As a puppy Gizmo somehow got the anti-slip ring off his water bowl around his head.
Look Pacco what I’ve got! 😂

We’re getting ever so closer too acquiring another Westie, a companion for Pacco. Our only remaining question; acceptance of another dog into his domain after losing his brother in December, rejection or jealousy for fear of affection, or, will he become a nurturing alpha male who’ll protect, and teach a new puppy.

From our personal perspective it must be a perfect match; not for me and my wife. Rather, for Pacco, it’s imperative that he’s content with another dog coming into his personal space. Of the possible outcomes, I feel as though he’d welcome the opportunity of becoming accustomed to sharing some of his space with a new family member.

Our next task will be searching out opportunities where puppies in general would be available for adoption, which would provide an opportunity for puppy exposure. Once we’ve overcome that last hurdle our next step will be to locate a local breeder, to see the parents, and surroundings.

Everything that’s been popping up lately pertaining to Westie’s is completely unacceptable to us. That is no one is offering to allow us to travel to their location to see the puppy/‘s being offered, nor will anyone bring a puppy to us—except that is until the puppy in question has been COMPLETELY PAID FOR.

When saying locally, we have no problem driving a hundred or so miles just to check everything out. We’ve done it multiple times before. Business, is business and offer and expectance isn’t complete until inspection of the goods has taken place.

For two decades we call Southern Arizona over home, and welcome the opportunity to meet any breeder of Westhighland White Terriers. r/Stevesvoice

Soon it’ll be five months that we lost our Gizmo, and gained another Angel looking over us. And, Gizmo truly was, and is eternal Angel. I still think of how much they melt into our hearts, shaping our lives in ways we aren’t always able to explain other than to say—our lives revolve around the. Whatever we do—we plan around them, wherever we go—we plan, and check that they’re taken care of first, before we eat—we ensure they have to eat first.

The pain never goes away, especially because of the depth of eternal love they bring into our lives. Our Gizmo crossed over in such an unexpected moment, that within an hour he was gone. And the personnel in the Emergency Room tried everything. From CPR to an adrenaline shot, nothing helped our poor Angle.

While they worked on him, an ultrasound brought light to his problem. His Liver turned up as a solid black mass…Liver Cancer. He had gotten up from behind my head shortly after 3am, and I heard him in the master bedroom getting sick. My wife went with him downstairs, and he ran out the back door, and pooped. No sign of anything unusual, until he went over into the corner of the yard and vomited.

After which Gizmo just laid down, and my wife called for him. He didn’t get up. So, she picked him up and brought him inside and laid on the floor where I was sitting to check him out while my wife went upstairs to get dressed.

I laid down holding him in my arm and checking his abdomen, which was blotted. Gizmo got up, taking a few steps as though he was looking for something. He. Returned to where I was laying on the floor and curled up in my arm, and just looked up in my eyes. Looking as if to say “I Love You, and always will.” At this moment Gizmo’s Brother came over to him and sniffed on Gizmo’s body, and let out a howl that I’d never heard in nearly 40 years of having Westie’s.

Unfortunately, I realized just what Pacco’s howl meant. At that moment my wife returned dressed, I said Gizmo needs help, he’s bad off, and needs to go to the emergency room. She grabbed him, while I stayed with Pacco and sped off to the local Animal Hospital.

A short time later my wife called crying to let me know that after all the efforts poor Gizmos heartbeat was so weak they felt he wouldn’t pull through. And they told her they’d discovered that with his faint heartbeat, they told her that there was no brain function, and he was gone.

Gizmo’s our fifth Westie to crossover that rainbow bridge into Heaven, spanning nearly forty year’s, and all hurt and pull at our hearts, yet I don’t have any regrets sharing our lives with any of them, because they are what make our lives whole.

Gizmo’s passing was 2 December 2026. Since than his brother Pacco has completed and graduated from socializing for dogs training, which was a major hurdle since Gizmo was the Alpha Male of the two. And before we can consider looking for another Companion for Pacco, we have to be assured that he’s ready and capable to except another dog in his domain. r/GizmoandPacco “…”

Such a beautiful surprise came up yesterday as Facebook memories.

A photo of my Angel Gizmo 🌈 with his Red Ball, Pacco on the sofa. April 15, 2021

It’s extremely strange that on the 2nd of December when Gizmo crossed over the Rainbow to become my Angel Above…his Red Ball disappeared! We have never seen it again, and the house has been turned upside down, the back yard, no way to be found.

It’s still hard realizing my Gizmo will be gone 3 heartbreaking months on Monday. In all my years I’ve never had such a friend/ family member as my Gizmo was. And believe I’ve had a number of Dogs in my lifetime. With the celebration of his life, and knowing that he’s watching over us, I know he’s listening when I talk to him every night.

God bless my little Angel Gizmo, and Gizmo keep a good watch on your brother Pacco.
