Jackie, the Dog of the Day
Name: Jackie
Age: Eleven years old
Gender: Female Breed: White West Highland Terrier
Home: Wisconsin, USA
 
   This is my dog Jackie. Jackie is short for Lady Jackelon, and she really acts like a lady. She eats her food on an oriental carpet and sleeps in a bean bag. In this picture she is all wet and standing on a deck. This is up north when we taught her how to swim. Before she even gets into the water she will start moving her legs back and forth like swimming in the air. She is such a character!

    Jackie is eleven years old but acts like she is still a puppy. She plays with lots of squeaky stuffed animals including an octopus. She also loves playing with a very old squeaky hedgehog, it keeps her in practise for chasing little rodents around the yard.

    Even though Westies are very small dogs they act like they are three times their size. Jackie is no exception. Her friend Marsha is a golden retriever and they get along fine, size makes no difference.

    Westies are like wolves, as in they love to be in a pack. My mom would probably be the head of the pack because she obeys her every word. Even though I am thirteen Jackie treats me a little like a puppy being that she grew up with me. My dad and brother would be others in the pack.

    Jackie is a great pet. She is such a character making her very entertaining and fun to play with. My friend that is scared of dogs no longer is after meeting Jackie. Westies are great pets and I would recommend them to anyone buying a family dog.
