Magnus May 20th

Ewen has gone golfing.  I knew, as soon as his wee case came out, that he was off somewhere.  Then the golf bag appeared. I like golf courses.  I can't think why he didn't take me.  I could bring back those little, white, dimpled balls he loses!!

Mirren May 20th

I don't know what he is worried about.  Ewen is only away one night.  Pam has her case packed for at least a week.  What will I do?  She always makes sure I get my cuddle ration and the little treats she slips me. Think I might have to take to my basket!

Magnus May 16th

I don't know if it's old age or the heat or the fact Ewen walks us really early to avoid the heat but I want to go to my bed right after dinner.  You would think the parents would have picked up on this by now.  I stare straight at them (one of the benefits of being a Wolfhound is that you really can stare them straight in the face when they sit down!), I paw them severely, I chat, I try and show them and eventually one of them will say, "Oh, he wants his bed out."  Now, I mean my night bed.  In the nice cool bedroom.  Where I can stretch out and let Bitch Face have my day bed at the front window.  Peace.  Bliss.


Mirren May 16th

It appears that the parents have been too busy to do our blog.  I don't know.  Once they get side-tracked they loose all sense of responsibility.  Too busy painting fences and doing the garden.  Pam says it's because the weather has been reasonable and stuff has been needing done for years but it always just rains.  I agree about the rain thing.  It's been nice sunbathing weather.  The fan is on in the house.  Magnus can't cope with the heat!!

Magnus and Mirren April 27th

Been lots of long walks recently.  Both knackered.  Decided we quite like each other.  Got snuggled up and spooned.

Magnus 16th April

Well, that's Easter over and, apart from yesterday, the weather's been rubbish.  Had lovely walks though.  I do love the walk from Redpath to Leaderfoot.  I get to play in the river with Ewen.  It's great fun.

Mirren 16th April

And we met of lovely people yesterday at Redpath.  And their dogs- Harry, Fern and a footballing collie called Eric.  Harry looked like me.  I seem to like dogs called Harry?


We have to say farewell to one of our friends, Blue.  Blue was a Bearnese, who lived in Spain with Ollie and Ray.  He hadn't been well for a while but lived to the ripe old age of 10.  Say hello to the troops for us Blue!

Fingask Castle


Magnus April 3rd

Went for a wee visit to Fingask Castle.  Lovely place.  Had a wee wander round.  Horrible journey home, it rained so much.  Mirren was, as usual, just wanting to get back in the car or in the house.  I don't know?

 









































Mirren 3rd April

He wanted to explore the gardens. I wanted to explore the castle!  There was a bunch of ladies in there getting ready for a wedding and I felt I'd have more fun with them!

Magnus 31st March/1st April

Well, this is all getting a bit ridiculous.  We had Spring a few days ago and now it's winter again.  More snowflakes .  I think I prefer just getting cuddled up on my furry bed and keeping warm.  My coat isn't as thick as it used to be since I wasn't well, and I feel the cold.  When it got a wee bit warmer we did have some really long walks.  I like revisiting walks and sniffing out who's been there.  Bitch face is making a big song and dance about tomorrow.  Should I tell her it's April Fool's Day??

Haha! Didn't go to Abbotsford.  We went to Mellerstain instead and had a lovely walk round the lake.  Bit scared of the swans but they left us alone so it was fine.



Mirren 31st March/1st April
I'm so excited.  Abbotsford are having an open day tomorrow for pets to visit.  Pam says I really must go because I'm a Deerhound and Walter Scott LOVED his Deerhounds.  I'm getting brushed and beautified so I look my best.  People might want to take my picture.  Maybe I'll get my picture in the papers and be famous.  I'd give my pawtograph to people.  Ooooooo can't wait.  Hope it stays dry.  I don't want my hair to curl or matt.















It doesn't matter.  Pam said there was a children's Easter Egg Hunt at Abbotsford.  I didn't want involved in that!  Chocolate is bad for dogs.  I'm sure Big Boy would have got himself involved and made himself ill.  Anyway, Mellerstain was beautiful too and I felt totally at home.

Magnus 18th March

Well, just when we thought it was safe to go out, it snows again.  Last week we went for a long walk on Mother's Day and we were wandering in the snow drops.  This week they are covered with snow again.  Oh well, never mind.  Been feeling the cold so I've been lying on the couch near the fire and Pam has started combing me.  She has also been grooming Mirren when she gets cuddled down.  Mir seems to like it though.  One side of me is very brushed.  The other side....not so much.
Oh! Just remembered.  Happy St Patrick's Day, from an Irish Wolfhound.  Forgot to post yesterday.  I was too buy busy watching my chaps win the Six Nations at rugby!!







Mirren 18th March

Pam was very pleased with her Mother's day card and gifts.  She does seem to be very fond of chocolate.  And she does seem to be on a grooming campaign for Big Boy and myself.  She should have a look at herself sometimes!
Anyway, it's been a tricky weekend.  Three Scots and an Irish in the one house.  Big Boy just doesn't let up when it's St Patrick's Day.  "The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge met one of my family yesterday with the Irish Guards. The Irish won the rugby.  (the Scots did okay too) Don't the Irish celebrate well.  Isn't Irish dancing just amazing.  Aren't the Irish so musical."  I think I might slip him some ice cream and watch him go green!! Very Irish.  His lactose intolerance might be useful.
My beautiful friend has just turned one.  He is so handsome.  Pam says I'm too old for him and too old for twerking.  On second thoughts.... his name is Murphy!!!!!???? Do the Irish get everywhere?

 My Murphy...handsome chap isn't he.
