Seven Year Old West Highland White Terrier?

My 7 year old westie has been showing her age a little more than usual. It takes her forever to get moving in the morning, like her joints need time before she can do anything. She is acting hard of hearing as well.
She eats great food, has a huge yard to run in (and oh does she!), other dogs to play with and a big fluffy pillow at night to sleep on. I dont know what I did wrong to have her be acting so old in just the past year.
Should I start her on a sort of supplement? More excersise?
Is there a way to make her more “puppy-like and playful”?
Thanks!

How Do I Train 7 Month Old Blue Healer Boarder Collie To Quit Chewing On My 3.5 Year Old Westie’s Muzzle?

I have a 3.5 year old Westie that defends herself around other dogs pretty well, even my brother’s Pit Bull. My boyfriend has a 7 month old Blue Healer Boarder Collie mix that continually chews on the Westie’s muzzle and face. The BHBC will pin the Westie down with one paw just behind her ears and sit on her with her back end and proceed to chew on the Westie. Early on the Westie didn’t get too upset by this but it has gotten out of hand and the BHBC is hurting the Westie. When we try to separate the two the BHBC will lunge at us and bite at us. What do we do?

Please Help Me House Train My 3 Year Old Westie!!!?

We have had our much loved Westie for 3 years now but have never been able to get her clean! She will go to the toilet both outside and inside! We ignored her messing in the house and praised her for going outside but nothing has ever changed! We had to get rid of all our carpets and had wooden floor laid everywhere. The main problem is that I’ve got a 2 month old baby now. I don’t know what I’m going to do when he starts crawling? I have had to start thinking about rehoming her. That’s the last thing we want to do so if anyone can help then I would really, really appreciate it!

We Have A 2 Year Old West Highland White Terrier That Bites His Right Paw, Mainly When He Is Excited. – Help?

My westie does this too. Apparently its normal, especially when the weather is damp/wet. It was described to me as getting out of the bath and not drying in between your toes which would cause irritation. The advice given to us was to keep his hair short, his nails trimmed and check his paws regularly for irritation.
