What is your Character or traits?
I have been meaning to ask this for a while now about our friends here...Biba is full of them ..She is like Eric in her aloofness,and so much like Ellie in her boyish ways..she can be quite a little thug sometimes and often wants to be defiant and get her own way...she is very strong on the lead at times and very very stubborn if she is onto a mouse or vermin and you need to carry on walking. Nimby used to love looking out of the windows in the car and at everything but Bibsy is not really interested until we get somewhere and then she starts to look out ...some dogs she is good with but sometimes she can just take instant dislike to others..oddly enough sometimes Westies yet you would think having Drew she would be fine. I have moved to the other side of the bed as she was insisting on going on my side when I got in from the bathroom,and now she decides she wants to lay the other side where I am !LOL..she does like a sort of cuddle and tummy stroke on the bed or her back massaged gently but will grumble if I nudge her in the night...sometimes I have about two inches at the side of bed with her and Drew stretched out! She has a greedy bowl for her food as she ,since we got her has always bolted her food too quickly,but Andrew has one also as he is the same ,albeit a bit slower since he had those five teeth out that time. she goes out in all weathers but once back does not like her tummy wet so I keep a supply of towels on the radiator . I am in the office at the moment and she comes in and lays in the big chair or on a padded box by the radiator so she likes to know what I am doing but sometimes gets cross as I am not playing with the balls with her ...crawling on the floor to be at her height zooming the balls along aches sometimes . She is really pleased to see me if I have come back from work at mid day and tail wags all round. She will get the zoomies sometimes and wants to entice Drew to play..which means chasing her..which he does do sometimes but I have to watch she does not bump into him with her antics. It will be interesting to see some of the other terriers here what they are like ....I will put about Andrew on tomorrow Bless him..it will soon be time for our beddies.she will possibly lay on her back by the side of me..after I have moved her over again!! while I read and Little Drew will be snoozing along my legs Much Love Annie Bibs and Drew xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Re: What is your Character or traits?
Annie, I love this question! Emmie is so like Kelsie in many ways and in others, she is the direct opposite! Emmie can be as stubborn as a mule, loves to go on walks but balks if we don't go the direction she wants to take! I swear, she'd happily go for a walk in the middle of a blizzard...the weather doesn't bother her at all and she thinks nothing of thunder or lightning! Unlike Kelsie, who loved to go for car rides, Emmie gets car sick if we go any distance. Where Kelsie had to be up looking out a car window, Emmie travels in her crate and really doesn't go along unless it's to the groomer or to her vet. Kelsie didn't like to be disturbed when she was sleeping while Emmie doesn't mind and if she's wakened, she immediately rolls over for a belly rub! Kelsie slept in bed with us but Emmie heads for her crate at bedtime and we don't hear a peep out of her till morning. She's not a lap dog, but loves to snuggle up close to you on the couch. Emmie doesn't chase balls, but has a little rubber duckie that we have to play catch with several times a day. Kelsie loved the cats and Emmie is the same but every once in a while, she'll chase Minkus around the room till she gets grumbled at. I think the only reason she chases him is because the other cats stand their ground and don't run! LOL While Kelsie loved all dogs, didn't matter what size they were, Emmie is scared to death of large dogs, practically climbing up your leg to get away from them! I'm sure I'll think of other traits as soon as I sign off, but that's all I can think of right now! Can't wait to hear what everyone else says about their pups!Love, Deb, Emmie Sue, and Angel Kelsie

Re: What is your Character or traits?
Great question, I have had 4 westies and they have all been different, buster was all boy,loved to walk,didn't like big dogs, wasn't crate trained, so slept with me, was a bed hog. Robin was very shy maybe being a mill dog, things were scary for her. Presley was a quiet guy, love being in the yard, all three were certified therapy dogs and love to go on visit, then there's Ollie he is a sweet little guy, but loves his squirrels and sounds the day chasing them, loves his walks, he is the only one crate trained hw goes in at bed time ands sleeps all night without making a peep, he loves belly rubs and toys. All were different but I loved each and every one.

Re: What is your Character or traits?
Love the question Annie! My Bo Bryce is a TV watcher. He knows all the commercials that have dogs, cats, horses or birds in them. He immediately sits up and barks at them to keep them out of the house!!! Such a character!!!
