Portrait

I am a 9 year old west highland terrier. I am reasonably well travelled in the UK and Ireland. Having secured my pet passport I have decided that as I am a dog with no short measure of self esteem I should get my tail wagging and start heading for european travels.

I like fun and adventure. I usually travel with my 'parents' Neil & Pennie...who like to go travelling about watching birds and other wildlife around the world.Oh ...and I have a brother westie called Angus who also tags along!
