As a ex-dog trainer I know from experience - try and find a short easy name for your dog. There is a funny commercial on TV right now where the man comes in and calls this long abnoxious name out for his dog and the dog of course does not answer. Try to keep it no longer than 2 syllables or make sure you have a good nick name (which will become the dogs name anyway so just go there).

I have a friend who named his dog something like SirHighland of WestPort and it's now down to "Meat Tube" or "Meat" for short (yes it is a weiner dog). Keep it simple...

For Westies I do like Molly... something that sounds Scottish like maybe Kirsty, Aila, Artis, Netta, Torra or Skena.

Maggie...I have always wanted a dog named Maggie

I like Maggie too- it fits with Molly- both nicknames of Margaret.

DH thought of Soleil (say it so-lay), which means sun. Very bright, very cheerful, and fits with your nick, hellosunshine, don't you think?

Hugs & butterflies,

Congrats on your decision to save this little dog. She will be a very loyal friend.

We have a beautiful Westie female. Our second. First Westie was handed down through 4 previous owners before we got her at 9 years old. (The last threatening to have her put down because she didn't always remember to stay off the lawn, and do her business in the allowed area of the yard.) She had a few little quirks, which didn't really bother us. I couldn't use a broom near her and if she heard the ironing board being moved or erected, she would attack its legs. I became quite an expert on ironing board manoeuvres. She became an extremely loyal, loving, beautiful family member and we were devastated when she suddenly died (natural causes) at 13 years.

Our current Westie is very spoiled. She sleeps on the bed, tells us when she wants to go for a walk, and often where. One day she refused to walk home as the person we usually visit wasn't home when we arrived. She sat down and refused to leave. I had to carry her 1km. 8kgs gets heavy after a while.

Enjoy your new little pooch. So happy for you.
