Winston
Winston lives in Newcastle upon Tyne, England.
He was born 8th December 2004.
What can we say about 18 months old 'Winhead' as he is affectionately known? He is our 6 stone, loveable, stone-deaf soft baby who gets bossed about by our 3-year-old tiny cross- Yorkshire terrier, Milo!!
His favourite past time is lying on the settee in the middle of us, having his belly and chin tickled. He loves been centre of attention and playing with his 'adopted' brother Milo. Two very different dogs who would be completely lost without each other! We often get strange looks and comments in the street about how odd they look together, but to us they are the perfect pairing!
He is partial to bacon and sausages for Sunday breakfast, adores crisps and loves ice-lollies and ice cream.
In the summer months he doesn't mind being pinned down and covered in factor fifty sun lotion after an incident when somewhere quite delicate got burnt due to his love of sunbathing on his back!!!! Made my boyfriend's eyes water for weeks!!
He is a bit of a rogue having chewed a complete window ledge off and ruined a kettle, toaster, chair, hair straightners and Milo's metal water bowl (which he flattened and chewed beyond recognition!) plus many other things and we are yet to find a toy or chew he can't destroy in less than an hour! (Even the expensive 'guaranteed indestructible' ones sold in loads of Pet Shops!)
We did worry about his deafness but is such a happy go lucky dog and has picked up sign language quite quickly thanks to the sheer determination of my fella.
He is a sensitive soul and will cry when put on his 'naughty step' and when told off always comes over to touch us in some way as if to say 'but look how handsome and cute I am' and if he is left outside in the garden when we are doing DIY in the house he will sulk for the evening when let in and lays on his pillow looking depressed and abondoned causing much guilt to both of us.
Chasing his tail like a lunatic and ghost walking in slow motion are his favourite things to do he really does have the strangest habits true to bull terrier form which I am sure make us love him even more!!
