New Friend

wlyon · 10-13-2011, 10:04 PM

A couple months ago I had a thread, "Lost Friend," about our Westie, Belle. We now have this little Westie girl, Abby. Eight weeks old and full of energy and sharp baby teeth. Our family room looks like an armored car. Had forgotten the unlimited energy and chewing ability of a puppy. Still fun - I think.

Oh, I love a puppy, and can't imagine not having a dog.

Good for you too!

Westies are my second favorite puppy in the world, I have some friends that have had six of them over the years. They are so cute, grats and enjoy you new best friend.

Hi Bill,
Hopefully this little cutie will fill a little bit of the hole in your heart left behind by the last one.

She will grow up to fill your heart, Bill.

Bill,

Eloise (chew monster extraordinaire) and I send our congratulations! How did you get her to hold still for the photo?

Bill, CONGRATS on your new puppy!!

I made the mistake of using leather gloves to play with my Huskie puppy. It was a great help to protect my hands from his puppy teeth. But, when he was older, it meant he could really chew down on my hands as soon as the leather gloves were on. Big dogs can really bite hard!!!

Dogs are cool!

I have three 'rescues' here at home...

Going outside always arouses interest...

Bill..Happy to hear about your new pup! The older we get the more we forget what a new puppy has in energy per square inch!
Hope you and Mary enjoy him!
