Can you spot Jackson here? At times, he likes to sit up straight and kid on he really is a hunting dog.




He sits tall. Elegant. Regal, even.
 And he looks at me as if to say, 
'Do you know who my people are?'

But behind all that regality and elegence and kid-on professionalism, there lies a garden full of...


 ... and this


Yep, plenty more where they came from.

Yes, you.... I'm talking about you.
 You gorgeous,
 adorable,
 cute,
 playful
 little honey.
 Even if we do have a garden full of those.

(You do understand that I use the word 'garden' in the loosest possible sense of the word. Ahem)

And it's all worthwhile.

  5. I've enjoyed living vicariously through you and some other friends who have acquired puppies within the past few months. I'm not ready for that--not until my boys are much older and are willing and able to assume a whole lot more responsibility than they do now. But it sure is fun to see your pictures!

    Jackson is adorable! :)

  9. Anne, you are getting soft :-) I was waiting for the last adjective to be "naughty", not cute!

    Laughed at your comments "do you know who my people are?" - that is such a Scottish Presbyterian question - "who are your people?"
    Love

  13. LOL Your "darling honey pup" reminds me of my two "darling" 9mo. old puppies . . . yes, they LOVE to dig, tear, disperse, and otherwise litter our entire backyard with everything they can get their jaws and paws on! And they aren't even a retriever breed! haha But we love them anyway! Your dog sure is cute! -- Rachel

  14. My hubby and I both have Slogger shoes. You know, garden or farm shoes ~ rubber, washable. And our golden pup loves to move them. Only she moves them from the front door to the back door or the back door to the front door or sometimes just moves one. I think she does it just to mess with us.

  15. @Davene Grace.... I would definitely recommend a puppy/dog for a family with older kids. We can see that Jackson doesn't take the Wee Guy seriously at all - he's just another 'playful puppy' to him! And unless the kids are older, they all tell the dog different things, let him off with different things... training would be a nightmare!

    @Henrietta - that really made me laugh! Growing up here, the question you're asked was always, 'Cò leis thu?'... (Who do you belong to?) Of course, in our culture you knew who you belonged to down to a few generations back, and outwards, you tended to know your relations too. That conversation could end up lasting all day! (A person could be, Màiri, nighean Thormoid Alastair, bràthair Iain beag a tha pòsta aig Catriona Uilleam Alastair 'an Chailein!) ...
