I''m a new MOM!

[UCLABelle]

To a baby girl Westie. I must say, having seen Portia a few years ago (Mara''s pup) I fell in-love with the breed. For the past two years I have been researching the breed, fostering dogs, and now that I am moving to California (back home) in two weeks, this past weekend on a trip home, fell in love with a 2.5 month old Westie girl....So adorable.

My parents just called to let me know that she was just purchased from a cute place called MoonDoggies .... and that I have a plane ticket for a quick trip home on Thursday...

They are taking some photos in a few hours...but I wanted to share the news with some of my best friends....on PS!

Her name is Lula May Hayes-Fowler (Lula Mae for Breakfast at Tiffany''s), May is spelled this way for my favorite rock guitar god...BRIAN MAY! I am an odd nerd

Oooooh, congratulations!!!!!

Westies have got to be the cutest dogs on earth.

I'm so excited to see pictures of Lula May....but I'm going to take anti-puppy pills to build up resistance. I don't want the urge to rush out and find one of my own. Widget would never forgive me...

Congrats!

My 14 year old loves Brian May too, but think Eddie Van Halen is top notch too...he just went to G3 on Saturday at the Tower theater...

OHMYOHMYOHMY!!!! Adorable puppy, and adorable name, too!!! I just wanna squeeze her and give her hugs and kisses all over her beautiful little puppy face!!!

Westie owners, I have a few questions, please. How tall does the typical Westie get? How many pounds full grown? And is this the breed that is considered hypo-allergenic... meaning that their fur is really more like HAIR than animal fur, and people who are tyically allergic to dogs MAY NOT be allergic to Westies?

I ask because someone in my family is allergic to dogs but she would LOVE to have a small house dog.

And OH, one more question (if it isn''t too personal)... about how much can a person expect to pay for a puppy? THANKS!

Lynn

AM I a bad person that I really didn''t care....based on your thread title....LOL...

but NOW, I''m excited for you LOL....WHAT AN ADORABLE BABY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Maisie]

Ohhhhh little baby!!!! I love her!!!! She is beautiful - congratulations!!!!

 

[UCLABelle]

THANKS EVERYONE FOR THE COMMENTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Lynn B.- Mara is probably best to ask (since she has had portia for 3 years now) but I will answer to the best of my abilities....my parents paid $1600 for her. You can get then a bit cheaper if you go directly through a breeder.

Yes, they are hypoallergenic. Hypoallergenic means they grow hair...but anyone that will be living with the dog should go handle them first...to be 100% sure they are not allergic. They said she was a "runt" of the litter, her dad was 16lbs and her mom was 12lbs....I think they are 11" average.
