It's good to hear you all enjoyed the walk last weekend. It was lovely seeing you all again after so long.
If you have any photos that you'd like to add to the album below, drop them in an email to us.
UPDATE: 11 August 2010
We've received some fantastic news! Mahlah and her pack have been able to find Ruby a new home; although it's a fair way away, it sounds like Ruby will have an idyllic existence. She'll be moving to Hervey Bay with a retired couple who live on the beach and walk twice a day, and who have been wanting a Westie for some time. They don't have any other pets and Ruby will be Top Dog!
We love a happy ending!

Wee Ruby is an absolutely gorgeous Westie who needs a loving home where she can be Top Dog!
We have received the following information from Mahlah, her current Pack Leader, who has had to make this difficult decision.
"We have a 3.5 years old pure breed West Highland Terrier, Ruby. We originally purchased Ruby hoping she would be a companion for our 5 years old Westie, Frank. However when Ruby reached maturity we found they both started fighting. They simply don’t get on and over the past few years we have managed the problem by keeping them apart. This has worked up until now but recently we have welcomed a new baby in the family (2 weeks old) and management of the two dogs has become an impossibility. We are seeking a new home for Ruby who would thrive in a single pet household. Ruby is a very loved Westie and beautiful loving pet and we really want to find the best home possible for her, unfortunately due to irreconcilable sibling rivalry we have to give her up."
So if know someone who needs a Westie to brighten up their likely otherwise ordinary lives, or if you and your Westie might have the necessary generosity of spirit to give gorgeous Ruby the extra special attention she needs. Mahlah can be contacted by email malkens[at]optusnet[dot]com[dot]au
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.
