Read it yourself. This week’s West Highland Terrier Wednesday story is way too complicated to explain. After last week, it makes me wonder if Westies are become the new Yorkies, when it comes to crime.

It’s the weekend of May 21-22. Make your reservations of you haven’t already. The details of this year’s events are on the website. And here’s a little bit of history:
The concept of the Scottie Rally began in the winter of 2000 shortly after our first Scottish Terrier, Shayna McPunim Bronsky, was diagnosed with bladder cancer at the age of almost twelve. While ambivalent, Michele Bronsky started making phone calls to start finding a connection for potential breeders. Although there was an annual gathering of Scottie memorabilia collectors meeting (WISCOTS), it was limited to two-legged attendees.
Because of Shayna’s diagnosis and uncertainty regarding the course of her illness, we decided to gather people together in Door County to celebrate the lives of Scotties. It was the best decision we ever made! The friendships we developed through that first event sustained us during the last few months of Shayna’s life and have been lifesaving to us after her passing.
This will be the 10th anniversary of the rally. Help organizers keep up the fantastic work.

Is there a dognapping ring at work in the British town of Telford? The Shropshire Star has been investigating worrying reports about West Highland Terriers being targeted:
Thieves thought to be stealing to order are dog-napping valuable pedigree West Highland terriers across Telford, it has been claimed.
A number of owners have fallen victim to the thieves and, as yet, none of the dogs have been recovered. It is thought young, un-neutered dogs are on the thieves’ shopping list and are then being used for breeding.
And as if that wasn’t bad enough, the Star subsequently reported on a daring attempted dog snatching:
A man out walking his two dogs in Telford managed to fight off an attacker who tried to snatch them from him, police today said.Telford police spokesman Chris Ammonds said it happened at about 9.30pm on Saturday as a man was walking his two Jack Russell-cross dogs.
He said the owner was walking towards the garage at Trench Lock when he noticed a Ford Transit pick-up approaching from Sommerfield Road.
Mr Ammonds said: “An unknown man got out of the pick-up and asked the dog owner if he wanted to sell the animals.
“He was told they were not for sale, at which the man grabbed the dogs by the leads and shoved the owner away.
What a terrible situation.
