Maltese Westie Dog - Betsy

My Maltese Westie dog is very lovable, but she has her moments. She likes to have your attention and will wine or bark until you pay attention to her. She is a rescue dog which we adopted from a shelter in Philadelphia. We got her a nice dog bed; she doesn't sleep in it, she tears the stuffing out. We tried putting the stuffing back and sewing it up, but she just tears it out again. She loves to chase rabbits and bird in the back yard. She saw a bird fly on top of the shed in the back yard and she stood there and barked at it like it was supposed to come down to her so she could chase it. She sleeps with us at night, sometimes between us and sometimes at the bottom of the bed. She loves to go in the car and barks at all kinds of things on the way.

She has a favorite toy: a pink plus bone. She carries it around everywhere. She lays on her back and plays with her toys in her paws like they are hands. She likes to throw her toys up in the air and chase them around the room.

I could go on and on, but I think you get an idea. Our Westie Maltese dog is just the love of our lives. We are older people and we certainly have spoiled her.
