My Two Girls 
My Millie
These are my two Westies, Gracie and Millie. Gracie is 12 years old and almost deaf. Millie is 5. Their birthdays are close together. Gracie was born on the 11th November and Millie’s birthday is the 28 October. Millie has now taken the top dog stop and sometimes bosses Gracie about, even growling and snapping at her at times. She is a little smaller than Gracie as well.
Millie also has escaped her harness at times so we had to find one that she couldn’t escape from. So now she wears the black harness with three straps on it. When we take them for a walk at a local nature reserve, they try their best not to have their harnesses put on. Millie will even go and sit on her bed under the table. So I have to pull the bed out to grab hold of her.
Millie may be top dog in the house but Gracie is boss when we go for a walk. She knows exactly where she is going and what route to take. Sometimes Gracie doesn’t want to go for a long walk so she will take a short cut down some steps and back home. Millie will just follow.
Millie is quite a nervous dog and doesn’t like surprises. She will bark at anyone who surprises her. And she doesn’t like it when people are walking behind her. She also doesn’t like bikes and will try to chase them, barking.
Gracie after she has just been groomed. We left it a little too long before we had them groomed this time. We usually have them groomed when we take them to the kennels but this time it wasn’t possible. So, we had to find another groomer just this once. This groomer was almost a mile away, which I had to walk them to as I don’t drive. It was a longer walk than they were used to so they had quite a good sleep when they got back home.
