Real life with a silly little Westie.
Honest stories, lessons learned, and everything I'm figuring out along the way with Lumi — from the unfiltered reality of the breed to the small, silly joys of terrier life.
What Nobody Tells You Before Getting a Westie (From Someone Who Absolutely Did Not Do Her Research)
TL;DR — Westies are wonderful but more high maintenance than they look. The personality is a lot, the health stuff is real, the grooming takes effort, and the mum guilt is completely normal. Here’s everything I wish someone had told me.
How Little Lumiverse Started
TL;DR: Little Lumiverse started in July 2025 when Lumi ate an apple so loudly it turned into a TikTok account. What began as a joke became a real brand after Nettie noticed — again — that Westie merch barely exists while dachshunds are everywhere.
The daily silliness lives on Instagram.
