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.
