About Westie Vibes
Westie Vibes is a site about living with a West Highland White Terrier, written from actual daily life with one.
The Westie in question is Sami. He was born on September 9th, 2018, he lives with us in Portugal, and he takes his job of being a Westie very seriously. That includes joining me on a SUP board on Portugal's rivers, flying in the cabin with us since his first trip to Greece in 2019, and supervising everything that happens in this house.
I am Miruna, and I write everything you read here. Not from breed manuals - from more than seven years of grooming sessions, vet visits, training wins and failures, travel days, and ordinary evenings with a small white dog asleep on the couch. When an article on this site says a Westie does something, it is because I have watched Sami do it. You can read more about me on my author page.
More than 200,000 people follow Sami across Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, and Facebook, where we share the everyday, unpolished version of Westie life. The site is where the long-form answers live - the things a caption cannot hold.
If you are new here, the best place to start is the complete Westie guide. If you are getting ready to welcome a Westie or want help with day-to-day care, we also put everything we know into the Westie Care Guide.
