Thanks Angela, well he was looking very smart alright until he went out for a walk this evening and had a lovely roll in some pooh !!!! Gerry said he got up and raced around the place as happy as anything . So it was home and into the kitchen sink for him. I did feel a bit sorry for him as he really doesnt seem to like the water at all, but it had to be done. He loves the dryer and lies there like a lord. The groomer was a bit over zealous with the cut but it grows very fast so he will be fine in a week or so, he is definately feeling the cold poor chap.

Apart from todays antics all has been well. Abby and scrappy still have their mad times where they do laps of the house. It is so funny they literally go mad, chasing up the stairs. Scrappy gets under the bed upstairs and abby doesnt really fit, well not at speed then they come tearing down the stairs and around the living room and back up again if they are not stopped. Scrappy has this mad skip when he runs its so funny. So all in all things with the little man and Abby are all well. Its like he was always here, he fits in so well. Mad as a hatter like us all

Hi folks, its Scrappy here. Its a while since I have been able to post, but life is just a busy place. There is a buzz around the house today and Abby tells me we are going on holidays We are going to Achill and Abby has been there before and says its great. She told me there are fellas called "sheep" there, and that I look like a little one. That will be interesting to see what thats about. I hope we have some sunshine as I do really like the sun. I try and catch some when it comes out.

Scrappy, you really do need to try and relax a bit more
Enjoy your holiday young man

Thank you indianna for your best wishes for the holiday. Silly old me hit the submit button before I finished. Well my bed is on the line and Abby’s too. Abby is giving out about the heat but thats cos she is black and shiney and she gets hotter. Im getting excited now as it sounds like a fun place. Mary & Gerry are concerned that I might want to go into the sea. I dont think there is any chance of that as Abby says its not as nice as the lake where she loves to go and swim and play. There is something called waves at the sea which she says are scary.

Abby says there is also lots and lots of lovely smelly places to roll in, Oh I cant wait.

I will fill you all in when I get back or while im there if this laptop works. Hope you all have a great day tomorrow.

Scraps and Abby

Hi there, Scrappy here. Well what an exciting time I am having. I love this place. Firstly we had a very long drive, but I just sat in the back curled in a ball all the way. Abby kept getting up and annoying me.
The house is great. Lots of good places to hide. There is no stairs which is strange !!

I am allowed out in the garden with abby. There is this strange thing at the gate make of metat. Abby says its to keep the cattle and sheep out of the garden. She doesnt like it as it makes as noise when you try to cross it and paws get stuck . But I just had to have a go when I saw one of those sheep chaps passing the gate. OOPS. not a good idea. All my legs got stuck and Gerry had to come and rescue me. He told me I was bold and not to do it again.

I tried to tell him I wanted to say hi to the sheepy chaps but that didnt matter. These sheep guys are very big and need a lot of grooming as they are very matted. The are allowed put colour in their hair, like red and blue !!!! Im not allowed do that. Maybe its because they are much older than me..

Today we went to the lake which is very nice because there is a huge big space beside it with lots of the sheep chaps again. Abby and Gerry played ball and I sniffed around and found some lovely Pooh to roll in Gerry and Mary very cross again so I just ran off and thought I would play with the sheep chaps a bit away. I ran to them and they kept running away. They ran onto the road and the cars had to stop, I followed them a bit but Gerry was running after me and I was gettting scared on the road. I turned around and ran towards my family, but didnt want to stop playing yet. So kept running away when Gerry got near. Eventually he caught me by surprise and the lead was put on me. Then I heard Gerry say "never again with no lead" !!!!! More trouble . They gave me a horrible smelly bath when I got home and now im all white and clean again.

Im feeling quite tired so will sign off an will come back soon with some photos of me and miss goody goody Abby

Scrappy, perhaps your people slaves would like to sign up to "Owners in Distress"? Sounds as though you are REALLY enjoying your holiday, so that’s the main thing!

[Indianna]

Know what Scrappy? I don’t think the sheepy things are quite ready for you yet. You mustn’t scare your humans by running anywhere near roads. Sadly, I have to agree with your father about you wearing your lead or a nice long line. That said, I laughed my head off when reading your blog, you are a happy Scrappy and that is all that counts

[MARYMAC]

Hi folks,
I think I have now consumed enough wine to just laugh at todays antics Scrappy is just as mad as a brush. He was running around like a little duracell bunny on speed !!!!! He just loved the freedom. And for quite a while he just hung around Abby as he rarely leaves her side. But for some reason best known to himself, he saw the sheep moving and decided to go and investigagte. So the picture is: sheep crossing a road, slowly as they do, followed by a pooh coloured bichon !!! Well I dont think that what the people in that car had envisaged when the sign said "sheep crossing". He sort of ambled back on the grass and came towards Gerry who at this stage was trying to be cool and just walking slowly as the running hadnt worked. Scrappy just slowed down to take a breath and he was nabbed .

So I think we have had enough action for now. Long peaceful days ahead hopefully. A bit of sunshine thrown in would be nice.

Mary.

Well Scrappy, you do tell a great story. Sounds like you landed on all 4 paws there. You seem to be keeping them on their toes. The exercise is good for them.
Have a great holiday, keep away from the baad sheep.

Polly, Bosun, Bella, Jasper and Heidi. (wish we were there)

Thanks kathy for putting that pic up. As you can see Mr. scrappy seems to have learned from his experience of falling down the grid. He is so funny. He stands there for ages barking at all that goes by. I am still a bit nervous of leaving him out there with abby alone as he is totally fearless it seems. yesterday we went up to a lovely beach nearby. It is a very narrow road and sheep grazing on the steep mountain on one side, and the verge on the other. Well his little head went from left to right so fast I thought his head would spin off.

He is stuck to abby like glue. She cannot go out of his sight without him following her. She sometimes looks as if to say "give me a break please". They are very cute together and even though abby is so much bigger, he is well able for some rough play and gives it back twofold.

Mary, Gerry, Abby and Scrappy
