My first ferry ride a few days ago was a success! My first ferry ride a few days ago was a success! ๐Ÿšข๐Ÿถโค๏ธ 

The sea was calm so I didn't even realize when we took off, it was smooth sailing ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป 

My humans paid 30โ‚ฌ for my ticket on the ferry and an extra fee for the room plus 10โ‚ฌ for me to be allowed to access our room ๐Ÿพ Which was great because I slept like a puppy and I was more rested! 

This long trip tired me a little bit, since we change locations everyday, so humans try to book time for me to sleep during the day so I'm comfortable ๐Ÿถ๐Ÿฅฐ Otherwise I am cranky and hyper (much like a baby ๐Ÿ˜…).

One question I got a lot is how come I don't pee indoors? ๐Ÿ’ฆ Human trained me since I was little and I learned to never mark indoors. I was also exposed to a lot of new environments constantly (restaurants, stores, hotels, planes etc) so I wouldn't even try to pee indoors (except if another dog peed there ๐Ÿซข in which case I'll be honest, I might do it to establish supermacy ๐Ÿ˜†๐Ÿซฃ๐Ÿ˜…).

Would you try dog shoes? ๐Ÿถ๐Ÿพ Here are some Would you try dog shoes? ๐Ÿถ๐Ÿพ 

Here are some questions everyone asks me: 

โ“"How long did it take you to get used to the shoes?" Literally about 10 minutes (there is a video on my YouTube where I show the first time I put the shoes on), but every dog is different. My advice is: wear them at home for a few minutes at a time and make sure human rewards you with treats! ๐ŸŒŸโœจ

โ“"But do they stay on?" I did zoomies in these shoes many times! I also like to scratch the ground hard with my back paws, to mark my territory. ๐Ÿ™„ They never fell off ๐Ÿพ They are attached with velcro that goes all around the leg.

โ“"Where did you get them? And what size?" I got them from @wagwear and I wear size XS. If you want to try them too, use my code SAMI10 to get 10% off! ๐Ÿ˜โœจ

Look at my tail when the little girl kisses me, a Look at my tail when the little girl kisses me,  aww! I'm often approached by little kids who want to kiss me or play with me ๐Ÿถ My human always makes sure they know I'm friendly and it's safe to pet me, because I love kids.โค๏ธ But that's just me ๐Ÿพ

So it's a good idea to teach kids to always ask the owner if they can approach a dog they don't know ๐Ÿ‘ง๐Ÿผ๐Ÿ‘ถ๐Ÿฝ Not all doggos are as easy going as I am AND not all dogs like kids! ๐Ÿ˜Š

Also, toddlers can be too much sometimes ๐Ÿ˜… I've had toddlers yank on my leash, try to sit on me, hit me or pull my tail ๐Ÿ˜ฌ That's when my human steps in and pulls me away from the situation, because while I won't react in any way towards the little human (I'm surprisingly patient), I do look away A LOT and I yawn in an obvious way that shows I'm upset. ๐Ÿ˜ฃ

So humans, please teach your kids to play nicely with us doggos โค๏ธ #westievibes

My humans got us a room and I got a very cool gift: a pet bag with treats, wipes, pee pads and poop bags! How thoughtful! ๐Ÿฅฐ

This past week I was in the Greek Islands with my This past week I was in the Greek Islands with my humans ๐Ÿ๏ธ Did you know that cats here can be quite aggressive? ๐Ÿพ๐Ÿ˜พ Not to mention they are EVERYWHERE. On the street, in restaurants (tavernas), hidden in bushes when I pee on my walks ๐Ÿ’ฆ (I once almost peed on a cat's tail and I didn't even see it was there ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿˆ๐Ÿˆโ€โฌ›).

A few days ago I was attacked by a cat mom who thought I was a threat to her kitten. ๐Ÿ™ˆ I was on a leash and she came hard at me, scratched me above my nose and she even jumped up at my dad once he took me in his arms to protect me ๐Ÿ˜ฑ๐Ÿ˜ข Then she followed us INTO the taverna at the first floor, so my humans had to take me back to the boat to avoid the cat ๐Ÿ˜ฃ

It was scary but I'm ok! ๐Ÿถ The scratch was small and healed overnight. I was very lucky that my nose and eyes are intact ๐Ÿ€โค๏ธ Humans are now extra careful with me whenever there are cats around. They would rather hold me than risk this happening again. ๐Ÿฅฐ

Did you ever had a bad experience with a cat? ๐Ÿฑ

Sometimes I like to sit like this, mid-nap, and le Sometimes I like to sit like this, mid-nap, and let my human scratch my chin and ears ๐Ÿฅฐ I'm normally not into being touched too much, because I'm busy doing stuff (like sleeping or keeping watch), but sometimes I'll allow it and I'll close my eyes as a sign that I enjoy it ๐Ÿ˜…
