We’re having a heat wave and we Scotties spend most of our time in the backyard in the early mornings and in the evenings.  We lounge around in our house during the day and take advantage of the cool hardwood and tile floors, where we like to stretch out for our naps during the summer.

We also enjoy the nice breezes from the ceiling fans and crunching on crushed ice is one of our favorite treats on hot summer days.  There’s nothing like a drink of cool water or a mouth full of crushed ice to hit the spot!

Needless to say, unless we’re going to see Gigi, our groomer, car rides are out of the question on hot summer days.  Yep, we’re pretty much couch potatoes during a heat wave, but rattle that treat jar and we’re instantly on the move!

 

Hello!  Good morning!  It’s me, your favorite boy!  How about I come up on the couch and hang out with you?   Pretty please???

Is it time for bed already?  Okay, it’s the end of another day.

 

Nothing sneaks by us Scotties!  Whatever’s going on, our noses are pointed in that direction and there are very few things that happen that we’re not interested in.  Even when we’re napping, our eyes will pop open at any sound, so remember this:  at our house, six brown Scottie eyes are watching you!

It’s me, Riley, your favorite Scottie boy!  Okay, I’m your ONLY Scottie boy, but I’m still your favorite!  I just wanted to say “Good Morning” and get some special attention time like I do every morning, so here I am.  Can I interest you in scratching my back?

It seems that we have a black shadow in our house who likes to sneak by just as Wen takes a photo.  This black shadow photobomber is usually caught on the run in the background of a photo and when she (Sadie, the photobomber) is on the move, she looks like a fuzzy black Scottie-shaped blob in photos.  Too bad she doesn’t stop and give a big smile.  Now that would be an awesome photo!

On a trip to the dollar store, Wen found some summer sunglasses that she thought would make some great photos with us Scotties wearing them.  What do you think?  Crazy, huh?

Happy 4th of July, everybody!  We hope you have a safe and fun Independence Day celebration!

Our Scottie vocabulary is not super extensive, but when we hear certain words, they are guaranteed to make our ears perk up.  One of our favorite words is “treat,” because we know to expect a tasty morsel when we hear that word.  If you ever want to get our attention, just mention the word “treat” and we will come running!

 

It has been a very exciting time at our house!  We are huge Colorado Avalanche fans and we have watched the Avs battle through three rounds of Stanley Cup playoffs.

Last night was the most stressful and thrilling game of all and when the last seconds ticked off, the Avs were the 2022 Stanley Cup Champions!  After their last win, 21 years ago, the Avs are finally bringing the Stanley Cup back to Denver.

It was a hard fought series against the two-time champion Tampa Bay Lightning, but the Avs prevailed and the chants of “We want the Cup!!!” turned into “We won the Cup!!!”
