My Story

Amy was born on May 30th 2001 and came to stay with us on the 28th July the same year.

I remember the Saturday I met you. Dad came in and said "close your eyes". He placed something in my lap and when I opened them, it was you my Amy puppy.  So started our beautiful friendship.
You loved to tell everyone you were about and people thought it was funny when I would put my finger up to my lips and tell you "shhh". You actually did quieten down.
You were a fiesty wee monster who loved motorbikes as you always thought it was your Uncle Rabbie coming to visit.
One of our special places was the beach. We could spend hours on the sand and walking along the prom on the way back home, you'd get up on your hind legs and clap your paws so you would get some attention from passersby. 
We discovered you had clicky back knees when you were a year old. They affected you more in the colder weather and as you got older, you got slower and slower in the winter months.
Apart from that, you were a really healthy Westie and I can count on one hand the number of vet visits we had to make with you.
When you slowed down this winter it didn't really worry me. When you started refusing to go on long walks, I wasn't unduly worried either. After all you were getting older. You were sleeping a lot but still eager to go outside, eating, though not as much, drinking and still wanting your loved daily dental stick, the last thing you ate.
Then one Sunday, I had you in the garden and your back legs gave way. I carried you upstairs and when you walked you were dragging your back left leg. You lay in your bed and fell asleep. Later, when you woke and stood up, you staggered like you were drunk. I phoned and got you an appointment with the vet. After the examination, we were told that you had liver failure and only had 48hrs to live. Even with treatment, you wouldn't last a month.
I looked into your eyes, they weren't as bright as they once had been, you licked my face. I cried as I carried you back through to the surgery. I did the hardest thing I've ever had to do.

Rest in Peace my beautiful girly girl, my Weemee. xx

Amy died on the 14th January 2013 and broke my heart. <3
