they're brilliant" and now off to work ;o)
@@Travellivelearn it's my profession so it was no great sweat to reel these two posts off. hope london's going from strength. actually i'm sure he is ;o)
All of your house sitting experience means he has parents.who have been broken in and prepared for anything! How lucky is that?! Parenthood suits....xo
nice and very helpful video. one problem with westies is that people don't do enough research and wrongly think they're getting a cutesy lapdog, when the opposite is the case. don't get me wrong, westies (and not all of them since their characters differ hugely) do like sitting on laps but they'd probably rather be off hunting in the bushes or causing mayhem somewhere lol. already had 4 of the little sods (or should that be the other way round?) and they certainly light up your life. just got our fifth, a 4-year-old rescue (we're the 4th owners) who's bedded in fine after a couple of months. from what i can gather the 2nd and 3rd owners had the same misconception about the actual nature of these wee beasties as a lot of other people. the original owner had emigrated to Oz thanks for posting (and if you want to put a stop to them legging it in a park, simply carry a few treats with you. bribery rarely fails ;o)
thought i'd already posted this one: pls be careful about how many carrots you give them. a Vitamin A overdose can/will cause very serious medical problems in humans or pets
Hi @@davidparsons9362 thank you for your advice and sharing your experience about caring for Westies. You certainly have a lot of knowledge. He certainly keeps us on our toes and loves getting up to mischief. Thanks for the tip about carrots. We give him one in the morning and one in the afternoon but they are cut in half. How many would you recommend? Just when we think we have him figured out he throws a curve ball lol.
@@Travellivelearn hi there, i wouldn't dare to say i'm an expert but we've already had 4 overlapping westies, the last two of which died within 3 weeks of each other last november, Mr. Todd, from galloping cancer out of nowhere at the age of 16 and other Anna Maria (all Beatrix Potter names if you were wondering lol) aged 11, plagued by medical problems, she already had Cushings and developed pulmonary fibrosis, aka "westie lung". normally you can expect at least 1 year with this hideous illness but in her case she only lasted ca. 3 months, possibly accelerated due to Mr. Todd's departure. we now have a single rescue westie to fill the gap. as for the westie character, all 5 of ours are/were totally different, from the sensible, reserved Jemima Puddleduck to the happy hooligan that was my first, Samuel Whiskers, so any claim to expertise is probably going to be wildly misplaced, especially as they were all brought up the same way. i always say that a command for a westie is merely a basis for negotiation as you've probably already discovered ;o) as for safe carrot dosage i don't have a clue, you'd have to talk to a vet but a Vit A overdose is no laughing matter. not that i'm trying to alarm you and it takes some doing to overdose but it's better to be safe than sorry. the usual giveaway that something's wrong in humans is that their skin turns orange but that's obviously not going to work with a westie thanks again for the video. London looks like another little cracker and it's always nice to see them grow into their ears lol. may you have very many years of fun together . they can be little sods at times (especially between 8 months and 1 year) but boy are they worth it best david ;o)

I have just been watching your video with our little westie puppy Maisie and she loves London too. Love the phase when their ears are still floppy. London is so handsome. The westitude is real. You are so right. Grab a cuddle when they are still sleepy. Thanks for sharing this lovely time in Londons life.
Amazing!! As I said earlier, 8m about to puck up my 7th Westie and I named her "Maisie Rose!!" I was looking for "precious" in Scots Gaelic and Maisie popped-up as "pearl." Sweet enough for me♡
@@maryklock9274 Maisie is our 7th westie. She has a big brother Barney who is 2 1/2. I’m really making the most of this precious early puppy stage. You enjoy your little Maisie Rose. Our Maisie is just adorable (13 weeks)
@@mindywatkinson6123 Wow! 7th Westie that's amazing 😊😊
Had a Westie for yrs. I miss him so. Best dog ever. Stubborn, protective playfull and loved food. Highly intelligent dogs. Oh I swear every time he got groomed he would have an attitude but the. Couldn’t stop looking at his reflection 😂. I can tell London is so loved. And loves y’all back!
Hi Sydney, he certainly has all those traits you mentioned and then some lol. Sometimes London gets pauses to admire himself as well. Any plans on getting another Westie?
I love that he couldn't stop looking at himself in the mirror!
In reading all remarks, it's clear to me that Westies are "the same" all over the world! I LOVE that! A package of intelligence, playfulness, devotion, and love wherever they are. ♡
Thank you for sharing London with us. He's quite the proper gent and it's clear that he is crazy in love with you! I saw a bumper sticker once that stated it all: "If it's not a Westie, it's just a dog."
Loved your video as did my two Westies Bonnie and Daisy! Enjoy your time with London.
This was so sweet to watch. Our Westie, Gidget, was an incredible dog. She grew up with our young family and was loads of fun. I miss her still to this day. Congrats on getting your London. 🐾
Gidget, what a great name. They’re definitely little characters Westies. Sorry to hear she’a
gone to the rainbow 🌈 bridge
@@Travellivelearn thank you! We liked her name too! She loved the beach and camping.
@@5thdimension954 they bring some much joy ❤❤
I'm smiling from ear to ear -- thank you for sharing London with us! I have Lucy, my 6th Westie! ♡♡
Hello Lucy, London just celebrated his 16 month birthday. He too, makes us smile from ear to ear :)
And... I'm about to bring little
Maisie Rose into our family!! 8 1/2 weeks old!! So excited (I think Lucy is, too but she can't show it now, can she?!)
He sure has a darling little face. I bet he is a handful.
He can be a handful at times haha He loves going to his grandma's for visits :)
Westies are besties, what a lovly dog you got there,had one as best mate when i was a kid.
Thanks for a good laugh, enjoy your "fourlegged fur human"🙂
Thank you 😊 They are lovely dogs with a big personality 😀
London is absolutely adorable! 😍Looking forward to see more videos!
Thank you :) He certainly keeps us on our toes the little man. How's your puppy?
@@Travellivelearn He is good, thank you! Growing up and getting funnier every day 🥰
he is a beautiful westie
must have him
I will be seeing my friends westie for the firstie for a week and i can hardly wait.
How exciting :) Give the puppy a pat from us.
What a handsome little man.
Your London is adorable.
Adorably naughty sometimes but adorable :)
brilliant video. I have a Westie and this is all very true. the best loving dogs
Thank you! A description of a Westies personality is described perfectly in dog books :)
Hallo, Grüße aus Deutschland. Wir hatten bis vor 2 Jahren auch einen Westi. Tiffi. Ihr seid eine ganz tolle Hund Mensch Familie. Alles Gute und viel Spaß Miteinander 🙋
a quick translation:
"Hi, greetings from Germany. up until 2 years ago we also had a westie Tiffi. you're one great dog/human family. all the best and have a load of fun together"
normally i charge for this kind of thing ;o)
I absolutely love watching this, many times, now💖
Thank you! I'm guilty of watching it a few times as well. He is so devilishly cute our London :)
Me. Too. I love. WESTIES. !!¡!!!!!!😄😃😀😄😃😀😆😆😅😅😅😂😂💕💕💕💕💕🎉💕🎉🎊😆😅😅😅❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
They reach a stage where they are no less stubborn but do what you ask of them out their love for you. It will continuously break your heart. Speaking of broken hearts we realized when Casey our first Westie was about 12 We would have A very difficult time when he passed we got a little sister for him. It was a little much for him as he did not have the energy to handle a puppy. He passed at 14 and we immediately got another boy which allowed Arrabella to be kind of a "sister/mommy" to our Finley since as much as we love them they are all spayed or neutered because if we didn't Disney would have to do a sequel with Westies instead of Dalmatians.
It’s so difficult when dogs go to the rainbow 🌈 bridge. We had a dog called Harry and it took us years before we could talk about him without getting emotional. They become such a big part of the family. We keep talking about getting another one but agree we’d prefer a puppy that’s similar age. We feel your pain. I don’t even want to think about London leaving us. He’s in bed now with us as I type this 😊 if we had a big house and yard we’d have an army of them as well 😀
The cutest dog you will ever have they are social they want to be in the middle of everything they are feisty they are hard-headed don't want to listen think they run the house and run the world have loud barking when they're outdoors mines was pretty quiet when he was in Good thing or great thing about him he never chew furniture never chewed shoes but he was just hard-headed stubborn I miss him
He is adorable . And everyone always have your Westies on a harness and Leash, and when you come home you'll get to best greeting from a Westie , and you are right that is a best time to get the kisses from a Westie
He can be adorable London but also naughty and stubborn 😁 First thing in the morning is when London is tolerant of us 😁😁
they are stubborn .so adorable they get away with a lot of things
@@rosalinda479 and that's the problem 😂
@@Travellivelearn 😁
Our Westie is a beauty but so stubborn and curious. Loves to chew mom’s things!
They are so stubborn!
SO MUCH CUTENESS!!!!!!
your westie is just so adorable!
He's our little pride and joy. Do you have a Westie?
@@Travellivelearn Not yet but im actively looking. its been really hard sorting out who is legit and who is trying to scam me. Wish me luck!
Love this. I have a 2 1/2 year old WestiePoo. Very informative and I like the grass bed you have for your precious so he can go as needed without delays.
Thanks so much! They are just fab aren’t they? 🐶🐾
This is a great idea -- how do you maintain it (or not)?
We're in toasty Arizona.
@@maryklock9274 we just buy a strip of grass from Bunnings (warehouse in Australia) and it fits the dimensions of the box. It's great!
Lovely westie!! Mine were all like that! Wondeful breed
He is lovely :) It's taken a us a little while to figure out his personality lol
We just got our first little Westie girl. She is such a sweetheart. They are incredibly smart.
Did you get your westie from a proper breeder
Westies are so challenging. Westietude is a real thing!
OMG 😳 they so are! Our little man is always challenging us. Some days, we feel like he just tolerates us 🤣 but we love him.
Ha ha. My westie’s mantra. Is are you talking to me. Stubborn as hell but my best buddy.
Recall is not in their dna. Favourite thing is to roll in the snow. As we live in Scotland 🏴 we can do that. Enjoy your wee boy. He looks adorable.
Hi Nelly thanks for the comment!! One day we hope to bring our little London to Scotland so he can roll in the snow too. That's so funny you mention the 'recall' thing - we were just talking this morning trying to figure out where we've gone wrong in the training lol Take care, Sarah & Cooper :)
Oh, I don't think it's a "recall" issue, I think it's their stubbornness and choosing what THEY want to hear from us!!9ve them all!
Oh, I was visiting beautiful Scotland before Covid and I was privileged to meet three Westies during my travels. All so similar, they're a joy no matter where they are!
@@maryklock9274 that's great to hear. We feel better knowing we're not alone lol
@@maryklock9274 we are in several Westie groups here in Australia. We love seeing all their pretty faces. Sarah and I always say hello/stalk fellow Westy owners :)
Westies are challenging, but so rewarding! We learned that the hard way after having two Maltese for 18 years. Cute and white is not the same thing!
Haha cute and white is not the same thing 😁 So true!
Such a beautiful little guy 😍
He’s an adorable puppy x
What a little lad
The little man 👨😀
Westies Are Besties.
Loki (2 years old) says hi!
He's an allergic little spud, having lots of skin issues, but he's the sweetest natured little scamp ever, and I love him to bits
After trying numerous shampoos and medication for my Westie, Rowan, aged 8 years, skin problems, at last I have found the answer. Half an Apoquel tablet per day, lots of fish and nothing with animal or beef derivatives.
Thank you so much for this video is was incredibly helpful since my family have found a westie it's going to be born January 24th 2022 and were going to get it in April so this video was very help full! 🐶 👍
Thank you. We did a lot of research before we got our Westie. They certainly are little dogs with big personalities. He brings us so much joy and pleasure although he can be naughty and defiant lol
@@Travellivelearn yes! My friend has a westie that's what made us want to get one.
@@just_gabby9032 we crate trained London at the beginning and it was the best thing we did. Have fun with your Westie 😀
@@Travellivelearn thankyou!
@@Travellivelearn Would A crate be better than a open bed for the westie?
London is one handsome fello. Buckle in for the teenage months 😄
OMG we are struggling with his puppy years lol Let the rollercoaster ride continue :)
My son was as cute as London and I miss him dearly.
Sorry to hear of your loss. They are such a big part of the family. London is certainly a handful :)
I got my Westie Frosty when I was 4 he is now 10 years old and I love him so much 💗💗
I love 💕😘💕😘. WESTIES. Also. They. Are. AWESOME 👍👍. 😀😃😄😁😁😁😃😆😅😅😅😂😂😂😂😆😆😁😄😃😅😁😁😆😂😂💕💕💕💕💕💕💕❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
It seems your puppy didn't recognize you after you came back from the Gold Coast. He was acting like you are a stranger and intruder. But as soon as he recognize it was you he was happy to greet you.
And how it is? I am willing to have a westie in the future, but it would be nice to have a dog that wouldn't suffer if we went on holiday and left him in pet hotel. What do you think? Westies would be okay with that?
Hi @ishakak147 thanks for leaving a comment. It's always a great feeling when he recognises me lol
We use @Trustedhousesitters whenever we go away for an extended period of time. A pet loving person comes into our home and looks after little London. It works like Airbnb where you can choose sitters by their reviews. It's fantastic and you never have to worry about London :)
Here's a playlist of how to get started :)

Congratulations on your new Westie!!! 😊👍37
Thank you 🙏 he keeps us in our toes 😀
Tip: when we put her in shopping carts we have a small mat that makes it easier on her feet.
We have one of those now, although the little man just walks with us on his lead. They grow up so quickly hey :)
Great video, im thinking of getting 1
We have our 3rd Westie now, her name is Heather. Congratulations.....you have chosen t
London is becoming famous x
And we'll be there to ride his coat tails :)
Lovely dogs they are
He can be lovely the little man and then he can turn into a devil lol
Sooooooo cute! I certainly love getting into mischief too hehe
They're very good at finding mischief 🤣
I love 💕😘💕😘💕. WESTIES. Too. I go nuts. When. I. See. One. They are OWSAM. !!!!! 😂😆😁😅😃😄😀😃😄😁😆😘😆😅😅😂😂😂 My. Friend. Own. One. His name is TEDDY. 😁😄😃💕💕💕🌈🤣🌈🤣🤣He is 11 years old now. But. Still. Handsome. 😃😃😃😃😃❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️👍❤️❤️❤️
Same! - I've been house sitting 2 months, both times with Westies and here I am, stuck on looking at them on youtube. It is only a matter of time..... One thing I cannot agree with is the small dog needing just a small home. The second westie I knew had the energy of lightning, she covered hillsides in a zap, and was happier in constant motion. She needed acres, and to be off-leash.
So cute to hear you’ve been drawn into the Westie way of life too hehe And yes, getting to know the breed they do love to zip around. London has slowed down a bit as he’s gotten older but we’d advocate for always giving a dog as much space to have fun as possible - you’re totally right x
Precious pup 💜💜💜
He's precious and a little naughty lol
So Cutie My westie is fifi She is 1 Years old
Ur baby is gorgeous...they are an amazing breed. Definitely have a mind of their own 🤣
Thank you Thamari, he certainly is a gorgeous little boy but he definitely has a mind of his own. Sounds like you speak from experience :)

Hello, we are looking for Westie breeders .. can you please pass on the details of your breeder? :)
My nearly 12 year old westie Buddy certainly has westietude.
🐶🧡🐾💙🐶❤️
Sweet ❤️❤️❤️
He can be sweet :) Do you have a Westie?
Love it
I LOVE that you took London to Bunnings. Did he get a weekend sanga from there too?
It’s a right of passage taking your dog to Bunnings 😀 sadly we were too early for a sanga 😂
yo ando en busca de un westy hembra, ya tengo una y quiero otra para que se hagan compañía, los amo son magníficos
and another quick translation:
"i'm looking for a female westie. i've already got one and want another so they can be company for each other. i love them, they're brilliant"
and now off to work ;o)
Sin duda son perros magníficos. Tiene mucho carácter nuestro Westy y habla todo el tiempo.
@@davidparsons9362 thank you! You're our own Google translate :)
@@Travellivelearn it's my profession so it was no great sweat to reel these two posts off. hope london's going from strength. actually i'm sure he is ;o)
I just lost my 15 1/2 year old Westie. Oh; my how he loved cold carrots. I will miss him the rest of my life 😰😰😰
We are SO incredibly sorry to hear that. Sending hugs to you - we too have lost other dogs who we will miss forever. Will meet them again one day :)
@@Travellivelearn Thank you. So kind of you to reply ♥
All of your house sitting experience means he has parents.who have been broken in and prepared for anything! How lucky is that?! Parenthood suits....xo
Thank you Linda, we certainly know that we are working for him. He’s a bossy little man 🥰
nice and very helpful video. one problem with westies is that people don't do enough research and wrongly think they're getting a cutesy lapdog, when the opposite is the case. don't get me wrong, westies (and not all of them since their characters differ hugely) do like sitting on laps but they'd probably rather be off hunting in the bushes or causing mayhem somewhere lol. already had 4 of the little sods (or should that be the other way round?) and they certainly light up your life. just got our fifth, a 4-year-old rescue (we're the 4th owners) who's bedded in fine after a couple of months. from what i can gather the 2nd and 3rd owners had the same misconception about the actual nature of these wee beasties as a lot of other people. the original owner had emigrated to Oz
thanks for posting (and if you want to put a stop to them legging it in a park, simply carry a few treats with you. bribery rarely fails ;o)
thought i'd already posted this one: pls be careful about how many carrots you give them. a Vitamin A overdose can/will cause very serious medical problems in humans or pets
Hi @@davidparsons9362 thank you for your advice and sharing your experience about caring for Westies. You certainly have a lot of knowledge. He certainly keeps us on our toes and loves getting up to mischief.
Thanks for the tip about carrots. We give him one in the morning and one in the afternoon but they are cut in half. How many would you recommend?
Just when we think we have him figured out he throws a curve ball lol.
@@Travellivelearn hi there, i wouldn't dare to say i'm an expert but we've already had 4 overlapping westies, the last two of which died within 3 weeks of each other last november, Mr. Todd, from galloping cancer out of nowhere at the age of 16 and other Anna Maria (all Beatrix Potter names if you were wondering lol) aged 11, plagued by medical problems, she already had Cushings and developed pulmonary fibrosis, aka "westie lung". normally you can expect at least 1 year with this hideous illness but in her case she only lasted ca. 3 months, possibly accelerated due to Mr. Todd's departure. we now have a single rescue westie to fill the gap. as for the westie character, all 5 of ours are/were totally different, from the sensible, reserved Jemima Puddleduck to the happy hooligan that was my first, Samuel Whiskers, so any claim to expertise is probably going to be wildly misplaced, especially as they were all brought up the same way. i always say that a command for a westie is merely a basis for negotiation as you've probably already discovered ;o)
as for safe carrot dosage i don't have a clue, you'd have to talk to a vet but a Vit A overdose is no laughing matter. not that i'm trying to alarm you and it takes some doing to overdose but it's better to be safe than sorry. the usual giveaway that something's wrong in humans is that their skin turns orange but that's obviously not going to work with a westie
thanks again for the video. London looks like another little cracker and it's always nice to see them grow into their ears lol. may you have very many years of fun together . they can be little sods at times (especially between 8 months and 1 year) but boy are they worth it
best
david ;o)
Sweethearts xx
They certainly are in their own devilish way :)
need to know is hearing impaired later in age?
I don’t think they are, but like any old dogs blindness or deafness can eventually happen 😢
My dad has Stanley,, ,x
