Welsh Highland White Terrier (Westie) (Listen while you read)
A twinkle in me eye; a bird on a bush; a flower in a meadow; so many wonders about all.
Ahhhhhhh… life’s grand!
(Yes, life is indeed grand for this little fellow. He is able to see the good and the not so good and yet, not be overwhelmed by either. A wonderful ability is this! He/she, the Westie personality, will have many strings to their bow. Indeed, many things shall this personality be able to do.
At times though, this can have its disadvantages as this personality comes to terms with its own possessions. Yes, this personality possesses many talents, and strives to do all of them.
What is needed for this personality is to adjust to what is appropriate; not an easy task for such talent. No, this personality will be a late bloomer (generally) due to the ability to see more and to do more than the average puppy, so to speak.
We would suggest taking it easy; Rome was not built in a day, and neither will you be.
Does it matter if your talents go unneeded? Does it matter if the world sees your prowess? Does it matter if you do not affect the entire world with your abilities?
No dear friend, it does not matter one iota. What does matter is your ability to enjoy your life; and, given all of your very substantial talent, this should not be a problem. What remains is for you to accept your limitations, and enjoy those things that come to you easily and through your own personal efforts.
Yes my friend, success can be viewed in a multitude of ways. Personal success will have the greater degree of satisfaction when one realises that few really care.)

Wow . . . what a BIG personality for such a cute little dog . . . 🙂
This is something that gave me such freedom when I realised it…: Very few ‘care’ whether or not we (others) are successful…! We strive to be successful in so many ways throughout our lives; and it really comes down to whether or not we feel successful within ourselves. In other words; success is purely subjective. In the end, it matters little what others think about us; the measure of ourselves can only be determined by ourselves…..
Yes Catherine I agree, t’is a big personality for such a cute little dog, and those who are attracted to him… 😉
Cute selection… And wonderful advice!
Not to be confused however; with those who are meant to have ‘popular’ success. Yes, it still takes effort (as indeed you are finding out) however; for you dear Hook, outward success is to ‘have its day’… Just remember to ‘enjoy’ it…! 😉
Definitely summed Chelsea and Cass up in our family :-). Chelsea can tell whether my sister is going to have an epileptic fit before she does. Amazing animal xx
They are at that!
I’ve heard of that happening; they can do that for a number of medical problems.
I heard/read recently where dogs are being trained to detect some cancers; by smell… Quite incredible our little friends.
This must be a great comfort for you and your sister… Wonderful… xoxoxo
