Roughley 2000

The Four Girls (including Mama of course) on the hillside at our favourite holiday home The Roughley, in the Scottish Borders. This was probably taken in about 2000, or just before – so there’s no sign of me at all! Boo Hoo! Nevermind, I’m happy to feature elsewhere.

Can you see how well dressed Mama is? She’s certainly making sure the typical Scottish weather isn’t affecting her joy at having to take Agi, Izzy and Kelpie out for a walk for the hillside. This is the same hillside I walked up in July 2013 and I think Mama said she remembered this spot – yeah, she can’t even remember what she had for breakfast each morning!!!

When I was a “Show Boy”

Mmmm ….. now then, don’t get me wrong, I wasn’t a Show Boy for long. Mama was told by Dada,  that if she wanted to keep me and Finlay, she would have to start showing us. I was selected first and started “showing” in 2003 when I was about 8 months old. Mama’s intention was to get us qualified for Crufts and to let us experience the most famous Show Ring of all. She thought it would take her years to get us qualified ‘cos we weren’t “bred for the show ring”,  just as nice pets for nice families. Well, she got both me and Finlay qualified for Crufts in the first year of our respective show careers. We both “went to Crufts” and although we qualified for the next year after that first one, Mama said she was satisfied that once was enough. Here’s a couple of photos with the odd Trophy that we ‘won’.

This was once how my garden looked. Now we have a bigger pond and some decking. I know it looks nice and fertile in this photo, but we were unable to take advantage of the space behind the bamboo – now though, with the decking we’ve got loadsa space to sit and relax in. I’ll get Mama to do a “before” and “after” post some time soon.
