Now then! I thought the last Flashback was a long time ago, back to 2001, but this one – well, this goes back millions of years …..

A dinosaur footprint. This was taken at Staffin Beach on the Isle of Skye. It’s quite famous for it’s footprints of dinosaurs. There’s quite a few, but this is, apparently, by far the best. Oh, and the photo of me ….. yes over to your right and down a bit, yes that’s right, the black & white one of me on the rocks, well thats taken up there on the Isle of Skye. Brilliant place, I miss visiting it. I’ll have to have words with them and perhaps we can do a visit next year and get some up to date photos for you guys.

Anyway ….. enjoy this footprint!

This one dates back to August 2001, so I’ve been told. That’s Her legs and feet and a hand holding onto a bottle of beer (nothing’s changed there then!) Our peeps were on their belated honeymoon in the Scottish Borders at a secluded crofters cottage literally miles from anywhere. No electricity, just gas lamps, gas cooker and a fire that had to be made every day if you wanted hot water. They said it was idyllic. They took two very good friends with them and their scotties (bred by Her of course). So in this picture you can see Agi with the chain/leather collar. She’s looking longingly at Him who is in a boat (this place had it’s own lake/loch with rowing boat and boat house & that’s them at the boat house on the decking) Agi just loved being in that boat. She would sit in the Prow as if she was a sea captain. Anyway, I digress. Also at the back is either Izzy or Kelpie (both were there) and the two on either side of Agi are William and Poppy. Poppy is still with us – we all met last week for a gathering.

In keeping with last weeks Flashback Friday, this is another of Agi. Just sitting. Waiting for that boat to return!

This is one of our brothers from our “real mama’s” 2nd litter. See how tiny he is. One ear up and one ear down – sweet lil’ thing!

I’ve resurrected “Flashback Fridays” which showcases some of our photos from the past. We hope you continue to enjoy!

Now then! This one goes sooooo far back in time that we’re not even in it. Just thought I’d add a bit of culture. On a Friday. No! too close to the weekend and you’re all wanting to chill out. Don’t worry, next week it’s back to normal!

gus, few days old February is full of memories here. 8 Scotties puppies were born in February over the years, and this picture is of our beloved, but sadly missed older brother Gus (born 12th Feb 1999).

What a handful. He remained a “handful” throughout his life, but not in a bad way. He was larger than life. His placid and balanced temperament was second to none. Never a snarl on meeting other dogs, but a slow wagging of his rudder like tail spoke volumes – didn’t calm the pair of us down – oh no! we lived up to the “terrier” attitude that is so common with us Scots.

Hope you enjoyed revisiting Gus as a baby – we certainly did!
