About Me
About me
Hello world! My Name is Preston and I’m a west Highland Terrier (A westie) and welcome to my very own website- Prestonspeaks.com. My official AKC name is Sir. Preston Peabody CGC but I only am called that when I’m in really big trouble with my mommy and daddy. I am a four years old and I live in Western Kentucky. I have two brothers and sisters who are cats but they aren’t very friendly to me sometimes. Mommy says I’m too jumpy and they don’t like to play the same way I do.
Training
I am am one trained pup!. I have been attending classes since I was five months old. I have certificates in puppy, intermediate, advanced, and two click a trick classes. I also have a novice trick dog title. So I am quite educated! I have learned so much from sit, stay, heal, to even learning how to read! I have tons of human friends at several different training facilities that I greet and talk to every time I visit. I am AKC good citizen certified as well! Currently, I’m working on competing in earth dog and obedience rally.
When I first started class
My jobs
You might think dogs don’t have jobs but I do and take my work as seriously as I take chewing my chew bones. I am a model and do some work for a photographer who takes photos to submit to the pet calendars. So far I have made it into nine westie calenders! I have also been in front of the camera as well. I have filmed for Febreze and was on the 2012 Eukanuba/AKC National Champions telecast. I also enter photo contests and won the national cuddle moments Nestlé’s holiday photo contest. You may ask how do I spend my money? I am a saver and don’t blow it all in the toy and treat isle at the pet store. I am saving for a fence for my backyard so I can run and play and invite my doggie friends over. I also spend a lot of time online on my facebook, twitter, pintest, instragram, dogster account, and now at prestonspeaks.com I would one day like to be a big time model and maybe be in a movie or two but mommy says that’s a long shot.

My friends
First I have just to many human friends to mention by name but I love them all and would give them a big lick any day. I have wonderful grandparents who take care of me when mommy and daddy go out of town and I have friends at my vet and of course all my friends at WestieMed, Westie Rescue Indiana and Southeast where I volunteer! I also have human puppy friends (kids) too such as Anna and Emma who come visit me and take me with them to the playground to swing and slide down the slides. My two best dog friends Bella and Charlie. Charlie is actually my foster brother who found the perfect forever home an hour away. But he still comes and visits and I visit him! I can’t forget about my number one girl and best friend Bella. She is a pom mix who was also in class with me and stays at my house alot when her dad is out of town. We have the best time playing!
My travels
I love, love, love to travel and am a regular on an airplane! I have even been to a fraternity conference!. That was so much fun. I even have a shirt that says I “paw” sigep! I’ve been to Nashville to Hotel Preston (isn’t it cool to have a hotel named after you…ok, ok mommy says it was the other way around). I spent my first birthday in the Smokey Mountains in a cabin. My birthday is December 25th so I’m a Christmas puppy. That was so much fun! Santa Dog even found me there and I had a stocking on Christmas morning! There is a lot of smells in the woods and I even met a raccoon! I went to San Fransisco on vacation as well. That was a blast and even made a new friend Wescott my SF westie pal! In 2013 I will be traveling all over the country as the online ambassador for 37 Amazing Pet Expos all over the US.
I’m a SigEp Dog!
My Brother
Ok I can’t leave out my brother. I have a younger/older brother named Elvis! He is 6 so he is older than me but since I was here first I claim the title of “older brother” He is a puppy mill survivor and used as a breeding dog for the first four years of his life. So we have been busy teaching him how to be a pet, what a toy is, how to go up stairs, ride in a car, etc. Sometimes we fight but we are working on that..but I love him!
My Brother Elvis
My hobbies
I love typical dog stuff like playing, chewing, and I love, love, love car rides and long walks! I love meeting people and other dogs and like going to festivals and other places I’m allowed like the pet stores. But most of all I enjoy just spending time with my mommy and daddy,my brother (most of the time) and my cats. This year I finally got my way and due to my website’s growth and popularity my mom was able to become a full time professional writer/blogger and stay at home puppy mamma so she never has to leave me during the day anymore.
My Family

Hello Preston!
My name is Lulu and I moved in next door a few weeks ago. I have noticed you through the fence and sometimes on my walks. I would like it if you visited me in my yard sometime. I have a cat to play with, but he thinks I am too rough. I appreciate the bag of dog food you donated to me and I can’t wait to try it out. I just watched you playing with the toy that makes the sound of a water bottle crunching, I will have to ask my parents for one of those! I hope to meet you soon!
Lulu I have noticed you too through the fence as well! I thought there was a new dog next door. I have three cats and they think I’m too rough as well and don’t like to play with me. Those cats just miss out on all the fun don’t they! My best friend Bella also comes over to stay here when her dad goes out of town (she is the small black dog you may see). She also LOVE to play. But we have to have a play date soon! I can bring over my new toys! Also, do you have facebook? If so friend me so we can chat!
I had a Westie for 13 years. Sadly, he got Lymphoma; and I had to put him to sleep. It was the worse thing, I had to do. He also was a boy dog. Because of my health issues, I can’t get another Westie. I need something smaller so I will be getting a Papillon on Sat.. I miss my little Westie Buddy. I am sure he would have gotten along well with Preston. I don’t know how I found your website, but I plan on following you with Preston. Buddy also did freestyle dancing, and was a therapy dog with TDI. We had many good times together. Thanks for sharing!
Hi preston,
My name is Tate (Tator-tot), I think you are SO cool, I really want to meet you!
I have lots of toys so… You Know, maybe we could play.
And if we get to be really good friends you can come to my wedding!
P.s. just becuase i’m getting married doesn’t mean i’m old, I am only 7 (dog years) after all, also known as 1 year old in human years.
I hope we can be friends,
love Tate
Hello Preston! My name is Coconut and I live near Atlanta, Georgia. I am also a very pretty West Highland White Terrier!
Hey Preston! I’m a 12 year old westie from St. Louis. I have a 13 year old westie wife named Pixie. She can be grumpy sometimes, but I love her. My mommy likes to read your stories to Pixie and I. I bark at your picture. Even though Pixie and I are old, we are very healthy. Mommy makes sure we are a good weight and eat quality food. I go camping with Mommy and Daddy. I love to swim and have my own life jacket. I swim all day long and catch fish and tadpoles. I love to ride on wave runners and boats. Let me know next time you come to St. Louis, maybe we can share a treat and run around the park.

Toto,
We hope your xray goes well and it is nothing serious. If your mom is anything like mine she worries about everything so the less our moms worry the better. Also, that is awesome that you get to spend so much time with your mommy. My mom works from home too and I LOVE having her around all the time. She is my best buddy
Stay in touch and e-mail me at preston@prestonspeaks.com to let me know how your test went! We will be thinking of you and your mommy!
Wow, Preston,

Hey Preston!
My name is Vinny the Pug and I see that we have a lot in common. We are both canine adventurers. However, I’m a bit older than you and I’m on my final and most important Quest ever. I now work full time seeking to end the killing of healthy pets. If my quest is successful, long after I’m gone, much of the United States and Canada will be 100% NO KILL by the year 2020. I would really appreciate your helping to spread the word about my quest to end the killing. Thank you so much Preston, for all that you’re doing to advance the cause of appreciating pets around the world.

Hi Preston,
We are Millie and Murphy and live in Knoxville TN. Millie just turned 3 and Murphy will be 5 in October. We love going to the dog park, car rides and long walks through the neighborhood. There aren’t many Westies that live in Knoxville so when we see one, we get so excited when we see another Westie. We hope that our paths cross one day so that we can hi to you. Until then take care my friend.
Sincerely,
Millie and Murphy Norris
