Here are our stories....
Duffy
My
formal name is LoMar's Wee Winsome McDuff, CGC, better known as Duffy or
the McDuff. As you can see, I loved to play in the woods and get
into briars, so sometimes I had a funny haircut.
I
came to live with Mom and Dad as a little fellow.
Upon my arrival, at 6 pounds, I immediately established my dominance
over Max, a Giant Schnauzer who weighed a lot more. Max was so
gentle with me and never let me know he was bigger than I was.
It's amazing what little puppy teeth can do....
During my life, I earned my Canine Good Citizenship and worked hard at Obedience, but my Westie temperament won out and Mom let me be me. Over the years, I loved travelling to almost all of the lower 48 states, but home was always best.
During
my later years, I slowed down considerably but loved to go anywhere and
here I am on the night I entered the MSU Veterinary Clinic for the final
time. We visited friends and I had a great time with their two Westies, who are in the next picture. But later that night, my
little heart and lungs gave out. I went to the
Rainbow Bridge four days later, on November 4, 2007, in
Mom's arms looking for a Cheeto.
Piper
My
formal name is Grand Champion GlenLea's Wee Winsome Piper, better known just as Piper.
If you ever come to the door of Mom and Dad's house or the motorhome,
you will hear how I live up to my name. I also "pipe" very loudly
whenever a squirrel or chipmunk invades my territory. Mom is
working on breaking me of my piping, but has not been very successful so
far. I also have a formal side so Mom created my own page.
Mom
and Dad found my breeder the same week they lost Duffy and I came home
with them the very next day.
Sophie was so happy to have me and quickly became
like the Mommy I left behind. I spent a lot of time with a very
wet coat as she "mothered" me almost non-stop.
