Kirby Became Fluffter 4
Loren has adored Westies since she was very small
and was always stopping to make friends with Westie's she sees when she is out and about.
A visitor to an old neighbour of ours owned a Westie called Holly.
Whenever Holly arrived at our neighbours,
Loren would go and get her, bring her home to see Coney and then take her out for a walk.
This is Loren with Holly in Aug 2000
Tim and myself have told Loren for years that one day she could have her own Westie.
A friend of Loren's has a beautiful Westie called Molly. At the end of next year, Molly's Family are planning on a litter from her and we had decided that Loren might be able to have a Pup of her own from Molly.
As the months went by, Tim and I asked Loren if she would like to have a slightly older Westie from Rescue instead of a pup. She had to think long and hard but decided she would like to, as long as the Westie was quite young, so she could have lots of fun and train her little dog.
A few weeks later I decided to make some enquiries online about a Westie for Loren and we also put our names on a couple of Rescue Homes waiting lists.
Within a few days I received a call about Kirby and was told all about him. Loren was so excited and when I told her he was only eight weeks old at the time she was so happy she cried!
Kirby was Rescued by Many Tears Animal Rescue. He was bred by a Puppy Farmer and was surplus to requirements, as he had a Hernia and needed an Operation.
Kirby had his Operation on the 5th August and recovered well then went to live with his Foster Mum Lyn in Somerset but very sadly his little Sister did not pull through Surgery and died.
On Monday 15th August Kirby came home with his new Family and started his new life as Fluffter 4.

PLEASE know that my Family and I would NEVER support Puppy Farmers and would ask you to take a look at the link below about Puppy Farming. Lets hope one day soon there will be an end to the trade.
