Mommy and Daddy post this web site in Loving Memory to Emma and Tara. They were faithful companions for many years and we miss them dearly.
Our names are Emma Peel & Tara King. We are West Highland White Terriers, otherwise known as Westies. We are named after television characters, played by Diana Rigg and Linda Thorson, from the classic 1960's British show, The Avengers. Our Daddy says that Westies are the most beautiful and smartest breed of dogs. Don't you agree? Of course you do!!! We "hounded" him (even though we are Terriers) constantly over the past three years to make these changes. Many of our friends' pages are updated monthly. One would think that with as many cute pictures that Daddy has of us, he would update our site more often. We want to tell you about many things that have happened to us since the publication of our original Westie web page in 1998. We moved to a new house with a brook and, unfortunately, both of us are being treated for Cushing's Disease (see our page on Cushing's Disease).
Our favorite hobbies include chasing rabbits, squirrels, mice, and wood chucks. Daddy doesn't like it when we bring back a trophy. Here's an action shot of us running and a picture of Mr. Squirrel in Daddy's garden.
Tara enjoys soccer (football to our European friends) and plays the forward position well. Emma plays goalie, and is thrilled by stopping Tara from dribbling. Here's a picture of Tara with her favorite soccer (foot) ball.
Mommy and Daddy are so lucky to have us. We let them share our house with us. They also like to take us on vacation. Here's a picture of us relaxing at Grandma's house. Grandma and Grandpa enjoy our visits. They prepare special gourmet meals for us and play with us for hours.
We would like to thank everyone who have sent us email. We enjoyed communicating with other Westies and the people who loved them. Messages have come in from places as far away as Australia, Denmark, Canada, England, and The Netherlands. Click on the links below to visit other pages within our home site. Visit with our less fortunate friends at the Chester County SPCA, Connecticut Humane Society, and Westie Rescue. Volunteers and donations are always needed.
