Dedicated to my beloved Scotties
One day ahead of our UK “Strictly Come Dancing Final” Tayler and Sparta perform especially for you in a one off broadcast …… “Scotties Do Strictly”.
Not quite sure which dance this is …. The Tango, or the Paso Doble – it’s got flicks and kicks, but does it have enough for the pawfect score. No doubt you’ll let us know!!!
Agi is never far away from Mama’s thoughts. Fourteen years ago her very first scottie, Agi (Martimm Agnes of Sparhawk) was taken from her. Mama never really got to say goodbye (other than a loving hug that morning) as she hoped to collect Agi from the vets later that day, after an operation.
Sadly, the problem with Agi’s liver was so severe that the vet phoned Mama to tell her the bad news ……..
Agi was collected later that same afternoon and buried in our front garden, in the spot she most preferred.
We never knew Agi, but we are so very grateful to her for being just the right type of scottie that made Mama want to live with them for the rest of her life. If it wasn’t for Agi, there would be no ‘us’.
So, we shall spend our day in quiet contemplation thinking about Agi and all the scotties that have gone before us, those that have been physically close to us, and those, like you, our good friends who we have only known through our blog.
Another delightful puppy post from late last year to celebrate St Andrew’s Day today with ‘Scotland versus Scotland’. Sadly it looks like it’s ‘Team Wheaten’ against the traditional ‘Team All Blacks’, with Mama doling out the punishment! But we’re sure the best team won! PS: no wheaten puppies were harmed in the making of this video!!!
Hello World! This is us, back in August 2015, just a few hours old with our proper Mama, taking care of us, whilst human mama has that ‘flashy thing’ already out and snapping at us.
Tayler and Sparta bring us another Movie Magic moment. You can just about see me, trying to keep a low profile, in the background! One day they may grow up.
The Swans ….. This is me, on one of my first walks in December 2013. Fiesty little pup I was. Wasn’t going to take any nonsense from those Swans. Mama was a little worried though!
