Rudy joined the Waller family as a four month old puppy in 2005. He is actu­ally an Amer­i­can citizen since he was born in upstate New York. He is the third West High­land White Terrier Dr. Waller has owned and like every other Westie, he is feisty, funny, affec­tion­ate and demand­ing. His favourite things are treats, walks and sleep­ing in front of the fire­place. He hates baths and for reasons known only to himself, the sound of our oven range hood. In his younger days, he main­tained an ongoing feud with the neigh­bor­hood wildlife (partic­u­larly squir­rels and opos­sums) but now that he is a senior, he seems to have declared a truce and no longer bothers with visi­tors in the yard. He loves Dr. Waller’s sister’s two Cairn Terri­ers and meets them for walks several times a week, but other­wise he is content to eat, sleep and repeat. Rudy has always been and remains the perfect pet for our family –we love his hand­some good looks and mischie­vous person­al­ity and he makes us laugh on a daily basis.
