The westie - cute, lovable and totally adorable!

I have been petrified of dogs ever since I was attacked by an alsation when I was a toddler but now I'm grown up I decided it was time to face my fears. I thought what better way than to get a puppy and live with it while growing up, at first I was scared but when I look into my westies eyes I just melt and laugh and wonder what I was ever frightened of.

Westies are very lively dogs, mine is hyperactive like he's on speed which can be rather amusing as he uses my living room like a race track, although I have to say this does have me in fits of giggles. One thing I will say is dont treat them with cheese - they go mad!

I've found that westies can be somewhat reliant on you and dont like too much of their own company so I wouldn't suggest leaving them on their own too long otherwise they get up to mischieve and cause havock, my little one sometimes cries or scraps at the door to try and get to me which is heart-breaking even if you are only leaving them a few minutes.

They love exercise but they can live on very little if this doesn't fit in with your lifestyle. They love food especially the meaty things like ceasars rather than kibble or biscuits however this isn't good for their teeth so try to limit this if possible unless you know of a good dog dentist?!

Westies have an adorable character and all have their own little personality however they can bark alot, mine is quite sensitive to noise so anything he hears that he is not used to he will bark at until he knows its safe, makes him a very good guard dog but can be annoying for you and the neighbours.

All in all I find that my westie a huge asset to my family and I now couldn't be without him or his cuddles!

Summary: Friend for life! Will be there when you are down and will always make you laugh with their antics
