We are pleased to show off this beautiful Westie dog poster which is now available to buy online either for yourself or a friend.
The thing we like about this particular poster is that when you click on it, you can then decide what size you would like it, what particular medium you want it on, for example paper, card, or a canvass print. Then finally you are able to choose whether you would like it framed.
We truly believe that this cute Westie picture is one you will love hanging up on your wall.

I felt the need to write a short article about our West Highland Terrier dog and what she has started to do with her dog food.
We always give our Westie dried Iams dog food with plenty of water nearby.
A couple of days ago I placed a cooked chicken in the fridge, and left it until lunchtime. Mitzi sat by the fridge, her nose touching the door for what seemed like hours!
Lunchtime arrived and by now Mitzi was begging, rolling over, doing all sorts of tricks, basically anything to get a little taste of this chicken. Giving in to her, I took one small slice of meat (cut into small pieces) and placed it amongst her dried food. Well I’ve never seen her go mad like this before! Her head was in her bowl immediately, hunting out these tiny bits of food. If you had never seen her before, you’d of thought she had not eaten for weeks the way she was going for it!
Luckily I had my camera nearby and managed to snap a couple of photographs of our Westie dog to show you the mess she made.
The only problem now is that whenever I place her bowl of Iams down she does the same thing, flirting dog biscuits just about everywhere whilst trying to find the invisible chicken she thinks is now always going to be in her dog bowl – bless her little Westie Socks.

As you can see in the photo above of Mitzi the Westie, she is out on one of her many walks during the day.
Westies are inquisitive little dogs and should you venture out anywhere without them, you will sure know about it. In Mitzi’s case if we go to put our shoes or coats on she either yelps like a baby (just so that we know she is there) or she will nibble at your shoes until you look at her!
Many people often wonder how much exercise they should give a dog and it is a difficult question to answer. Depending on the breed of dog they may need more or less exercise. In Mitzi’s case she usually has one good walk in the morning (anywhere between 30-1hr), in the afternoon (40mins or so) and just after tea (around 1hr). Basically it all depends on every individuals life style for example some dog owners may work shifts or start later in the day etc. The main thing to remember is that your dog does get regular walks throughout the day, even if they are short walks, the main thing is that they are going out of the house and experiencing different smells, socialising with people and their dogs.
As mentioned in a previous post we recently took Mitzi to Wales with us in a rented cottage and she absolutely loved it. Due to the amount of hills and beach walks we did, as soon as we returned to the accommodation she always had her well deserved snack and drink waiting then she would just curl up in a ball and sleep and sleep and sleep some more!
If you are worried that you might not be giving your dog enough walks, why don’t you ask a neighbour to walk your pet if you are away long hours at a time? I’m sure they would jump at the chance. You dog will love you for it.
