Hi all, Archie ( Saul) is in tip top form He is a great little fella and has tried so hard to be good but loves to rip bedding and throws but we can live with that He is now part of the Bichon scottie gang with charlie the collie in retirement. He has come on in leaps and bounds. His coat is coming on really well and he has the cutest face ever. He loves the walks and in the evening he sits up on the sofa to relax. He folllows us around the house and is never far away. He was not keen on going out to the toilet at first, I think he was afriad he would not get in again but he has got over that now. He loves playing ball and has loads of toys. The toys never last long as they are pulled in three ways We are delighted with him and his little curly wurly tail is always wagging. Lucy, Charlie and Hamish have taught this little fella so much and I am delighted to say he is a very happy little bichon who has loads of love to give

Delighted to see the scottie team are keeping up the gardening and veg plot Hamish has had to give up the gardening as we have paved the garden so he is looking for a new past-time at the moment Hamish sends his regards and he is making an appearance at the old folks Christmas party as the guest of honour
The scottie clan and collie are looking in tip top shape. seasons greetings from Hamish, Lucy, Archie, Charlie & Timmy (cat) and two humans

Hi Catherine, Hamish our scottie chewed everything in sight for the first year! The alarm wires, tv cables, pieces of wood around the doors. You name it he chewed it! we bought every toy and bone also but he still loved to chew. He was two in october and I would say in the last six or seven months he has stopped. He loves his bones now and loves to spend the evening chewing away on them. He loved shredding beds also but this no longer happens. The scotties have such big jaws and teeth. Wish I could be of more help but they do stop in the end!!

Hi All Achie update. Achie is doing great. He has settled in really well and is now one of the gang. Himself and Lucy got new hair ‘do’s this week. He is delighted with life Here is another sofa picture as its the only time they are still. His coat is really begining to come on and he is getting the bichon look. He is full of licks. He loves a game of ball and is faster than Lucy and Hamish so he get the ball first. He is a tiny little fella . He has a big fan club and when is on his walkie he gets lots of hugs and pets.

Hi All, Just a quick update on ‘Miss Lucy’, She is with two years next week, I cannot believe it. She is such a happy little dog and her boyfriend is Hamish the Scottie and she bosses young Archie about and Charlie runs when the squeaky toys appear
We are thrilled with her. she is so cute and does not miss a trick. She loves sleeping in beds and if the cat is not on the bed Lucy is. We had guests staying in the summer and on the first morning of thier visit Lucy was not in her own little bed and I wondered where she could be when I investigated further she had moved in to the guest room and was asleep in bed with our visitor and she stayed with her every night of the visit
Here are a few pictures of her She is due the dreaded bath and blow dry which she is not a fan but she is delighted when she is sweet smelling again.The three smallies (dogs) go round together and any newspapers, shoes or all get pulled in three directions and shredded.
Lucy is a master at getting food out of people’s bags. When were are on long journeys and make a pitstop, Lucy has the sandwiches out of the bag and eaten in about 5 mins. She should have been a sniffer dog Life would not be the same without our lucy

Hey claire, we were smitten straight away and marie we are saving a fortune with Hamish on solar energy he is better than a windmill Charlie sends his regards, when the squeaky toys come out to play he can be found under the bed or in a wardrobe
In the past I have only ever had one dog but the four together have a great bond and they learn so much from each other. Lucy the diva rules the roost and keeps the boys in line.

Archie ( Saul) has recovered from his neutering and is in fine form. He adores playing ball and playing with teddys that have a good squeak He love playing with Hamish. Lucy and Archie have tugs of war to see who can hold on to the squeaky teddy the longest, lucy is winning at present
He is such a happy little fella and jumps for joy at times. He is so funny and copies the other dogs in all they do. He is fitting in so well, loves his food and he is so excited going on the walkies it is difficult to get the lead on him.
I am attaching two pictures, still not a fan of the camera or iphone now as you can see him looking at it intendly, so I just took two. His coat is coming on a treat, we are working on the eye area but it is taking time for him to get used to grooming but he gets groomed before walkies so he knows he will go after the grooming

Update on Archie( Saul)
Archie got neutered last week and is coming along nicely. He loves to sing (howl) in his spare time and can hold a tune I never had a singing dog before, Hamish does join in sometimes too!
Archie has settled in well and he watches the other dogs and copies what they do. He is a great little fella and everyone loves him, he is so cute and loves his walks, he is full of energy. He has started to play with his toys and loves his furry teddy.
He does not like the camera at all and growls when we take it out. I thought it was the flash and have tried to take a picture during the day and he still growls but he does not mind the iphone so I can take a picture with that!! So we are going to have to have a rethink about his modeling career
Here are some pictures taken by the iphone

Happy Birthday to all the clan, these lucky dogs have landed on thier paws I think a book should be written on the tales or tails of the scottie clan and collie

Thanks Marie . Archie is in fine form. He is getting stronger and can now jump up on the couch himself, the first few days he did not seem to have the energy to get up himself. He has his bag packed and is ready for his hols tomorrow . we were due to go on saturday but my poor mum broke her wrist and needed an operation but she is doing great. The rest of the gang are doing great, Hamish has a new hair do and is so handsome Lucy is delighted with all the male attention and my charlie will love being back in his native kerry .
Tomorrow we are on the road with one mother in a cast, 4 dogs, one cat, myself and John Watch this space for the next installment
