Hamish, the Scottish Scottie!
Hamish … in the lead
Scotland – Yay!!!
OK, this for Mama, she lived there.
IOM, again!
This is how interested I was!
My “adopted” home!
Scottie Mascot
Leading the troops
Typical Scottie, pulling the leash
What a stadium
Singapore, for one of our friends
Oops, some had to be carried
Aren’t we cute
Red Arrows
Red Arrows flying over stadium
Tunnocks tea cakes, mama’s favourites

So, OK, the photography’s not brilliant, but you get the meaning. Perhaps next time Mama ought to visit the place, rather than sit in front of the TV. Next “Games” is the Gold Coast, Queensland, Australia. All in all I think we Scotties stole the show. What d’ya think?

Scottie Health Awareness Day

~ Sparhawk Scotties ~ 7 Comments

Today is the 2nd annual Scottish Terrier Health Network’s “Awareness Day”. So it’s time, once again to break out that plaid and wear it with scottie pride. Some of you “joined in” last year, by sporting tartan ribbons. If you fancy doing it again, don’t forget to send us photos for our 2014 Awareness Album.

Here’s just some of the photos from last year ….. See if you can spot a friend from blogsville ……

Finlay’s goodbye video ….

I don’t think Mama managed to put this onto my blog, but here’s a video compiled by a very very dear Facebook friend, whose scottie, Ruffles,  was diagnosed with TCC at aged 7 and is still thriving and surviving today. Ruffles and her staff put together this tribute to Finlay on behalf of Mama last year and I thought I’d share it with you today, the first anniversary of his crossing the rainbow bridge. Miss you my little brother …… we certainly had some great times together!

Thank you Ruffles de Scottie and Munchkin de Scottie. We shall cherish this, and your friendship forever

Thoughtful Thursday

Anyone got any ideas how we can keep Mama off the ‘puter  so that we can keep in touch with our friends. She seems to be hogging it all for herself – so not fair!

I’ve even allowed Fabi to have her photo here – well she does look likes she’s pleading for something ….. Maybe Mama will relent and let us back on the ‘puter!
