Welcome to the daily diary of Lily & Rose, the West Highland White Terriers. The Blog begins from them being 4 weeks old!
Young At Heart
LILY & ROSE
Here are some photos of Lily & Rose. There are a few from the first time we saw them when they were just 4 weeks old. They would fit on your hand at this age and didn't look much like westies!
“Butts and buns: the Westies as humans debate (pt 1V) – coarse and vulgar or current and cutting edge?”
Just wait till you start comparing who’s got the cutest butt? As you do! We do! Also the time is close approaching when the sometimes taboo subject of the bitch anatomy and its various euphemisms needs to be addressed. What are you going to call “it”? How are you going to trim “it”? And can you tolerate “it’s” discolouration?
Our preference is for “mitzi” (as in Gaynor – no connection, I think) although I hear the Pilipino’s refer to it as the “flower” which is rather nice but not very apt when attempting to describe the mahogany tarnished hairs that grow ever longer when soaked into a fine wet paintbrush-like state each time they squat. Sometimes it’s just the tiniest single drop of wee poised on the end of the finest sable “rigger” that they use to mark their territory, as if they were putting the subtle finishing touches to some delicate Islamic art. I must say at this point that much like their human counterparts they are very careful about where and how they squat whereas “dogs” seem happy to squirt anywhere. I’m sure if Westie bitches used loos they would properly replace the seat and lid each time (ahem).
(Okay really must stop now to wipe away una furtive lagrima as the timpani have rolled, the orchestra has sounded its closing chord and the red velvet curtains of La Scala Milan have drawn on the final act of La Traviata – Violetta has died again and it just doesn’t get any easier for me to watch…wait no it’s okay she’s just taken a curtain call
I'm Sue and I'm now retired (early)! I used to be a headteacher in Northumberland but now I'm getting used to a new way of life. One that is less stressful and pressured hopefully!
I live with my husband, Charles, in Newcastle upon Tyne, with our two Westies, Lily and Rose.
We have just become grandparents!!
