Brodie

​Brodie is lovingly known as our "foster flunky." Last year this three year old boy was suddenly returned to rescue when his new family could not keep him. We received a panicked phone call from the rescuer saying Brodie needed foster care for a weekend while she attended a family event. Since our last Westie had passed away several months before and our house was enroute to the event, we were an obvious choice. Brodie announced his arrival with the bark of a German shepherd and a coat so overgrown that we had to look twice to find the Westie! We promised to enjoy him for the weekend and get him groomed so he would be ready for another placement. We were not yet considering getting another Westie since we were still grieving the loss of our last one. But, by the time Sunday evening came, we had gotten to know this very smart, easygoing dog. We agonized over the decision to open our hearts again but every day we are now glad we did. That foster boy has become a wonderful addition to our family.
