Welcome to the new interactive Westie Walkers site which includes a discussion forum for the benefit of Westie owners. The forum is a place for you to share your thoughts and tips on owning, training, and living with Westies, and to help fellow Westie owners with needs like dog sitting, play dates and walking. The aim of Westie Walkers is simply to bring together Westies and friends of Westies for fun, friendship and philanthropy. Enjoy - Maggie The Philanthropooch.

Dog-sitting over the holidays

Diane, one of our regular walkers, is offering dog-sitting or short-term accommodation for your Westie(s), including over the upcoming holiday season!

They have a large, fenced property with a great dog run/shelter .... and they love Westies!
Someone is home each day so your dog would not be alone and would be well cared for in their home.
Sadly, their second Westie  ( almost 13 yrs pld) passed away recently after a prolonged illness.
So, they would welcome looking after your pet!

Westie Wanted - Can You Help Diane?
Diane is also looking for Westie puppy ( male or female) for sale or an older Westie that may need to be re-homed!  Their second Westie that they had for many yrs recently passed away & it's a sad home for Diane without having them around.

Westie Walker cap survey

Westie Walker cap

The Westie Walker cap survey will run until midnight Saturday 2 April 2011 to determine how many Westie Walkers want caps. The order will only go ahead if the manufacturer's required minimum number of caps is met. The final price per cap will be quoted by the manufacturer when the number of caps to be ordered is known. Westie Walkers who want caps will need to pre-pay to cover the cost of production.


If there is enough interest, the caps can hopefully be ordered and manufactured before the next walk!

 

Woofstock

If you are champing at the bit for a fun day out for doggie owners, their family, and of course dogs, before our next walk, you can help  raise money for the RSPCA at Woofstock Brisbane! Woofstock will be on 20 February 2011 at the Albion Park Raceway off Breakfast Creek Road, right near Newstead Park, the venue for our next walk (see the link under Upcoming Walks in the Menu on the left). For details, check out it all out here!

Sasha needs a friend

Another of our Westie Walker community is wanting to adopt a second Westie into their pack.  Please contact Jess at the number below if you know of a male Westie that needs a new home. 

"We are looking to extend our family by inviting a 2nd Westie to join our clan. Our current Westie, Sasha, is 16 weeks old and is in serious need of an older (preferably house trained) brother. We are looking for a male (desexed) Westie aged anywhere between 8months to 3 years old. Sasha loves other Westies and we can't wait until she has a little soul mate to keep her company. If you know of anyone (or if you, yourself) that has a Westie to sell (or give away) to an excellent home, please let me know as soon as possible. My husband and i look forward to hearing from anyone who can assist us. Please call Jess on 0438383950. Thank you!!"

Fergus has Talent

One of our Westie Walkers' regulars, Fergus, recently took part in Dr Harry's "Pets' Got Talent" with his sidekick Vincent.  He was great! And on our scale he was the best dog on the day. Maybe he'll show us some of his tricks at the next walk. 

You can see his act for yourself on the BH&G website

 

Dr Harry's Dog Biscuits

Attached is a recipe for dog biscuits from Dr Harry of Better Homes and Gardens.  Lulu and Fergus, regulars at our walks, love them.  Even Lulu who is a very fussy eater.  The biscuits are healthy, salt free and will store for up to 2 months.
