Westies Gone Wild

4th of July, 2009

2009-07-05T14:06:00.007-04:00

The 4th of July was a fun, relaxing day for us. Dad grilled up some hamburgers (he's been grilling every night this week-end!) and Mom's making potato salad. They got us some new squeaky balls that we've been chewing on, and we are tired out from chasing the basketball around the backyard!

I know it took me a while, (I couldn't blog until the nursing stage was over) but here's some photos of my puppies.

I'm pregnant!

Mom tried to keep Fury and I separated, something about wanting me to be older, but well, nature took its course. So now I'm waddling around, not really acting like I'm pregnant but boy am I big! My due date is around Jan21st... that's next week!
I'll let Momma take a photo of me to add later if she can get my good side, lol.

Momma: "OK, which one of you has been digging up the backyard?"

Dress Up

For some reason Momma likes to dress us up, I don't know why, but if it makes her happy then we will usually put up with it for a few minutes before trying to rip the clothes off of each other. Here's me modeling a cute pink dress, and Fury sporting his race day attire.

I don't know why Baron doesn't pig out at dinner time like we do. He likes to eat slowly and wants to save some for later but either Fury or I usually eats it all up when he's not looking. So now he falls asleep guarding his bowl.

Lazy rainy weekend

2008-06-22T17:16:00.009-04:00

Not much to report about this week. It's been raining, so Mom never let us play in the pool, which I really don't understand because wet is wet, right?
Mom and Dad spent Saturday cleaning around the house, doing laundry, etc. Today Mom has been sitting in front of the computer and Dad has been in front of the TV. Me? I've just been chilling out with Fury all week-end. We caught some good bugs, maybe all the rain made them come out of the ground, I don't know, but we really didn't have to dig very deep. We kept bringing them inside to Mom but she didn't seem pleased. I really thought the matching set of Palmetto bugs that we both caught at the same time was sorta special and she yelled with delite when she stepped on one, barefoot, while it was upside down and kicking around. But then she grabbed a shoe and started pounding it. Fury grabbed the other and got it outside fast and we tossed it around for hours.

Mom says Fury looks like a luck-dragon. What's that?

I will admit, he's kinda cute, even though Mom messed up cutting the hair between his eyes because he wouldn't be still.

Here's a photo Mom took while we we're sleeping. Fury is hanging out in "the cave", which we love to play in. Mom seems to take a lot of photos while we sleep, something about the photos not being blurry. I'm fine with it. If I can sleep threw that bird squalking all day, I can sleep threw a camera flash.

So that basically sums up the week-end, with all of us staying inside. I just heard Dad say something to Mom about ordering a pizza... yum yum yum!

Doggy Door

2008-06-07T16:05:00.013-04:00

Today Dad ran up to Lowes and came back with something called a doggy door. Although I am thrilled with anything they say they have bought for us, I honestly don't see why we need to have our own door. We really don't mind walking in and out of the same door that they do! But Dad was complaining about the electric bill (whatever that is), and Mom was complaining about the flies so I guess they want to keep the door shut for some reason. Geesh!

Then Dad starting making all kinds of noise! He cranked up something called a "saw" and Fury took off into the den to hide behind Baron.I will admit I was frightened too at first, but after a while the curiousity got the best of me so I found a nearby chair to observe from under.

Dad started to CUT A HOLE into the wall! If I had chewed a hole like that I would have been yelled at!

Fury got curious too but he stayed scared under a chair.

After a while the noise ended and Dad cleaned up all the mess he made. Mom made them sandwiches and then started to put little tid-bits inside the door. It was scary at first to have those flappy things hitting my head, but I wanted those treats! So I told myself that I just had to get over those fears and plunge forward. And I did it!

Later Fury needed to got outside to potty so he went to the back door, but it was shut. Mom tried to get him to go threw the doggy door but nope, he just wasn't ready yet. Mom waited, but Fury really needed to go potty. So Mom let him out the old way. After a while he was ready to come back in but Mom didn't open the door. He keep looking in and scratching at the door and he looked pretty doggone hot. Mom would stick her hand out the doggy door to get his attention and after quite a few attempts Fury FINALLY came all the way threw!

I was so happy for him that I jumped him the moment he came in and then we jumped all over each other and Mom said something about too much movement and blurred pictures... I don't know what she was rambling on about. and then we played and played and played.

Over all, it was a real exciting day!

Summer fun in the pool

2008-06-01T15:09:00.000-04:00

Last week-end Scott brought home a plastic pool for us to play in! At first I didn't know what to think of it so I walked around sniffing the outside and barking at the water hose. But then Fury, in fearless fashion, saw Patti climb in and before you know it... splash! He jumped in too! So I snuck in, slow at first, but then realized that it felt nice and cool on such a hot day so I started splashing all around too. Later, Patti and Scott dumped the water out, I think Patti was complaining about us jumping in when we were suppose to be out pottying and then coming back into the house all wet, and all week long I have been climbing back into the dry pool and barking at Patti to bring on the water, which never happened.

So today,when both Patti and Scott are home all day, we all went outside and played in the pool again. We had the best time leaping in and out and splashing all around! We both love dunking the plastic balls and Patti somehow makes the water in the pool spin in a circle (I think the hose has something to do with it) and all the toys spin around too which it's really fun trying to catch them. Here's some photos our fun day.

This picture is one that Patti took while we were waiting for the pool to fill up:

Fury dunking for a ball:

He got it!

I'm thinking about getting back in:

Oh yea, this is the life!

Fury is shaking off:

Even Babe gets in for a minute! Mom (Patti) called it "A bath".

Babe's sunning herself.

These next shots are of us jumping and splashing:

Mom got a shot of me in mid-air as I was jumping out to chase Fury!

Mom said we had to get out because the water got too dirty during our bath time. But then she refilled it for what she called, "the final rinse cycle" whatever that means. Here's some shots of me drying off:

And here's few shot of Fury chilling out under a chair:

You would think that all this splashing around would chase off the squirrels, but no!

As you can see we all had a blast. Maybe Mom will eventually add the photos of me and her in the pool and of Scott (Dad) laying out in a chair, even though they both complained about "looking fat" in the photos.

Welcome message from Fiona

2008-05-31T22:09:00.000-04:00

Hello everyone! I'm Fiona and my partner here is Fury. I was born in November so I'm currently 6 months old. Fury was born in January, making him 4 months old. We live in Leland, NC, southwest of Wilmington.
This is our blog. Our furure posts will be about our lives with our humans, Patti and Scott. They got us from Patti's sister, Jody, who owns a pet shop called Jody's Pets in Morehead City, NC. Jody special ordered us from 2 different breeders, (both nice people that she thoroughly checked out... no puppymill puppies for her shop) and she ordered us just for Patti. Patti did a lot of research before chosing westies, and she knew in advance that we could be a handful! But she thought we would be worth it and I think she's pretty happy with her choices since she spoils us rotten!
I hope you come back often to see how were doing and to see what it's like being a westie. Fury and I will be posting things like photo's of us, along with educational Westie links that we find on the internet.
We hope you enjoy Westies Gone Wild!
