My first Westie was so far out of standard, we called him Westie Giganticus. He was about 25-28 lbs. His ears were too big, his tail was too long, and his heart was as big as they come. He, too, had one ear up and one ear down.
I consider myself blessed to have had him in my life for a little over 15 years. I loved that dog, and he loved us back. What a GREAT dog.
Being within "standard" doesn't mean jack diddly when it comes to the love we share. You love Buddy and he loves ya back. What more could you ask? And if some people don't see his beauty, they're the ones that are losing out.
Give him an extra hug and skritch for me, willya? |
