At work I was chatting with one of the flute players
about my Westy. Her reaction to finding out that I
owned one was that of (and I'm paraprasing here):

'I hate those people!' (Westy owner/drivers) 'They're
too wholesome with their outdoorsy camping....' etc
etc. Couldn't quite understand where she was going
with her mini-rant, but since she's quite the amazon
(6' +) and looked like she had a long reach, I let her
unravel her tale. --- ;^)

Of course we were just joking around, but I think at
some level she really felt that Westy owners were not
her "cup of tea". Of course I couldn't give a R'sA
about her reaction, (she will never set foot in my
van!!) just thought it funny/unusual. Me still being
somewhat of a newbie to Westies.

Cheers,

Neil.
