West Highland Terrier Blanket: The Westie Who Loves Me

West Highland Terrier Blanket shows a loving white Westie in a warm patchwork of paw prints, bones and friendly slogans. The printed line reads “First thing I see every morning is a Westie who loves me,” and it captures the feeling of a dog greeting you before anything else in the day. Anyone who has woken to a terrier at the bed will feel this blanket was made for them.

Note: the pillow shown in the photo are for styling only and not included.

What the design tells

A white terrier with pricked ears rests its head at the center of the blanket, framed by the words in bold brown capitals. Around it, square panels repeat portraits of the same breed: one standing, one sitting, one with its mouth open in a happy grin. Bone shapes and paw prints fill the smaller tiles, giving the whole piece a crafted, scrapbook feel. The slogans “Live love bark,” “My kids have paws” and “Must love dogs” sit among the photos, so each corner adds another dog-centered thought. Together the panels look like a family album made for a household where the terrier is part of the family.

People who will use it

Westies are known for their bright white coats and confident personalities, and the people who choose this blanket usually share a home with one. You will recognize them as the owners who talk to their dog all day, the families who call the terrier one of the kids, and the friends who save a seat on the couch for the dog. The “Talk to the paws” panel fits those everyday conversations perfectly. It is a comfortable thing to pull over your legs while the dog curls up beside you.

A small gift idea

This blanket suits a Westie lover's birthday, a housewarming for a new terrier, or a thank-you for a friend who dog-sits. Give it on an adoption anniversary and it becomes a yearly reminder of the day the dog came home. Keep one on the sofa for movie nights, when the dog settles against you and the printed words seem to say exactly what you were already thinking.
