Mum thought it would be funny to post a blog about us “peeing”. So here you will find photos of us reading and writing on the peemail trail.
What you will discover is that we are kept very busy each and every day, as there’s new stuff laid down regularly. And sometimes there are lengthy messages to read. We like to do our job right! Don’t all Scotties!
Just a few interesting facts for 4th July
There were 56 signers of the Declaration of Independence, but they didn’t all sign at the same time, nor did they sign on 4th July 1776. The official event occurred on August 2nd 1776 when 50 men signed it.
Thomas McKean was the last to sign in January 1777.
Both Thomas Jefferson and John Adams died on Independence Day, July 4, 1826
The first public Fourth of July event at the White House occurred in 1804.
Yeah, we know. It’s not quite the end of the Month, but it is the Last Friday of the month, and so we must put pen to paper and to complete the “Last Word”.
Where has the time gone. Mum still thinks the Time Bandits are knocking around the house in a plentiful amount. We don’t mind ‘cos time is time and what will be will be and all that stuff!
We were busy at the beginning of the month. Us three Scotties went camping with Mum and Dad and the families of their three best friends (with kids …… yeah, noisy right!).
We arrived a day before and stayed a day longer than the two nights the rest of them had booked for. We can’t describe how noisy it was for us, we’re so used to camping with bigger people. The smaller people are a bit too energetic for us. We were told that we had been very good boys throughout – hey! what did they expect.
We camped at a place called The Pudding Room. They had a big field in which several tents, trailer tents, caravans and motorhomes could pitch. Its a pretty basic site: No electricity, only two toilets, both containing a shower – lengthy queues there then, beside a rather noisy road, but, the owner was very welcoming and friendly and overall the four families thoroughly enjoyed themselves.
We’ve not done too much more, other than our usual “morning walks”. Haven’t been groomed (properly) yet as Mum left the grooming bag in Doris, and she’s have some more extended work done to her. So we’re a bit tangled, but hey! do we care – not one little bit. Mum does though. I’m sure we’re in for a torture session soon.
SWAT was launched – funny hey! – but we keep on seeing and hearing such wonderful sights and sounds that we must share with you. So keep an eye out for our SWAT-ting.
We’ve got our own Twitter account, so if you fancy following us on there, then look out for our name : @sparhawkscottie we’ve never had so much fun barking, muttering, yapping and whining using only 140 characters. We’ve taught Mum a lot – but she’s still got more to learn.
Just heard that our next “Horder” gathering is nearing completion, we’ll post something later on that; we think it’s in August, but we weren’t listening too well.
Gus has just got told off for helping the birds finish off some cookies Mum put out for them. He’s a right scavenger. Just the other day a young man offered him a crisp (which he, for Gus, politely grabbed!) and since then any male coming towards us Gus thinks has food for him!
We’ll sign off for now. If you “paw” through our blog, you’ll get an idea of what we’ve done during June.

This is Bobby’s “watery” impersonation of the iconic image of Marilyn Monroe and her skirt being blown about in that film we Scotties can’t remember. See how Bobby’s “skirt” (sorry Kilt) is raised up. Which do you prefer?
Plus: look how much water we had to contend with today!
Bobby being Marilyn!
Clan walk 6th May!
Wow, where’s the water come from
