I haven't got a scooby!

Such a nice weekend, weather lovely. Rub n Soph spent this afternoon darting in and out the uncut barley playing hide and seek with a few young pheasants. One flew up right in front of Sophie and I managed to catch her expression.

She looks a bit like Scooby Doo as if to say "how'd I miss that?".

They were both smiling but tired at the end of their chase game.

Silver Sophie!

Yesterday Sophie passed her Kennel Club Good Citizen Dog "Silver". I was very proud of her, she did brilliantly and has come a long way from the bundle of energy we brought home 9mths ago, she is maturing into a beautiful, loving girl. Another jingly tag to wear....

Well done Soph x

and out for a nice walk in the afternoon.....

Bags in the hall = holiday time

We've been away in our caravan again. Here we are after arriving at Rothiemurchus Estate just outside Aviemore. I'm on the left looking bedraggled and Sophie who luvs the car looks fab!

We had a great week, lots of lovely walks and daytrips.

Sophie spotted some ducks in the water and gave chase, she didn't realise that where the large rocks end it is pretty deep so she ended up swimming! I joined her for a while but, it is Scotland, and the water was freezing. Sophie is in the background just coming back to shore.

At the end of the day, it was nice to get back to the caravan for a cosy sleep x

Mission cheer-up Molly

Today the dogs had a mission!! Sadly last week my mum+dad's dog Molly (spaniel) lost her best friend of 11 yrs (Meg, boxer). Molly has been understandably down in the dumps so I took my two over today to have a walk with Molly. She smiled all the way and chased her ball and wagged her tail.......... hope your less sad soon Molly x.
This is Molly begging for someone to kick her ball.

Molly, Sophie & Ruby on their walk.

Mum and Sophie & Ruby and Molly "please kick my ball"

After our walk Sophie & Ruby met "Leo" (brothers cat) for the first time. He wasn't bothered at all as you can see!

Chulaks meet Chulak

Tonight Ruby and Sophie met another viz from the Chulak kennels. Another Ruby (Chulak Made You Look), she's a stunner! Sophie enjoyed her sniff and run about with 'little Ruby' who at a year old was actually bigger than Sophie who'se almost 2yrs. Here they are sitting nicely for a treat from little Ruby's mum.

Here's one of the two Ruby's. Little Ruby 'guarding' her mum from big Ruby. Ruby being nearly 6, was a little big grumpy at times tonight with little Ruby, she's quite protective of her little sister soph, either that or she thought her mum and dad were bringing another one home :-)

It was really nice to meet you all.

Sophie takes the bronze!

Since we got Sophie I hoped to keep up with her dog training and I managed to find a local class. She's done really well and i'm pleased to announce that Sophie got her 'bronze' kennel club certificate today. We'll be doing silver and hopefully gold once the classes start again.

WELL DONE SOPH, you did it xx

Forth Road Bridge Walk

On Saturday Ruby & Sophie took part in a 6mile sponsored walk to raise funds for their 'brothers' football team [Inverkeithing Hillfield Swifts]. They did really well and on the way back over the Forth Road Bridge we stopped to take their photo. The weather was lovely. They certainly slept well that night :-)
