Willow the Westie (3-6 Months)

Just a quick update with some photos
and a bit of video of my Westie puppy, Willow.

She was 6 months old on February 15th and is growing and learning fast and well!
She can sit, shake both paws, roll over, lie down, step nicely into her harness, walks well and loves to play with anyone or any dog!
Her favourite things right now are: ice cubes, vanilla yoghurt, my Dad, and Buddy, the Upstairs Dog.
She still is working on: not jumping up, coming when called (works almost every time!), staying on command and she is almost totally house-trained...only one or two slip ups this last month.

I love her to bits and she is a great little friend to have around!!


Almost 3 months old...exploring a basket.

She loves lying in front of the fireplace, soaking up the heat.

Posing on my bed.

I asked her to Sit so I could snap a photo and she curled up between my feet!

Sweet sleepy puppy.

Being silly and jumping up while I was trying to take a photo.

Sooooo dirty and muddy after a great playtime on Dallas Road with her doggy friends.

All white and fluffy after her bath!!

Sitting all cute waiting to go outside - 6 months old.



And here is a bit of video I had from the past few months. She keeps me pretty busy that I always forget to take my camera along with me for some new photos or video clips.
Watch for one of her regular Dallas Road friends, Trigger!

Tommy and Bobby Mueller


For those of you not on facebook, here is an album of our dear little ones,
Tommy & Bobby - my new twin nephews!!!

Angie and Tom were over visiting in Victoria and just packing up their things to leave when her water broke on Sunday, November 15th, 2009.

My parents and Tom took her to the hospital and after a c-section, the boys arrived shortly after 6:30 pm!!!


Tommy 4.1 lbs

Bobby - 5.12 lbs

The Delivery care was excellent, but unfortunately someone higher up decided that they did not belong in Victoria and arranged to fly them over the next day after we all begged for them to stay. So on one of the stormiest nights this winter, Tom, Angie and the yet to be 24 hours old premies were shuttled by helicopter over to the Burnaby hospital.

Luckily, the babies were both healthy and doing well, aside from needing some tube feeding to get their weight and strength up. And Angie was an absolute trooper and despite the rigamarole of being shoved from one hospital to another, she did really well and was feeling healthy after her surgery.

The boys, Thomas Cole and Robert Michael, spent 2 weeks in the NICU (Neonatal Intensive Care Unit) to be observed and supervised with their feeding and health, but did remarkably well!

My parents visited a few times watching them through the glass doors, then later allowed to hold and feed the little guys in a family room.

I had already arranged a few days off to go visit around their original due date, Dec. 1st, so I was with Angie when she got to bring them home!!

Tommy pushing Bobby..."This is my side of the crib!"

Angie feeding Bobby

All swaddled like little burritos!


I then had a crash course in feeding, burping, rocking, swaddling, and cuddling newborn babies! Exhausting but so wonderful, precious and worth every second of tiredness!! I treasure those few days I spent with them!!
