KITTY is the odd one out as she is a West Highland Terrier but you try telling her that. Anyone who has owned a "Westie" will tell you they rule the roost and she is no exception. You won't catch her rounding up sheep but she's always around to say hello and keeps everyone on their toes...funny thing is some folk didn't know westie's come in other colours other than white! ,ours is a designer shade of dung heap cream !..
