~Nicks Home~The Westie is originally from Scotland but Nick was born in the United States and imported into Canada. Nick my grandmother lived in Nova Scotia translated it meant New Scotland. Every Christmas we went back to my grandmother's sometimes we took the train. It was a wonderful place to spend Christmas -there was always lots of snow. My uncle would cut down a tree from the back woods and the house was full of people. The last time we went together my father Nick and I was in the summer. I went somewhere and my father and Nick went out back to go on a hike. Nick must have seen something -he must have loved the freedom-off he shot after it. My father hiked for hours looking for Nick. He hiked to the top of the mountain-there is a lake there. When he finally arrived home there was Nick lying on the sofa-he had been there for hours according to my uncle. Nick always knew where home was. My uncle told my father that when he came back next time he'd have salmon. When I would go to visit my uncle would remind me that the salmon was there waiting. When I visited DC I had salmon-it was really good. My Aunt Margaret always wanted to have one more Christmas there...
