Hamish, Mac and Bonnie are most impressed!
They asked if you had to blend in with the ponies…?
giddy-up.jpgQuestion: how many months have a Scottie (or two) in them? Answer: exactly 48. Confused? Well, it’s FOUR years today (Aug. 17th) since we took over this household and made it our own! Admittedly, it has been hard work on our parts, as the slaves are quite stubborn to see the errors in their ways.
We celebrated our unofficial birthday with some smoked mackerel and cappuccino cake; not mixed, you understand. The years have flown really and we split our time now between our holiday house in Donegal (bought just for us to destress…or is that distress?!). It’s not easy keeping the moo-cows and baa-sheep in their place but we do our best.
We also like the beaches and retrieving our floating lighthouse from the sea (Bonnie is the bravest when it comes to paddling…snorkeling included!). Mac prefers to go rock exploring and blending in with the seaweed – only the collar is a giveaway, so good job it’s not a nudey beach! Last summer we entered a local dog show and came first in our grouping and second overall in the show (winner obviously bribed the judges) – see pics. We still like to “help out” in the garden and only a few days ago, we were helping to dig up the spuds and Bonnie offered her services to eat the compost that was being dug back in. There is just something so tasty about homemade compost, don’t you find? Mac likes to guard the bags of manure and finds they give him an elevated view of his garden.
We did have some excitement back in May when Daddy was taking us for our morning walk – went out with two Scotties and came home with three!
Young Douglas (just over a year old) was up visiting from Carlow and had escaped out of his Granddad’s garden…three of us did look nice! His worried Dad was so pleased to get him back safe and sound and we said he was welcome anytime – two-a-side for the football team is much better!Bonnie now looks slimmer than she ever did (Mac says do you mean dimmer?) and the thyroid condition is under control. We both enjoy our daily game of football, much to the amusement of passers by (the aim is to strip the ball of all the covering, whilst the slaves follow picking up all the pieces). The slaves got us one of those huge gym balls earlier in the year and that is great fun…the plan is to burst it but we’re still working on that!

(PS having an issue uploading photos, so paws crossed they will follow shortly).
What a beauty! She scrubs up well.
You’re doing wonders with her there and in such a short space of time too. Will be following Jill closely. Her story is so very like my own collie’s background and nature.Well Zip, you look SO happy after your groom! you appear to have turned into a very chilled out boy altogether!
