Woofen, an International Terrierist
Our Maltese Westie dog Woofen, Also Known As: Doggie Dog, Lamb Lamb, Love Bite, Pero Blanco, Wenckebach, and Little Piglet, who was a beautiful young white International Terrierist dog, half Westie and half Maltese, passed away peacefully on June 22, 2010, after a severe illness.
Woofen was 13 years old. He conceived puppies in his last week of life, with an Airdale bitch. Woofen is survived by his masters, Frank Moore, Celeste Sojourner, and their five children, John Roy, Jonathan Moore, Jennifer Killins, Melody Thompson, and Juliet Davidson. Woofen is also survived by his beloved cat, Meowen, and his dear Airedale companion, Tasha.
He was an exemplary dog for 13 years and lived a fine life, never harboring ill wishes against anyone and bringing joy and happiness to all who knew him. He was a service dog who had docile manners in public, a world traveler, and a pampered dog. He had excellent manners with cats, and loved and protected all cats. On command, he would jump up and give your hand little painless love bites. Our Maltese Westie could do tricks like roll over, retrieve, or sit up and beg.
He loved to chase lizards, and bite sprinkler heads when the sprinklers came on. He had a friend who was a crow and who visited him regularly to fly back and forth across the lawn while Woofen chased along beneath. He had a girlfriend named Sadie who was a terrier who lived across the street, they loved each other and often ran away to visit each other‘s houses. He loved bark parks, playing with other dogs, running free without his leash on wildlife preserves, hanging snoot out the car window, vacationing with his family, running in the surf, and eating shrimp and steak and chicken dinners.
He often guarded the house, and made an elaborate ritual of saying hello to his family when they came home. He loved to sleep on his masters’ bed and lick the pillows. He hated his bath but loved to be brushed. He followed faithfully at his masters’ feet, and was always nearby. Our Maltese Westie dog was dearly loved and will be profoundly missed.
