I only need one reason! We pick up our two westies in June!
Westies are wonderful dogs!🐶 It’s like they talk to you. And I love when they seem to smile. ❤️🐾❤️🐾
My westie will be 14 in April. I bought him when he was 8 weeks. They are the best dogs. Sami you have the best mom.

Aww, happy birthday to your Westie! ❤️🥰
My westie just became 9 months old. He is just like sami 🐶.
The internal clock is science and intution. The smell of food is at it's highest when it's served, and lessens every hour until it's gone, the dogs lose all scent of the food around 23.5 hours and that's why they come asking you because it is time for it to come back. Also my Westie mix absoulutely hates, rain, mud, and anything that sticks to his paws.
Pretty dead-on overview! Our Duffy is a delight ❤
You are so right! I have had many dog breeds throughout my life, but after my mom got a male Westie (named Sammy short for Sampson - she said he deserved a big strong name) i fell totally in love with him. After losing my Harley (a black Lab) Feb 2020 (this was very hard we had to have her put down) I told my husband if we ever get another dog i wanted a Westie. Sept of 2021 we picked up Arabella better known as Bella Bean. She has stolen our hearts. My husband had always been a cat person until we got married and he became aquainted with Harley, she absolutely won him over. I almost cancelled on picking up Bella due to the fact my husband had just came home 3 wks prior to picking her up from a 3 wk stay in rehab, & a 4 week stay in the hospital before that from Covid which almost took him 3 times. 2 of the 4 wks was in ICU intubated. I just wasnt sure if we were going to be able to raise a puppy along with his therapy & me still working full time. But picking up Bella was absolutely the best thing we did as she pushed my hubby to work on his rehabilitation toward walking again. Sorry this is so long but Bella has been our life saving miracle....
About being clean, my westie is absolutely a dirty dog. He likes walking through puddles and mud while he can absolutely avoid it. But it's true enough that among all other dogs I owned, he definitely is the most friendly dog. He is friendly to both human and dogs but he prefer to play with big dogs. Lol
Westies are the best! I had my first Westie for 15 years and loved and cherished every minute. I just adopted a pair of 2 year old siblings today! Can't wait to get them home. Your videos are great!

How exciting!! 😍 Enjoy them and give them a big kiss from me! And thanks so much for watching our videos!
My present Westie has never howled and my previous one only howled once-the day our other dog died. He only knew she wasn’t there and we think he was calling her to come home.

My westie also howled once, it's when he left my friends house where he met his first ever doggo friend. He was caught doing a long howl through our doggo cam. But when my old dog passed, he never howl, but he always stay beside my old dogs bed for almost 3 weeks before he slowly moved on.
My Westie loves going to new places! I’ve had dogs before that would happily walk around the same block 5000 times, but not my Westie! He gets bored with the same old same old.
That's it! Been watching Sami forever, but this upload settles it. My next dog will be a Westie! Thanks so much for all your Sami posts! SAM-MAAAAY!!! ❤❤

That makes me SO HAPPY to hear 🥹❤️ And I am so excited for you!! 🤩
Zoey has her routine, too - and heaven forbid anything interfere with it!
Sami is a great dog. I agree with you about Westies.
Sami is such a good pup
Totally agree. I have two, twice the trouble making and fun. #loveawestie
They are the best dogs ever.
Nailed it! Our Mylo was exactly the same way.

I adore Sami, he is sooooooooo beautiful.
Que buen video Miruna & Sami!🤩 Estoy de acuerdo, los westies son la mejor elección. Tenemos 2 Julieta & Teo. Increible como se hacen entender, son sociables, juguetones, traviesos,se adaptan a cualquier situación, la mejor compañía y la alegria de la casa. Teo es como un niño travieso, explorador, le gustan las chicas; es un rompecorazones😍. Juli es como una niña, más delicada, curiosa, le gusta ver ropa, las carteras, zapatos y le encanta que la lleven al Spa para su baño🥰

Well said!
Very nice Westie channel. Have seen many posts. Many videos, from different channels, show Westies with clothes and shoes. Is it to protect the dog or for cosmetic reasons? Or are Westies exposed to the cold?
Having had three Westies, I wouldn't have any other type of dog. When my third passes will get a fourth Westie.
My westie hauls! But not for long! 1- to our monthly local fire drills siren. 2- Some classical music pieces my daughter plays on violin. 😮 she sings along with her hauls. Westies are never stinky and belong to Royal families.

Ooh I love that she howls to classical music! So precious 🥹❤️ I've seen videos of Westies doing this, I even tried to teach Sami and it's hilarious, because I show him how to howl and he just barks and thinks he's howling 🤣🤣 He has no talent for music, that's for sure 😅
A beautiful ❤..🤗(hug) this Friday. That for me was just a lovely vlog About your Sami🐕🤩🤩🤗**Murina** So much relative..&.. good sound knowledge about Westies. .&. For anyone thinking about getting a Westie.&. would they be the right fit for us.&.a family! =Absolutely yes!! In all probability They will become the lo❤ve of your lives.🤗 ... I still have a lock of our little lady's beautiful white coat... 12 years@🌈bridge She travels everywhere with me in my 🐕❤❤❤️❤️❤️🥰 Happy weekend Sami🐕🤩..&.. family.
Bambi is my joy. ❤
So happy that Sami is doing well again and thank you for your interesting blogs. Have a nice spring and summer youall!
Totally agree
I agree with everything. Absolutely love all my Westies❤
Which airlines let you put Sammy on your lap during the flight? We are never allowed to do this :(
This is so cute. All characteristics matches with Milo❤
Thanks for another enjoyable video. Great summary. Nice that you acknowledge that they all have their own personalities, yet share similar traits. Our Pippin, too, has an internal clock for meals and bed times. He howls like a husky when I leave him. Like Sami our Pippin loves seeing new places and people watching.
My Westie lived to be 18 yrs old. He was the center of attention for my hubbie & me. We miss him terribly since he’s gone. But everything you describe about Sami our Westie was too. One unusual thing about him, we think, was that he loved eating tuna fish. Bless you both & keep up w/your adventures & information. By the way, our westie’s name was Cervantes.

I am sorry for your loss! You gave him a long, great life, which is what we can all wish for ❤️ Sami also loves tuna! Fresh steak, canned or dried, loves it! I love that you named him Cervantes 🥰
I agree with all points on why a Westie is the best selection of a dog. I just have a question? I have found with Kayie she doesn't drink much water. I have to coach her in drinking more often. Do you find this with Sami at all?
@WestieVibes
Ай бұрын
I am glad you enjoyed the video! 💛 Yes, Sami also has days when he drinks less water than usual. I noticed he drinks more when the water is fresh (and cold from the faucet), so I change it even 3-4 times a day and sometimes he drinks when he sees that it's fresh 🤭 Also, what are you feeding Kayie? If you feed her foods with high moisture (fruit, bone broth, juicy home cooked) then she might need to drink less because she is hydrated 😊
Have you ever taken Sami for a train ride? Any tips? Especially for longer rides like 8h
@WestieVibes

Yes I have, but it was a 3 hour ride. He slept the whole way in his carrier 😊 Have you watched our flying videos? We flew with Sami a lot and I have some tips for flying, similar to being on a train I guess ❤️
Does Sammy like to wear coats . Merlin hate's them he sulk s if i put one on him.
@WestieVibes

Not his favorite but he forgets about them once we are outside! I keep his coat quite short and he is not used to cold temps, so this is why I think he needs to wear them.

Un amore..ma è un cagnolino non un bambino
please be careful of over popularizing Westies. In America it leads to bad things for many breeds for example the101 Dalmatians movie. BIL had two Dalmy rescues they were great dogs for a family that had their eyes open going into the deal. All brachiocephalic breeds like French bulldogs that have their own health issues Pitbulls and all their attendant issues being owned and irresponsibly bred for and by very bad people. Sorry for being a "Debbie Downer" but I owe it to Casey , my, gift from God, and Arrabella the 20 pound Westie with a19 pound heart, and Finley my Long Leggedy Beastie who earned his Gaelic name meaning White Warrior, by being a complete mush, (Like his Dad)

Westies could do with a bit of support in the UK, I think it's fair to say that over the last 25 years Westies, as a percentage of dogs in UK have been on decline. When we do meet other Westies when walking around, they are generally much older. Our Westie is now 2, we have yet to meet a Westie that was younger than him when out on our walks. Westies need promoting and Sami is a great ambassador for the breed.

@@JOOI525 I will give credit to the UK and Ireland for following responsible breeding practices. The breeder of our first Westie, Casey, went there to obtain a very high quality breeding pair and Casey turned out to be one of the World's great great super dogs. Of course that's a completely unbiased and objective opinion!
We have two Westies, father and son and they are a pair of bastards but I do rather like the irritating little buggers.
