Here are our stories
Sophie
My
name is Sophie and my story is much different from Duffy's. I was
born in a puppy mill and spent much of my short life in a home where I
was severely abused. God watched over me, though. In June,
2007, when I was 14 months old, I was found out in the country where I
had been abandoned for almost two weeks. Mom and Dad rescued me
from the County Animal Control Shelter and brought me to my forever
home. I learned to love and be loved for the first time in my
life. Here I am with my new friends, Tazzy, Duffy and Lahdi.
(I am the Westie on the right). This is a sad photo for me, as
within a few months, both Tazzy (on the left) and Duffy (next to Tazzy)
had gone to the Rainbow Bridge.
I
learned not to be afraid of things like sticks and new people. I learned
to love travelling, too, even if Mom did make me wear this silly
Halloween costume. Together with Mom, Dad and Duffy, I travelled through
many states, sitting right next to Dad as he drove the motorhome and
looking out the front and side windows. When I got tired or bored, I
just put my head on his shoulder and went to sleep. I made many new
friends and learned the world was a wonderful and exciting place - not
scary at all. I saw the Great Lakes, the Smokey Mountains and all kinds
of things.
When Duffy left for the Rainbow Bridge, Mom and Dad knew how lonely I was and brought home Piper who became my best friend.
I
learned to love going to dog shows with Piper and, at the Westie
Specialty Show in May of 2008, I was part of the Westie Rescue Parade.
I felt so special because everyone was looking at me. From being
afraid of people, I had learned to love attention and could not wait to
meet my next new "best" friends....
Unfortunately, my head injuries were too severe, my seizures became very frequent despite all the medicine Mom gave me, and I left for the Rainbow Bridge a few weeks later on May 15, 2008 in Mom and Dad's arms, knowing I had been unconditionally loved, if even just for a few months.
Bubbles
My
formal name is Briarcliff Dancing Bubbles In The Air, but everyone calls me
Bubbles. And I do bubble and dance, too. When my breeder
heard about Mom and Dad losing Sophie, she immediately contacted Mom
about me and within a week, I joined Piper at Mom and Dad's.
I
love travelling and playing with Piper and my toys, especially my hedge
hog. I spend a lot of time at the windows at home watching
squirrels, blowing leaves and, during the winter, falling snowflakes.
For
my first
Christmas, Mom and Dad gave me a great new toy - it was called a
Christmas tree. When they put the ex-pen around it, I discovered I
could jump across it from the couch or chair. Once I found the
ornament I wanted, I just jumped back with it and was a very happy
little Westie!!!
Sometimes,
I show along with Piper and we win medals. That's me on the left and
Piper on the right. This was at a motorhome rally and we were
wearing our official Westie kilts. It may have rained the entire
weekend, but I sure love being the center of attention at rallies!!
Everyone says I am such a cute, friendly little girl and I love each
person I meet.
Sara
My
formal name is Orion's Moonstruck, but I come (usually) to Sara.
Mom and Dad brought me to Michigan all the way from Long Island, NY.
Mom
tells me that I will soon start my training for the show ring, but for
now I am enjoying life with all of my new "toys".
Mom says that I am lookin' good and ready to go.
We're off to the shows so Mom gave me my own page. Please see me on Sara's page.
