ABOUT US

This page was last revised on 26th April 2009

We are Woody and Gemma, otherwise known as WaG, otherwise known as Team Westie!

We live in a large kennel called a house. It has a ground floor and an upper floor linked by stairs. For this reason, the upper floor is sometimes referred to as upstairs, and the ground floor as downstairs (but only when you're on the upper floor - how can something be "down" if you are already there!?

I'm Team Leader, and Gemma is a member of the Team I lead, the others being Julie and Ian. Those other three all have their own version of events but, believe me, the only reason everything around here runs so smoothly is because Woody the Westie has everything under control! Gemma and I work as a Team, hence the expression "Team". Although we often protect our kennel (I mean house) together, sometimes we take it in turns. The window sill is big enough for two of us, as is one of the arms of our sofa (I believe the other arm is also big enough but, unfortunately, it points away from the window so is of no practical use).

Two lookouts are better than one!

Passers-by refer to our house (kennel) as the "House (KENNEL!) with the two dogs in the Window" OK OK - don't start humming that song...anyway, there are two of us, there are two waggily tails, and we are definitely not for sale!

How Much is that doggie in the Window?

Another example of good teamwork is when we want to be served our meals. One of us - usually Yours Truly - will lead the way (in case Ian or Julie has forgotten where the kitchen is) and the other - usually Gemma - will bring up the rear, gently nudging Ian or Julie, to hurry them along and prevent them from going all independent and heading off to where they want to go! We call this peopleherding!

So that's a brief update for you! The previous pages can still be found in the
