Dedicated to my beloved Scotties
This was us three boys (Me, Gus and Fin) on a boat. A big boat that cruised up and down Ullswater. Not a big ferry boat, but certainly bigger than a rowing boat. As you can see from our ears, we weren’t too sure about the whole thing. But with Mama and Dada at our sides we soon began to enjoy it.
Have any of you been on a small cruise boat …. or any type of boat for that matter?
Wow – we’ve not had any snow. Not that I’m complaining ‘cos it does look nice when viewed from the comfort of a warm house. Can’t say I missed it this year – at least we got out on plenty of walks and weren’t cooped up too much.
Told Mama not to mess with photos of babies. Too many people like to see babies just as they are – nothing added to them – but having looked at this photo for some time, they do actually look quite funky! So I’ll let her off.
This is Gus. My sadly departed older brother. And this is him at his best – Begging – we always encouraged him to perform this trick, because whatever he got, we got as well. I think that was real clever of me and Fin. It meant we never had to perform ‘tricks’ (so demeaning for us scotties) – but Gus didn’t mind – he was only interested in food and he’d do whatever it took to snaffle a smackerel of something or another. God bless him – I now rely on looking very sorry for myself when Mama gives Fabi her many puppy meals throughout the day – it works! I get an extra biscuit or two!
