Ornament of the Day: A Glittering Westie

Long before Bertie ever existed, I always liked West Highland White Terriers.  From the time I was four until I was twenty-one, we had a beautiful Lhasa Apso named Mrs. Odetts who was a valued member of the family.  Just as today, I will give gifts to the family from Bertie, my parents gave gifts from Mrs. Odetts. This ornament was given to me one Christmas nearly thirty years ago as a gift from our lovely dog.  Little did anyone know at the time that I would share my home with a plucky, wonderful Westie.  So, now, each year when I put this ornament on the tree, I am happily reminded of two exceptional dogs.  That’s the true spirit of Christmas—remembering those (both two-legged and four) who have brought quality to life, both past and present.
