This blog is about Groucho, our fearless, bewhiskered, blessed with a wonderful sense of humour, who, thanks to the wonderful Westie Rescue (www.westierescue.ie) we were able to adopt and he is now our much loved Four Legged Family Member. We hope you enjoy reading about his adventures and his Westie view on life!

Fly Season
They actually call it Summer, but I call it 'Fly Season' - and boy are the flies bad 'Down Under'. This is me, down at the river, in 'fly patrol' mode. I can sit very, very still (yes, quite strange for a Westie, I know!) and then, WHAM, when a fly comes near me, I snap at it. My strike rate is quite high and the Two Legged Ones refer to me as their eco-friendly fly killer! Much as I dislike these pesky little things, it doesn't put me off going outside - after all, what sort of Westie would I be if I allowed a few (make that more than a few!!) tiny little things to dictate terms to me - and, really, it would take a lot to stop me from my swimming activities!
Hope your Christmas shopping is going ok and you are all gearing up for lots of treats. I keep hearing about a baked ham for Christmas lunch - and I can't wait for that, I can tell you! Oh, and I've seen my Christmas present (I sneaked a peak) but, well, I wasn't supposed to so I'll just act surprised when it's given to me on Christmas day!
I also thought I should add this - many of you who read this will know about it already but in case you don't, please take a look at Mayzie's blog (see Blogs I follow below). The Houston Pittie Pack has had a terrible, horrible time of it lately and I thought, well, the more of us who do what we can to help them out, the better.
Woof for now.
Groucho

Flies drive me insane. I will say, maybe I need to sit still more when trying to catch one. I am too busy chasing them!!
Hey...i snap at flys too but my favorite is those giant bumble bees...I chase those suckers all over the yard jumping like a little westie kangaroo!!! Merry Christmas to you and happy Fly trapping!
