F is for Funny

     So, if you don't know by now, I have two Scottish Terriers.  They will be two years old in May.  So they are still very young.  They did not come from the same litter, but they've been together since they were 8 weeks old.  So, they are sisters.

     Our youngest one, Livvy (she's younger by 8 days), has a tendency to act like the bratty little sister.  And, she is very attached to me.  Probably because when we brought her home from Wisconsin (a 9 hour drive home) I held her almost the whole time up against my chest.  She would not ride in my lap and would only last a short time laying next to Izzy.  She wanted to be held.

     Most of the time, the fact that she's so attached to me is not really a problem.  Until someone else wants my attention.

     I was laying on the loveseat the other day, curled up under the afghan.  Both dogs were on the floor next to me.  I noticed Livvy staring Izzy down.  Then, all of a sudden Izzy tried to jump up next to me, but Livvy jumped faster and took the spot Izzy was trying to jump into.  Then, she turned and looked down at Izzy again and stared at her until she laid down on the floor.

Now That's a Big One

     This weekend is our annual Tartan Days Festival down on our riverfront.  There are booths selling Scottish/Irish wares, food booths, drink, music, and Scottish sporting events.

We always walk in the parade with St. Louis Scottish Terrier Rescue.  Our kids carry the banner for them and both our Scotties walk with all the other Scotties behind the banner.

     This morning the weather was amazing for a parade.  There were tons of Scotties that showed up. There was also a huge group of Shelties that showed up and walked the parade, too.  It's always so much fun to see people with their dogs at this parade.

     After the parade we stand around and talk with the other Scottie people for a while and then head back to the parking lot at the south end of the park.  We usually stop and watch some of the big burly Scottish men participating in their sporting events.  These all include trying to throw something that is really heavy.  Today we got to see some of the log throwing and this is one of the pictures I got.

I think that's the biggest one I've ever seen!

Morning Routine

     It's a few minutes before 5:00 a.m. in the morning.  I did not set my alarm clock, but yet I'm getting up no matter if it is a weekday or weekend.  I have one Scottie groaning in my ear and another one nudging my lips with her nose.  "We're hungry, NOW!  Time to feed us!"

The little leader

     Without really seeing anything I manage to put on my robe and take my short legged fur friends down off the bed.  One of them leads the way down the hall, tail wagging.  The other is behind me poking me in the calf to hurry me along.

     The calf poker gets her food first because otherwise she'll stick her nose in her sister's bowl.  The leader is patient and waits for her food to be shoveled into her bowl.  Then, the crunching starts.  I try to go lay down on the couch until they are finished, but little leader comes in and stares at me until I come back in the kitchen with them.  Then, she will finish her food.

The calf poker

     Once the chomping is done, it's time to go outside.  This is my chance to relieve myself, too.  By the time I get back to the kitchen, the two furry demanding goddesses are ready to come back in and now they want attention.  I can try to lay back down, if it's a weekend, but Miss Moaner will stand and stare at me and keep talking until I give in and either give her a belly rub or play with her.

Orneriness x2

     I really just want some more rest.  These two are wonderful alarm clocks except that they did not come equipped with snooze buttons.
