My family had a darling little Westie girl named Molly "Mae Westie." She was a bit of a handful when she was still a puppy, but she was the love of my life. There is really a reason you hear the term "Westie Love." We lost Molly Mae in 2003. Her picture is on the wall in front of my computer. I still talk to her. Cherish every moment you have with him. They are wonderful loving, devoted dogs. How I miss her. Be patent with him, reward him for good behavior, and you will have a dog you will never forget. Good luck!

Some advice - BaxtersMom

I have a Westie who is now 4 years old that I got when he was 10 weeks old. In order to train them it just takes patience and rewards. They love to please and can be taught many things. I trained Baxter to ring a service bell when he needs to go outside, shake, sit, stay, give high 5's, dance in circles, and to close any open door or drawer. At first it may seem hard because they are so hyper and excited, but they catch on quickly. I wish you much love and happiness with your precious pup!

Ten bodies were wrapped up in white and blue bed sheets, and several people were wounded, one of them badly, the television said.
