Tuesday Tantrum!

Sparhawks at the pub

There will be if we don’t get to go out!

Dad came home from work extra early yesterday, and so we thought we’d take Them to the pub across the fields.

We had a lovely couple of hours all in all. The weather was just perfect. And soon after we got back home, we had our dinner – yummy!

However, this morning there’s talk about NOT GOING OUT TODAY! Just because we went on two walks yesterday does not mean we don’t get to go out the next day!

We’ve told her how unfair that is. Soooooooo ……. she said we would go out later.

As it happens, we always go out much later on a Tuesday ….. so it’s win win for everyone and Tuesday Tantrum is kicked into touch.

Do your Peeps make up these silly rules?

Monday Madness

~ Sparhawk Scotties ~ 2 Comments

Yap! Another week starts.

Mum says we are maddening on a Monday. Apparently we act as if we’ve NEVER been out on a walk EVER  … so She says!

What she doesn’t realise is that on a Friday when we read and write Peemail, we expect to visit there again on the Saturday – but this isn’t always the case. More often than not we go elsewhere for walks at the weekend.

Soooo ….. Madness on a Monday is only to be expected … there’s a lot of peemail to read that’s been left for us over the weekend and we are desperate to get to it!

However, She says that we are like this EVERY day. Acting as if we’ve never been out. We don’t actually believe that. We are just a happy little pack of very well behaved Scotties. (If you believe the bit about well behaved …… well poetic license and all that, plus we like to make you guys believe we are good little boys! She will tell you a different story)

Anyway all back home now. Half baths completed; carrots eaten; now time for a lovely afternoon snooooooze. See Fin already assuming the position!!!

How was the start to your week?

Happy Half Birthday!

Gus 12 and a half today

HAPPY HALF BIRTHDAY GUS!

Gus is 12 and a half years old today. The photo above was taken on his Birthday Walk back in February (post is on Scottie Dog News site)

We had a little panic with him last night though. He started shaking and his ears were at half mast and he walked with a severe limp! We were very concerned. His pads were checked for alien objects, but nothing of concern was found. He just tried to curl up and make himself comfortable. When offered chicken, as a small treat to see what his reactions were, he bunny hopped, wobbled and limped on three legs very quickly to get it! So, we thought that perhaps he’d twisted his back leg when jumping up onto the settee.

This morning though all seems fine! He did his usual moaning and groaning to get his peeps out of bed to make his breakfast. And he was able to do his bunny-wave. Thank Dog for that!

At the moment he is back to being miserable, in fact we are all miserable because we’ve been told that we’re not going on a walk just yet. She wants to see whether the limp has really gone. He is 12 and a half, and so She says more care must be taken with our Grand Old Man!

Hey ho! We’ll just get in Her way as she tidies up the house for the weekend – perhaps She’ll get so annoyed with us messing up as She tidies up that She’ll take us out instead – there’s hope for three wonderfully behaved Scotties!
