You called? Well, okay, here we are! You have our attention, so how about you move toward that treat jar and make us three happy Scotties!

Today’s throwback Thursday photo goes way back—two months short of ten years in fact when I was just a pup. Wen had bought a puppy-sized Denver Broncos jersey for me and I was wearing it for the first time when she took my picture. Wow, was I ever little! How did ten years go by so quickly?! And isn’t it a good thing that I grew into my tall ears?!

Yes, it’s that time of year when the lilacs bloom in our back yard and not only do they look pretty but they smell good! Wen planted one lilac bush years ago and she planted a smaller one on each side of it a few years later and each spring in May we wait for the bushes to begin to bloom.

This year, they are a little late, but the lilacs are just as pretty and as fragrant as ever!

Happy Birthday to me, Riley!!! Today I am 10 years old and since both my sisters’ birthdays are close, we decided to have one big celebration for the three of us. Sadie was 8 on May 27th and Molly will be 10 on June 26th, so we chose my birthday to be a special day for all three of us.

Bring on the treats and presents! Happy Birthday to all three of us!!!

Good golly, good morning, Molly! Even after you’ve been rooting around in the yard, acting like a terrier you are still a pretty girl!

A big THANK YOU to everyone who supported me in the Colorado’s Next Top Pet Model calendar contest!!! Your donations secured me a month page in the 2024 calendar and the 64 entries raised over $23,000 for Colorado pets in need! Thank you, thank you, thank you! Job well done!!!

So Colorado’s Next Top Pet Model calendar photo contest benefiting Colorado Pet Oantry ends at 8 PM mountain time today! So far, thanks to the kind people who have donated for Riley, he has raised enough money to give 359 dogs and cats a 30-day supply of pet food, but I just heard that the donations for a photo in next year’s calendar gets really crazy right before the contest ends. For every $20 donated, entrants receive 30 votes and we’re really trying hard to help needy pets and have Riley win a calendar photo page. The contest website is: coloradopetpantry.org and it is a 501(c)(3) non-profit. A huge THANK YOU to Riley’s supporters in his quest to be featured in the calendar!!! We really appreciate you!!!

On Memorial Day we honor those who gave the ultimate sacrifice to keep us safe.

My sisters and I may not be related by blood, but we have definitely become a close family of three Scotties over the years. It certainly helped to have our older sister, Sunny watching over us as we were puppies and for years when we were grown and after we lost her to cancer, Molly, Sadie, and I became even closer.

I’ve never had a brother—only sisters and we may be competitive when it comes to treats, but I have to say that I consider each one of them my ride or die!

Yesterday was grooming day and when we got back home, we Scotties patrolled the backyard. While we were out there cruising around, the skies began to darken, you could hear thunder off in the distance, and the wind kicked up. As a matter of fact, our beards were blowin’ in the wind and since the weather looked threatening, Wen herded us back inside. No use in risking ruining our freshly groomed haircoats!
