Sami's Dog Bandanas

Sami’s Westie Life

It's my birthday! 🎈🎂🎉
Welcome to The Westie Parent Podcast: cozy space for Westie lovers and dog parents everywhere. 🐾🎙️

I’m Miruna, Westie mom to Sami (aka Sami the Westie), my soul dog. From Instagram to YouTube and now this podcast, our community has grown into the biggest group of Westie parents in the world - and this podcast is where we take those conversations deeper. ❤️

Each week, I’ll share stories from my life with Sami: the funny quirks (like chasing pigeons and stubborn “westitude”), the challenges and health issues, and the heartwarming moments that make being a Westie parent so special. Sometimes it’ll be just me and Sami, other times I’ll sit down with fellow Westie moms and dads from around the world to talk about what it’s really like raising these little characters.

Whether you already have a Westie, are dreaming of one, or simply love dogs, this podcast is for you. Expect laughter, real talk, and a lot of Westitude.

New episodes out every Tuesday 💕

You don't know this but my human is chronically la You don't know this but my human is chronically late 💀 Which means that my schedule is all over the place 🐶 like if I'm supposed to eat my dinner at 7, sometimes it's 7:30 or 8. 

When the time comes, you can see me pawing at her to remind her "hey lady, it's time for my meal". 😅 She feeds me home cooked food, and sometimes it's finished and she forgets to make a new batch during the day 🙈 so come 7pm she opens the fridge and oops, need to make more food! so she throws some frozen meat and veggies in the slow cooker and I wait 30 mins until it's done ⏰ Sure, I get treats to keep me busy, sometimes we play a game where she hides them around the house and I go look for them which is fun 🤩

But no matter how much I trained her to do everything else right, this is the one thing I could never train my human to do. Feed me and walk me at exact times 😂 It's the thing I would change about her if I had a magic button.

What is the one thing you would change about your human if you could? ❤️🐾

Happy 4th of July to all my American friends! 🇺 Happy 4th of July to all my American friends! 🇺🇸💙 

I know some of you who are new here are under the impression that me and my humans are American, or living in America, because everything we post is in English. We are actually not! 😅 

I am Portuguese 🐶🇵🇹 my humans are Romanian 🇷🇴 and we live in Portugal. I do love visiting the US though, I’ve been there 2 years ago and it has a special place in my heart. My humans travel there more often, and hopefully I’ll join them again soon 🐾✈️ 

I have many American friends and I think that many of you, reading this, live in the US. If you do, come say hi in the comments 👋🏻❤️ and let me know where you’re based! 📍🗺️ 

Sending love to you all! 🥰

Want to hear one of my tips when I fly as a pup in Want to hear one of my tips when I fly as a pup in the cabin? ✈️ 🐶 Because I'm right at the weight limit, I skip the meal before my flight, so I'll weigh less when we check in 😅 Then, after I pass security, I will have some of my meal (not a full meal, to avoid needing to go potty 💩). Usually I have my meal before boarding the plane, but this time we were in a rush so I ended up having breakfast on the actual flight ❤️

💡 I have lots more tips on meals and managing the potty situation in my new complete guide called "How to fly with your dog in the cabin"! ✈️ Check out the link in my bio for details 🐾 (+ a 50% discount when you use our code SAMI50) ✨

I think doggos should be allowed on every flight A I think doggos should be allowed on every flight AND be allowed on the seat too ❤️✈️ (except for take off and landing!). But the reality is, not all airlines are pet-friendly and dogs are rarely allowed to be out of their carrier bag. This 👆🏻 happened to us on several flights, but we got lucky that the plane wasn't 100% full and the flight attendants were really nice 🥰

So I can't guarantee your pup will be allowed out of their carrier bag carrier on your next flight 🐶 I can't even promise that your tall or heavy dog will be allowed to fly in the cabin ✈️ But what I CAN do is help you prepare as well as possible for your next flight. Know the rules and work them to your advantage for what will hopefully be a stress-free flight for you and your pup! ✨ For more details 👉🏻 see the link in my bio! 👈🏻
