Westie deNial Virus
(Basically I just felt like making a pun there, but yes, France has denied me its Westies. Additionally, I know that "Nile," as in "West Nile Virus," is not spelled "Nial." But "denial" has an "a" in it... and I had to choose one word to spell wrong.)
*** This just in: Puns are way less funny when you have to explain them.
I am the partial-owner of the greatest living creature on the planet, a White West Highland Terrier named Jackson. Westies are the most delightful animals, and I generally have the same personality as a Westie: stubborn, determined, but still gentle and almost always enthusiastic (with the occasional mood swings).
Out of the hundreds and hundreds of dogs I see every day, up until today I had only seen one Westie since I got here, and that was while I was looking out a bus window!
But FINALLY, thank the LORD, I passed a Westie on the street today. French dogs don’t ever wear leashes; they just follow their owners. But THIS French dog was wearing a leash, and I knew why! Without a leash, that Westie would have just followed his nose, not his owner; that’s how Westies roll, they don’t let people boss them around.
I ended up practically shouting for joy when I saw him, and I asked the owner (in French, booyah) if I could take a picture of the Westie. Our conversation went a little something like this:
Me: AGH! Can I take a picture of your dog? I have the same type of dog, but he’s in the United States, and I miss him!
Dog’s owner: Uhhhh…
And meanwhile I proceeded to snap three pictures. You can see them here:

Dear Sis,
Thanks for the pics of the hot French babe! I miss having you here to scratch my chest, but I hope you're having fun. I can't wait 'til you come home. Bring me some creme brulee flavored rawhides. Love, Jackson
Jackson's so silly!
Uno got a Wire Fox Terrier cut on Fri. He looks so regal.
Miss ya!
