5 Favourite Photos

~ Sparhawk Scotties ~ 8 Comments

Our friends on Facebook asked us to post a favourite photo, each day for 5 days, and this is our first one, which we thought we’d share with you guys.

This photo was taken on 12th February 1999 when the last of the 4 scottie babies was born to Mama’s beloved Izzy. This litter included my older sister Kelpie, and the infamous Gus. You can see that the baby on the left is not quite dry yet. Izzy was the most attentive mother any scottie pup could have and years later, she would still clean us babies even when we had matured ….. and of course us boys loved it, except Gus!!!!

The v*t called with the results. It’s not what I hoped for.  The sample taken from my leg contained melanoma. This means that it has spread and there’s no sense removing the lymph node in my leg-it wouldn’t matter.  They decided not to put me through chemo or radiation. He knew a man who underwent radiation and said it was hell. While that man was in the waiting room for his radiation treatment, he talked to a woman who was doing the same thing. The woman said that radiation was much worse than childbirth. They’re letting me finish my life naturally as long as life is good. When it becomes a burden, They’ll help me cross. I have about 3 months left but it could be as short as one month or as long as six. I’m a terrier and I don’t surrender easily so I’m going for at least…

THIS JUST IN: The little man is home safe and sound. And none the worse for wear! Eyebrows? You can hardly tell the difference. A few stitches and a little groggy, but snoozing like a baby. The POTP helped him soooo much… and you know what? He didn’t even need anesthesia. Just a little painkiller. WOO HOO POTP!!!!!

If I could arroooo, I would! Signed, The Peep

Y’all are the best!

That’s what Stuart wanted me to say for him today, so here I am. The peep. (Gee, I’ve never done this before; he’s such a better blogger than I am!)

As you know, our little man is at Dr. Elliott’s to have a couple of things removed and tested today. We’re quite sure that the little growths are benign and nothing to worry about. We’re just being cautious and getting rid of them. To be on the safe side.

Today, my friend Jazzi from Illinois crossed to the last taco stand. She was only 8½ and   I certainly didn’t expect it. When I couldn’t find a roll of special Scottie duck tape to use for my Scottiemobile licence plate mailing, Jazzi just sent me a roll. What a friend.  I’m shocked because it was unexpected, she was so young. Her family was smart-they even have a human pup named “Kyla”. I’m gonna miss her. Please stop by and honor Jazzi with a comment. http://jazzis-world.blogspot.com/

Jazzi’s big favorite was tacos. October 4-taco day should be Jazzi Memorial Taco Day. Are you listening, TPTB?

Here’s Jazzi earlier today. She made the rest of us happier. Go to the great beyond knowing you were loved here.

Flashback Friday

Wow! Now then. This is ‘The Old Man of Storr’ on the Isle of Skye (apparently our ancestral home if you believe some of the history books). The Old Man of Storr is the monolith type structure, so I’m told! My real Mama (Izzy) and sister Kelpie had actually been up there. Mama thinks this was taken in or around 1997 or 1998.  Their little sturdy legs carried them right up to the ‘cathedral’ and beyond. Although I have been to the Isle of Skye, this is one majestic icon that I didn’t get to leave any pee-mail on – and according to Mama I never shall ‘cos she says her legs are far too old to walk up there again – boooooring!

For once you don’t see me drinking, just sitting outside a drinking establishment. The place is Chapel St Leonards, and the drinking establishment is the apparently quite famous Admiral Benbow – who? Anyway, Mama took the photo of us sitting with Dada. This is just one of the many new places we get to visit during our trips to our 2nd home at the seaside.
