I decided to make one thread I will continue to update as I search, it'll be a list of dogs I've either made inquires about or that have been offered to me. I will update this as regularly as possible until a dog is found to avoid making many, many, many more threads:
Well, I think I might have found the dog that has the "click" I've been searching for - now if it is meant to be it'll be, but so far it's been really good. I actually found her owner through craigslist, and originally she was charging $100 but I told her I really couldn't just be throwing $100 around at the moment. I did offer if she wanted to wait that I could pull some money together, but I didn't have it off hand.
We started talking, because I've always fancied the breed it is one of my favorite terriers. I've been around them, our neighbor owned them and I've always fawned over them when we'd see someone walking one at Petsmart or Petco. I told her I what I was offering (a Good Home) and about my current dog, and other animals. She has had several other inquires about the dogs, several offering money but she has so far been waiting for us to set up a time to meet with one another. We've been speaking over a 3-day period so far. This is what I was told:
"The dogs name is Wendy, she is 2-years-old and will be 3 on December 3rd, she is a ball of personality and loves to be loved. She never meets a stranger and loves everyone. Word of caution about Windy tho, if she's headed out of doors she'll turn her head to the side and grab socks or small stuffed animals to take with her out to play. It's hilarious! She has a lot of her own toys that will go with her, she's really a lot of fun and so very loving. Windy's fur is soft and silky and her ears are floppy, she resembles a Maltese but I was assured by the breeder that she is indeed 100% West highland terrier. I have her registration papers here..someplace but I did not register her as I had her spayed and was not going to breed her."
It is a basic summary of the information I got, it was really long e-mail with tidbits about her other Westie she is trying to re-locate. The woman lives locally, we both liked that idea as if she ever wanted to see Wendy or visit it wouldn't be a trip and a half. I'm not sure about the whole "Wind's fur is soft and silky and her ears are floppy resembles a Maltese," I honestly wouldn't care if it is a mix so hopefully she is not just trying to play it off as one as though to impress me. I've still been looking even while talking to her, inspecting other possible avenues. The shelter contacted me about a boxer with hip problems, says it doesn't affect him and that he is currently being fostered and says the woman told them he still acts like a regular dog. He is 2-year-old, Brindle male Boxer who is still playful, and enjoys being a lap dog if allowed. I'm not sure about this one, I'd really have to go look at him and see if he is the one for me as I didn't feel anything by looking at his pictures other than he is a pretty, yet muscular looking dog named Diesel.

NOTE: All dogs who are mentioned will be introduced to Joans before any final choices are made, thanks
