Westie Walker cap survey
The Westie Walker cap survey will run until midnight Saturday 2 April 2011 to determine how many Westie Walkers want caps. The order will only go ahead if the manufacturer's required minimum number of caps is met. The final price per cap will be quoted by the manufacturer when the number of caps to be ordered is known. Westie Walkers who want caps will need to pre-pay to cover the cost of production.
If there is enough interest, the caps can hopefully be ordered and manufactured before the next walk!

Sasha needs a friend
Another of our Westie Walker community is wanting to adopt a second Westie into their pack. Please contact Jess at the number below if you know of a male Westie that needs a new home.
"We are looking to extend our family by inviting a 2nd Westie to join our clan. Our current Westie, Sasha, is 16 weeks old and is in serious need of an older (preferably house trained) brother. We are looking for a male (desexed) Westie aged anywhere between 8months to 3 years old. Sasha loves other Westies and we can't wait until she has a little soul mate to keep her company. If you know of anyone (or if you, yourself) that has a Westie to sell (or give away) to an excellent home, please let me know as soon as possible. My husband and i look forward to hearing from anyone who can assist us. Please call Jess on 0438383950. Thank you!!"

Fergus has Talent
One of our Westie Walkers' regulars, Fergus, recently took part in Dr Harry's "Pets' Got Talent" with his sidekick Vincent. He was great! And on our scale he was the best dog on the day. Maybe he'll show us some of his tricks at the next walk. You can see his act for yourself on the BH&G website |  |
Ruby Needs a Home
UPDATE: 11 August 2010
We've received some fantastic news! Mahlah and her pack have been able to find Ruby a new home; although it's a fair way away, it sounds like Ruby will have an idyllic existence. She'll be moving to Hervey Bay with a retired couple who live on the beach and walk twice a day, and who have been wanting a Westie for some time. They don't have any other pets and Ruby will be Top Dog!
We love a happy ending!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Wee Ruby is an absolutely gorgeous Westie who needs a loving home where she can be Top Dog!
We have received the following information from Mahlah, her current Pack Leader, who has had to make this difficult decision.
"We have a 3.5 years old pure breed West Highland Terrier, Ruby. We originally purchased Ruby hoping she would be a companion for our 5 years old Westie, Frank. However when Ruby reached maturity we found they both started fighting. They simply don’t get on and over the past few years we have managed the problem by keeping them apart. This has worked up until now but recently we have welcomed a new baby in the family (2 weeks old) and management of the two dogs has become an impossibility. We are seeking a new home for Ruby who would thrive in a single pet household. Ruby is a very loved Westie and beautiful loving pet and we really want to find the best home possible for her, unfortunately due to irreconcilable sibling rivalry we have to give her up."
So if know someone who needs a Westie to brighten up their likely otherwise ordinary lives, or if you and your Westie might have the necessary generosity of spirit to give gorgeous Ruby the extra special attention she needs. Mahlah can be contacted by email malkens[at]optusnet[dot]com[dot]au
