"Wendy" (Gwendolyn Denise Kate)

It is with great sadness that I must announce that Wendy passed away on January 18, 2000 of pulmonary fibrosis.  I will have a memorial page for her as soon as I work throught my grief.

"Hi, my name is Wendy and I am a ten year old female. I am very sweet and always aim to please. Sometimes I get nervous, but I also show great courage (like when I chase the big dogs out of my yard) and great strength (like when I lost my best friend and life long companion, Wesley)."
I love to: go for a walk, eat, track critters, bark at squirrels, eat, ride in the car, dig, eat, look out the window, roll in the snow, play with my little brother Brady, and did I mention, eat?

  I hate: thunder storms and firecrackers, getting brushed, flies in the house, the dryer buzzer (I attack a stuffed toy when it goes off) and squirrels.
I like to sleep: in a patch of sun, on "my" chair, under the coffee table, in my laundry basket bed or in mom and dad's bed.
Favorite treat: dog cookies and tuna fish
Favorite toy: my stuffed football, my chirping lady bug
Biggest adventure: When I caught a squirrel and it bit me on the lip.
Silly nicknames for me: Gwennie Girl, Wendy Bird and Wender the Wonder.

"Brady" (Brady MacTavish)

"Hi, my name is Brady and I'm a three year old male. I am very affectionate and love to give kisses. I like to be picked up and held and also sit on laps. I follow my mom everywhere and chase my dad when he runs. Wendy is teaching me to track critters and I am quite brave as long as mom is within reach. I've learned alot so far - I like this Westie life!"
I love to: go for a walk, chase leaves, fetch sticks (this was my idea, it makes my mom nervous), wade in the lake, get Wendy to chase me, bark at squirrels, watch tv, look out the window, lick inside Wendy's ear, sit on mom's lap, get up on the table and eat my 'duck' dinner.

I hate: flies in the house, animals on television,   motocycles, four wheelers and snowmobiles, anything that blows  outside (like flags) and going out in the rain.
I like to sleep: by mom's feet where ever she is, on someones lap, or between mom and dad's pillow.
Favorite treat: I have inflammatory bowel disease, so I can only eat my special food (duck and potato). Sometimes mom puts it on a Kong dental toy and I like to lick it off. If you would like to read more about the disease I have, click here. If you suspect your dog has this problem, please take him to your vet so he can get tested and treated.
Favorite toy: ball in sock tug toy, "squeeky" plush duck, and my black spider puppet.
Biggest adventure: When a big border collie chased me and when I saw three deer in my backyard.

Silly nicknames for me: Poo-doo dog and Brader Dude.

These are our dogs
This is their home
From which we hope
They'll never roam

They're faithful friends
We love them best.
This is their home

If dogs to you
Are just a peeve
Then by all means
Feel free to leave
