Here’s Fabianne, wearing her Tour de France bandana in support of her namesake, Fabian Cancellara, who now leads the Tour de France after Stage two. Well done Spartacus!Image

Fabi’s not too sure that she’s able to take over from Bobby yet, so for the time being she’s asked me to carry on the good work. Most of you will already be aware of Fabi, but this picture and description above give you a clue as to how we came about her rather un-scottish name – I absolutely adore Fabian Cancellara.

Bobby, (Sparhawk Sapphire Knight)

14.02.03 – 16.06.15

One of the reasons for our absence has been trying to fix Bobby and get him better. Sadly our efforts to achieve this failed and we said an extremely emotional goodbye to him. He was cradled in my arms, in the garden of the house into which he was born, and at my nod, his wonderful vet Victoria, eased him gently across that Rainbow Bridge. He fought so very hard, in true scottie style, to win his battle not only with kidney failure, but liver problems and finally pancreatitis. He will obviously be forever remembered by me, his Mama. I know we’ll all meet up again one fine day.

I’m sorry that this will come as a shock to you all, but since April 2015 I just wanted to spend every single moment with my bestest boy, and to cherish the short days that I knew he had.

Here’s just 50 photos out of 1,000’s that I’ve taken of my scotties, but these sum up my beloved Bobby.
