Sweet Clint gained his wings tonight. His condition worsened, so my mom, Kathy made the decision to help him cross the rainbow bridge. She was right by his side as he went to sleep peacefully. He will join his mama, Annabelle, Sophie, and sisters, Dora and Layla at the bridge. Keep my mom, Kathy in your thoughts and prayers as her heart is hurting loosing her only dog and best friend tonight.

New sights, sounds, and scents (squirrels!) on our evening walk! 🐿️🏡🐓 Sera and Olive are learning the neighborhood quickly. The other 2 Westies of our pack are at the Moses Lake house with dad getting some work done. I’m sure they’re enjoying walking the canal road-a timeless favorite of Westies for the past 15 years!
Hope you all are having a great weekend.

**UPDATE ON CLINT**
Clint came home yesterday evening from the vet!! The vet had originally wanted to keep him for 48hrs BUT because he did so well, they let him discharge home early! Since home my said he has been eating/drinking well and even attempted to jump up on the stool! He’s been using the stool to get up on the couch for years. He appetite feel better! We will update as time goes on, but for now there are still precious days to be spent with him. Thank you to all of you that have been pulling for our guy, praying, and commenting well wishes!!❤️❤️

Westie friends and family, please say a prayer for Clint as he was hospitalized yesterday for an Addison crisis. His potassium is at a critical high level. He is getting IV steroids and IV fluid. Clint’s been declining in his health over last several months. He’s had a 6lb weight loss, weakness, and sleeps the majority of the day. Although he is 14.5 yrs old, we are choosing to have him treated at this time. Our Vet is providing critical interventions. We hope that with treatment, he will perk up and have a tiny bit more quality time left to enjoy with his mama Kathy (my mom).

We know Clint’s time on earth is limited and he may need help to cross the bridge soon. He’s lived a full and beautiful life at his age. That is the part that brings peace.

Back story on Clint:
He is my mom, Kathy’s “boy pup,” (she calls him). He was the only boy out of our FIRST AKC Westie bloodline litter of 5 puppies. His parentage was strong with champions/grand champions, from both US and England.
We kept 2 girls from the litter, Dora and Layla. Those were our
foundation moms for WW. Clint went to our mentor/breeder to be part of her breeding program as per our agreement. He produced many beautiful puppies over 6.5 years. When the breeder retired, she offered Clint to return to us. Of course, we were thrilled to have him back in our family!! We had him flown to us and my mom went with me to the airport to pick him up. He learned to live with people in a house and the softness of the sofa and dog beds. He potty trained with some patience. I had him for about 6 wks for him to acclimate. Then, Clint went to live with my mom as a close companion. His new job was to fill a space of loneliness that came with my mom’s loss of her dear Daisy (boxer and shar pei mix). She lives alone and is disabled. Clint and her have bonded to the extent that they have never spent a single day apart. This is the first time they’ve spent a night apart and it’s so difficult for my Mom. Please whisper a prayer for her as well. We all love Clint immensely.
I’ll update after we talk to the vet today.
Thank you WW family❤️

Patrolling our new neighborhood from the upstairs window! This neighborhood has a lot of action and definitely requires more surveillance than our last!

Hi friends!
Just wanted to give an update on what’s in the forefront for WW. We are going through some big changes. We have made the decision to retire our WW breeding program to focus on other adventures in our lives. We will be relocating to the Tri-Cities, WA area soon. Our dogs are and will continue to be a great part of our lives. We will continue to share our lives with our 4 Westies: Olive, Tito, Sera, and Georgia on this page. We also have Polly(shih Tzu) and GiGi(bichon frise) that may show up from time to time as they are all part of our BIG furry family! We will love updates on our previous puppies and see them here, so please continue to stay tuned in with us and interact on our fb page.
Happy Summer!

She just knows what I need🥺
She does not need to be told or asked, she just knows!
Her gesture is “there’s no place I’d rather be than right here with you mama”

My therapist has 4 paws & goes by “Sera.”
