    Thanks. The shelter in Colorado did an amazing job - the previous owner wanted to put him down cuz he had luxating patella in both his back legs so the shelter took him over and did a couple of surgeries to fix the problems. He now can walk fine (short distance) but can't jump or do any stairs. He suffers from arthritis so occasionally we have to give him NSAID. But he is very sweet and we just love having him.

    Love Westies! My mom always had one when I was growing up - a Westie, an Old English Sheep dog and a rescue mutt - always that mix. The Westie was always the alpha boss. What's his name?

    Pixar was blind and ended up having cancer. She's the featureless one on the right.

    This is Clementine now - the only photo where she doesn't just look like a blob.

    Thanks. Now I just can't wait to get home and hang with him. I sometimes cut short my bike ride so I can spend more time with him in the park!!! Oh no!
