The 10th Westie Get-Together in Lake Sagami


On 10th November 2013,  300+ Westies got together in Lake Sagami.
It is our annual get together to celebrate the breed.

This year we had a slightly less turn-out, 
perhaps due to the poor weather forecast.


Angie's theme was Scotland.  
This is because her human parents visited and stayed in Polltaloch this summer 
on a Westie trail . 



We set up tables & chairs and cages.  
Some dogs were in carts as the ground was very muddy 
due to the overnight rain.

It is always so exciting to see so many westies.
We had a great day and we look forward to the next one!

Angie meets her sister after 5 years

From left Angie & Tiffa

Five years ago, they were born as sisters out of 6. After a month, they began separate lives. Tiffa went to a furever home in Kobe. Angie stayed with a breeder in Tokyo for more than a year and found us.
Three years later, through miraculous wisdom of a third person, we came to know about each other.
And this year, after five years and one month, they were reunited.



We humans saw similarity in their appearances or differences in size or temperament. We have no way of knowing if Tiffa and Angie were able to tell each other as siblings.
They greeted and sniffed each other, showing no particular excitement or apprehension. It seemed as if they accepted each other and sat together quietly for hours until the meeting ended.


Tiffa & Angie



Apparently both Tiffa and Angie fell asleep within five minutes of getting home. I am not sure if they understood the meaning of their meeting, but it certainly was an exciting day for both of them.




Friends gathered to welcome Angie
