It’s been raining non-stop for two days and we Scotties have been getting soaked each time that we’ve gone outside.  We’re not used to this dreary weather and coming in from outside as soggy dogs over and over.  We’re ready for some sunshine!

Today is Cinco de Mayo and there has been a lot of celebrating over the weekend here in Denver.  We Scotties like to participate in any festivities too, so today we are celebrating Mexican culture and heritage.  Happy Cinco de Mayo!

Tonight is Game 7 of the Colorado Avalanche/Dallas Stars series and it’s crunch time!  The winner of tonight’s game goes on to the second round of the Stanley Cup playoffs so it’s a must win for the Avs.

All of our Avs memorabilia is on display right now and Wen will be glued to the TV for tonight’s game.  It will definitely be an intense hard fought game and we’ll be rooting for our favorite hockey team.  Let’s Go Avs!!!  Go Avs Go!!!

Well, this is it, Game 6 of the Colorado Avalanche/Dallas Stars series is only a few hours away and it’s a must win for the Avs, since they are down a game in the series.  With a win, they force a Game 7, but if they lose, they are out, so it’s all on the line for us Avs fans.  Let’s Go Avs!  Go Avs Go!

The other day, Wen clicked on an email from Up Country, the company whose photo contest I won and did some modeling for their catalog.  Their dog products (leashes, collars, coats, etc.) are really high quality and of course, pricey.  As she scrolled through their dog coats (normally $42), she came across a Royal Stewart tartan plaid coat with a faux fur collar, perfect for a Scottie, and it was on sale for seven dollars!  What?????  They had a size that would fit me in stock, so she ordered one, knowing that it was an unbelievable bargain!

The coat arrived in a few days and it was super nice, especially for seven bucks.  I’ll be getting some good use out of it and I’ll be stylin’ wearing my fancy bargain coat!

 

One of us Scotties has an intense stare and when she’s looking at you, you know it!  Yes, Molly seems to have a penetrating gaze that makes you wonder what she’s thinking.  Is she mulling something over?  Is she contemplating her next move?  Is she forming an opinion of you, judging you, or just observing you with her keen eyes?

It’s too bad that we Scotties can’t talk because it would be very revealing to know exactly what Molly’s thinking when she is staring directly at you.  Maybe though, some things are better left unknown!

One of my sisters has the opposite of a typical reserved and aloof Scottish Terrier personality and I’m not talking about Molly.  It’s Sadie and she is a silly, goofy, super friendly girl who loves all people and dogs.

It’s unusual for a Scottie to be so outgoing and entertaining, but Sadie is a little free spirit who seems to immediately charm everyone she meets.  Wen calls her “free entertainment” when Sadie rolls around on her back on the floor or the couch making funny growly noises with her feet up in the air and she does it at least once every day, so we are amused by her antics daily.

I guess it’s nice to have a contrasting personality among us since I am so serious and Molly is quite reserved.  There’s never a dull moment around here with silly Sadie to keep us entertained!

 

Our favorite hockey team, the Colorado Avalanche, is playing in the first round of the Stanley Cup playoffs tonight and the series is tied, so we will be glued to the TV, rooting them on.

The Stanley Cup playoffs are like a whole new season with the level of play really ramped up, so the hockey games are incredibly intense and exciting, which means that there can be yelling and screaming involved.  This can be a little disconcerting for us Scotties, but as long as we realize that the yelling and screaming isn’t directed at us, it’s all good.

Let’s hope for a big win tonight, as the Avs will be playing their first game of the series on home ice and there’s a chance that the team captain will play with the team after being on injured reserve since 2022.  Go Avs Go!!!

 

Easter’s over for another year, but Molly is still wearing her light up Peeps necklace.  I guess she is all about those accessories!

We hope you had a nice Easter and you enjoyed the special day!

Well, we went from warm weather two days ago to four inches of snow in the last 24 hours.  The sun is back out, but Wen just cleared most of the snow off the deck and the trees look like winter wonderland again.  Only a week ago when we went to the Tartan Day Festival in Longmont, it was 85 degrees, so we’ve had typical Colorado crazy spring weather.  One day, people are wearing shorts and the next day, it’s down jackets.

As for now, we Scotties can have fun digging in the snow until it warms up again.
