19th July 2010 - Just a quick note

Hi Everyone, Hope you're all well.

I really do miss chatting with you all. Problem is, Mummy has been doing her A-Levels and now she's working full time in the week as a legal secretary(plus weekends in her old retail job) until she hopefully goes to university next year. She's a busy bee, so this has taken a back seat.

We were just dropping by to make sure we had copies of all my account photos as my Dogster Plus is about to expire and we've decided not to renew it at this time as we're rarely on here. I've got a stash of zealies saved up for Christmas time so I can remind my old friends of our shared memories. There are memories from Dogster that will never be forgotten - especially from WU. We do hope that we can make some more in the future.

Take care everypup.

Woofs and Wags to all,
Caffers and Mum xxxx

UK Woofers Meet and Greet. 14th June 2009

I got to meet fellow Dogsters Bertie , Eddie, Harvey, Teddy, Sadie, Rocky, Angel, and Tyler yesterday at the UK Woofers Meet and Greet!!!

It was a Great success, a really pawsome day!! All us dogs were really well behaved and had lots of fun together. The sun shone all day, and paired with a cool breeze it was pawfect weather for us.

We all met at Brampton Woods around 11am for a walk together through the woods before heading over to Grafham Water for a picnic and some games. Mummy and Ben had organised Musical Dogs, which Sadie and Eddie were the winners of, and a Potato and Spoon race which Sadie and Bertie won.

I hung out and chilled with Bertie and Eddie a lot at Grafham. The pawrents kept noticing lots of similarities in the characters of Eddie and I. We’re thinking we may be related. It could be possible, us Westies did get bred from the Cairn =)

Just before it was time to go we had our gift exchange. Mummy and Nanny felt really guilty since they’d left Sadie’s presents at home on the kitchen table (Sorry Sadie). Angel and Rocky had got me this really lovely plush Cow toy. I made sure they could see how much I loved it, and played with it for a good 10 minutes. Bertie kept looking over at me longingly, wanting to steal my cow.

Here's my photos from the day: http://www.flickr.com/photos/10772751@N03/sets/72157619686965407/

I’m sure we’ll have another Meet, and I cannot wait!

7th April 09. I was a brave boy today.

There's been a bit of drama here today...

It happened when I was off lead in a field near my house during a walk with Mummy and Ben. I was happily exploring and sniffing around as I do, when I got caught in some brambles. It hurt a whole lot, and I couldn't help but to yelp really loudly. Both alarmed, Mummy and I ran towards each other. That's when she saw all the blood!! There was specks of red all over me, but most of it on my ear. Mummy and Ben quickly carried me home to clear me up and see how badly I had been hurt.

My ear had been sliced open by the nasty brambles =( It's amazing how much blood can come out of an ear!!

It shook me up abit but I'm alright.

Mummy says I was a brave boy =)

28th October 2008.....NOT HAPPY!

I am not a happy westie!!

There's a tiny 6 day old kitten at MY house today, stealing ALL MY attention.

Humph!!!

It makes very strange little noises.

Mummy says it's a kitten but I think it's actually a rat. Aren't rats for hunting??

The reason it's at my house is that Mitzi has rejected it. Stupid cat!!

Mitzi gave birth to three Kittens (http://www.catster.com/cats/910092)...I'm so thankful only one is at my house!!

Which reminds me, not only do I have to share my house with this little one. I have to share my barkday too!! They were born on the morning of the 22nd October 2008 -- MY BARKDAY. Barkdays are not something for sharing.

It's here all day tomorrow too, along with Friday and Saturday.

=(

BIG SIGH

Humph!!!

Oh, on the plus side we have snow here in England tonight!! Hopefully in the morning I'll get to zoom in the snow.

Hey Puppers

I've been on holiday for the past two weeks. Spent half my time in Scarborough, and the other in Cornwall. It was tons of fun! The best part? Getting to go on the beach almost daily! Boy, do I love to feel sand beneath my paws.

I wish to spread a big thankyou to the hundreds of you that sent me and my family members febreeze gifts. I'm making time to read them all since each message makes me smile! Oh, and if any of your pawrents have sent my Mum pawsonal emails, it may take us a while to dig them up so sorry for any delay in answering.

I'm off to unpack my case

Laters!

Mummy's home!!

For the past week I'd been considering my options on what to do when Mummy returned from her 3 week roadtrip in the USA with Atticus Finch and his Mom. Would I....
1) Ignore her. Making her feel guilty for leaving me to meet all MY pals
-or-
2) Give her lots of love.
I went with option 2. Afterall, what if she thought I hadn't missed her? Or, not give me all the wonderful presents she had got for me? I couldn't risk that so lotsa loving came her way!!

Mummy's been making me SO jealous telling me about her trip. She travelled 13 states and over 4000 miles with my bestest buddy Attie and his Mom and met many of our Dogster pals on the way. She even attended the NY Westies Unite meet and greet without me! It's not fair.

Here's a list of my friends that she met: Attie, Shadow, Morgan, Maggie, Shiloh, Maggie Mae, Zoe Belle, Benny, Riley, Finn, Dory, Mia, Taffany, Emily, Maple, Sofia, Wexford,Lily, Kato, Sambuca, Isabella Martini, Emma, Pogue, Hunter, Chloe, Patrick, Trotskii, Blanket, Missy P, Casey, Callie, Moshe, Levi, and the lovely Mom's of Meagan and Pocky. It's rather a long list, isn't it? If only I could have been there, too. Sigh.

On the plus side, several of the pups sent Mummy back with presents for me! Yay! And, of course Mummy brought me presents too!
Photo: My Dungarees from Mia and Taffany; Photo: Goodies from america; Photo: My 'Will wear funny shirts for treats' T-Shirt". Sending westie kisses to all of those who sent me pressies! MWAH!!

Whilst Mummy was away, to stop me moping around the house for three weeks, Nanny and Grandaddy took me on some short holidays. The Lakes District, Scotland, and the seaside at SouthWold are some of the places we went. I had a fabulous time and recived tons of attention. Some tourists even took photos of me! Yup, I'm a celebrity now =)

This entry has been rather upbeat hasn't it? Unfortunately, I do have some very, very, sad news to report. My Uncle, Buster, passed on on the evening of the 28th June. His parents are still feeling extremely low after Buster's passing and Danny has been lifeless. He keeps howling and begging beside Buster's collar and ashes. He's become a completely different dog right now. Please send some positive thoughts to Wales and the home of Buster and hope they will sometime soon begin to adjust.

17th June 2008

In just 10 days Mummy is off to the USA for a 3 week roadtrip with our Westies Unite Dogster buddies!! I'm so jealous, she's going to get to play with many of my bestest friends whilst I am stuck at home, all alone. Sigh.

I've not been online much lately, Mummy has been revising for her exams (only two left - Woo!) and she's also been spending lots of time with her beau, Ben. We love him!! Oh, and his dog Milly too! She is my new best friend - I adore her. She's a Boxer/Staffy and is such a sweet, soppy character!

Well, I'm off to catch some evening sun rays

2nd May 2008 - Bonjour

Bonjour mes amis =)
(That's hello my friends for those of you of lesser intelligence than I)

Mummy's been studying an awful lot lately. I think it's something to do with the millions of upcoming exams she will be taking in the next 7 weeks. Due to this, I have been spending vast amounts of time pawing Mummy reminding her to take a break...every 5 minutes. More often than not, I end up studying with her. However, this is not necessarily a bad thing. I'm positive that my Jadey Lady will be dazzled with my new higher level of intellect =)

Today Mummy had the day off school. However, some of her friends were there catching up on Art so Mummy decided we would go for a walk to school and surprise her friends. Wearing my new Polka Dot harness and matching lead, we went on our way. It was sunny outside. As my Great Nanny would say, the sun definitely had his hat on. 20 minutes was all it took to get there and then I went inside the school building and into the art class. There was some extremely interesting smells inside that room, and some fascinating objects. Mummy's friends (who I adore) played with me. They know how I like it; Rough. The teachers we encountered also gave me lots of fuss. It was a good day!

Got my paws together in prayer for missing Timbi....

Hi Everypup.

My cousin Scamp's Mum's Sister's beautiful Husky named Timbi is missing in Perthshire, Scotland.

She went missing on the on the 15th March from Castle Menzies, Aberfeldy,Perthshire. She's tagged, deaf, and was wearing a black waterproof coat.

http://www.doglost.co.uk/forum.asp?ID=12964

Despite being 15 years of age, she is a very striking dog...wolf grey with white/blue eyes.

They suspect Timbi was picked up in a car and has been taken from the area and think that whoever has her, or whoever they pass her onto, will quickly realise she is very old, and has some problems. This leaves everyone with the concern that she ends up being dumped.

Everyone is working extremely hard to find her. As well as countless searches they have appealed on 2 local radio stations, contacted vets, pet shops, visited every local house within a radius of where they live, been into hotels, bars, shops etc.

Please could we have your prayers and ask you are on the lookout for Timbi if in the UK. It's 6 days on....She could be anywhere by now.

Poor Timbi. Pawlease find your way home soon sweet girl!

11th March 2008 - Hello Furbuddies!

Hello Furbuddies

Gosh, this diary entry is long overdue. 8th January was my last entry...that's 63 days ago!!

=o

No, I haven't disappeared off the face of the earth and I definately haven't stopped loving Dogster. My Mummy has just been too busy to allow me online as often as I would like.

In the past few months, I've become more of a 'lurker' than a poster in the forums and several of my groups. Yup, I've been keeping tabs on what all my pals are up to ...don't you worry about that! Sadly, I've also had to pray for several of my furbuddies who are going through some rough times. I wish I had some magic dust that I could sprinkle over those who are poorly and make them instantly feel better!

So, to the reasons I have not been barking here much. Well, school is putting a lot of pressure onto Mummy right now since she's got a vast number of exams coming up in the next few months. It's quite stressful as she's aiming for top grades. She's also doing a lot of studying for her weekend job at Pets At Home since she has to have good knowledge of all the pets to do her job successfully.

As well as all that, poor little me has been unwell...I had an allergic reaction and was on anti-biotics. No-one is really sure what it was a reaction to but I've been left with lots of little scabs on my back and was feeling really poorly for about a week. Of course, the whole family were concerned about me. I'm back to my former self now though except from the scabs but they're clearing up!

Gotta go....
