Hamish, your Scottish brethren Mac and Bonnie are most impressed with your volunteer work, congrats! And of course the residents love you…you’re a Scottie!
What a beauty you are Fraizer! I do hope the bottles of Bud there aren’t yours though…you wouldn’t want to be making smelling pistakes whilst typing!
Evan, I’m in heaven, and my heart beats so that I can hardly speak…!
Great news!! Very best of luck to you and your new family. Keep us posted on your new life!Well, did you miss us?
Sorry it’s been so long since our last news but we’ve been very busy. We decided that the bed wrecking had become so last season, so haven’t eaten any more…well, for now anyway! Sorry to disappoint our loyal fans! We’ve heard murmurs that we’ve “calmed down”….hah, just wait…! We’ve been having a great time settling into our new holiday house in Donegal. Our parents had a hard job to find a house with the number “two” but we told them as we are twins, this is most important! We even got our own sign made to match (see pic). The garden in our country retreat is much bigger, so we have great fun chasing footballs up and down the slope.
We were wondering if we could get a couple of sheep…purely for Keeley…errr, to help her sleep. Bonnie has been a great help to her Daddy making up flat-pack furniture…mostly running away with the wooden dowels, or eating the sandpaper…LOVES sandpaper! She says she is underfed, starved and the weighing scales lie! Bonnie also discovered the packaging made a handy make-shift bed (see pic)! Mac has discovered that the kitchen table has chairs and apparently it’s rude not to sit at the table. He has become quite agile indeed, ensuring a race at meal times to get a seat!
Bonnie is delighted that the warmer weather has finally arrived, as this means the bees and butterflies have the (mis)fortune of landing in the back garden…necessitating a number of rescues so far!
It was decided not to post photos of the garden, as the Scotties felt they would be blamed entirely for the winter elements – the “landscaping” continues in earnest… Mac and Bonnie xxx
IMG_2563a.JPG(Oops, photos in reverse – see last post!
)During the snow, we had a bit of a job to get down the garden, so our pack thoughtfully put a plank to connect the path and buried lawn. Bonnie now thinks this is a permanent feature and insists on walking the plank every time!
Sometimes she just sits there in contemplation (see pic).The improvements to our beds still continue (see pic – that was Keeleys!)! It’s a tough job but someone has to do it! We have a new bed arriving next week, which we can’t wait to get our teeth into…literally!
A big thanks to Marie/Twist (patron of the Bed Wreckers Foundation) for the very kind donation of a large bed, which we look forward to using (or abusing?!) in our holiday abode.Bonnie and Keeley are still enjoying their wrestling matches and provide great entertainment for the spectators – except Mac who thinks it’s all a bit silly.
Coming soon…”Tales of a devastated garden – the before and after photos”!!!

IMG_2543a.JPGIMG_2544a.JPGIMG_2517a.JPGHi! We’ve had a busy winter and have just about re-trained the family the way we want them! They are quite stubborn we have found.
As the family is now a bit extended (Mac wonders are we talking about Bonnie’s weight again?!), our parents had to buy us a holiday house – they say we are worth it!
Our new retreat is in Donegal and we had our first visit there this week. We reckon the sun room will be our bedroom, as it has low windows, a big patio door and a glass panelled door through to the kitchen, so we can see what is going on! We will post some pics of us settling in later on in the spring.Collectively, we are now known as “Scooties” for short (and we answer to it too!) and as Keeley thinks she is one of our kind, she is known as the “Wannabe Scootie”. She copies us at everything and often acts as a most useful scapegoat. Other nicknames we have acquired…Minnie Mouse (Bonnie – pokey mouse nose and
exceedingly nosey!); Macho and Mac-Attack (Mac – likes to playfully bite); and Keeley Weeley (has a fond affection for watering the hall carpet! ).Continued…
IMG_2533a.JPGIMG_2513a.JPGIMG_2539a.JPGPoor Lucy! Mac and Bonnie send get well wishes. Scotties make excellent nurses, so she is is in good paws! Tell Lucy to to snuggle up to Charlie and Hamish.
Congratulations Peaches! May you (and those fabulous ears!
) be very happy with you new forever family. Hi! We would like to congratulate our former fosterers, Arlene and John, on the recent birth of their daughter Zoe! Great news!
Mac is very good with babies and has a particular admiration for their wonderful toy collections! Bonnie and Keeley have been perfecting their "remodelling" of the bannisters, so the beavered part has now been capped with aluminium tubing (yes, very trendy!)…so far so good!
Mac is doing his utmost to disguise himself in his Daddy’s gym bag (see pic)…he reckons he needs a sauna to de-stress.
Meanwhile, Bonnie removed the green shampoo bottle and tried to eat it – well it does have fruit extracts and she does like apples!! Bonnie and Keeley have taken to playful wrestling – they may yet turn pro! The landing is their favourite place and Mac acts as ringside referee.
Mac reckons Bonnie should be in the heavyweight category but she is less than amused! (Madame has been on a diet and has lost half a kilo in the last month; she says she is wasting away!).Wishing everyone a very happy Christmas…and remember, Santa ONLY visits the naughty doggies…we hope!

PS Hamish, please keep up the rug making…we reckon you are on to a real winner there!

They are looking great and obviously enjoying the new experience.
Great news!! Very best of luck to you and your new family. Keep us posted on your new life!
