Camera Critters....A New Aunt

So you may have read recently that Rosie's new boyfriend Petey has whisked her off to Bermuda for the weekend. A few of our friends expressed their concerns as Rosie is very young to be jet-setting around the world with an older man. These older, wiser dawgs include Stella, Nala, Kira, Zim, River, Marvin and Bailey, thanks for your concern for Rosie but we think (paws crossed) that she will behave like a lady and Petey will be the perfect gentleman.
However....Bailey has insisted on chaperoning Rosie and has joined the lovely couple on their trip to make sure there's no funny business. (Petey has a plan though!) Here is a picture of our newly adopted Aunt....after following her blog for some time now we have nick-named her
Wise(ish) Aunt Bailey....she and Rosie would make a great team snoofing around for wabbits etc and NOT coming back to their leads when they're told....I do hope they don't catch a scent and leave poor Petey stranded by the pool!

She lives here in Scotland with another Basset girl named Martha and if you haven't visited their blog before you should definitely check it out.....these girlies are funny!

***************************************

On a completely different subject....I was reading Honey the Great Dane's blog yesterday and she did a lovely post about a really great cause, i'll just link to Honey's post because she explains it so much better than me! There's a pet photo contest involved....lots more Camera Critters!....and with all the contests that have been on the blogs lately we know there are plenty of lovely photos out there! It's free to enter and you'll be helping towards Int'l Spay Day 2009.

Make sure you visit to make a difference....and have a lovely weekend!

Skywatch Friday and Rosie Packs Her Bag

If you're here for SkyWatch Friday, scroll down....

First, we have some busy work to attend to....

Rosie is very excited....today she goes on her first date with Petey....he's whisking her off to Bermuda! Come on Rosie, it's time to dust off the Diors and get your bag packed!

"Just a few essentials....some factor 15, hairbrush, toothpaste, shades, a (ahem, rather large) bikini....well, I can always go au naturale....and Alfie's froggy toy (he won't miss it, I love it way more than he does!) Sorry it's not a tennis ball Petey, i've skinned all those....it's a work in progress, he's a tough frog to skin, maybe you can help me :o)

Right, i'm all set Petey-boy...so what's the dealio....when's our flight?"
Meanwhile....
....Gabbi is so jealous....
....Alfie is sulking....
....and Snoop couldn't care less....was that the fridge opening??
Bye Rosie-Posie, bye Petey, take care, see you when you get back!
**********************************************************
I never thought i'd see the day....but I have taken NO sky photos this week, not one! These were taken at Roseisle back in December, my pre-SWF days, but i've always taken sky shots and these are some of my favourites.

The plane is an RAF Kinloss Nimrod....or is it an AireRuby jet on it's way to pick Rosie up for her hot date?

Breaking News....True Love or Clash of the Tartans?

We don't usually post more than once a day but we have a scoop here!

Rumours are rife on the sleb dog circuit that Rosie may have found true love. After seeing her on the cover of Vogue magazine, eligible New York bachelor Petey the Cairn Terrier has been wooing our girl with a barrage of saucy comments. Petey of the Grant clan, who celebrates his Birthday today has even declared his feelings for the whole world to read on his blog!


Petey has been romantically linked to several high profile ladies, most recently a Lakeland Terrier named Lacie, he was seen cavorting with her in Paris as recently as last week. Lacie has a bit of a reputation as a bad-ass and Rosie went into hiding when she heard this, especially after encountering her in the Hound ring when she judged at MangoMinster! Apparently Lacie caused havoc behind the scenes too, hissy fits and shrieking were a regularity in her luxury trailer, she even caused the entire show to run a day late! Read about that here.

Rosie was having mixed thoughts about romancing this little Cairn with his womanising ways and colourful past, she has however come round to the idea and has spent the last couple of days trying to negotiate several magazine deals.....OK-9 magazine and Canine Bride Monthly have both been mentioned, she also plans to visit nearby Pluscarden Abbey in the next couple of weeks, we have inside information that Petey has a special connection with the Abbey....his grandmother was born in the Priory Lodge there some 85 years ago, however, reports of an imminent engagement are unconfirmed and Rosie is not yet sporting a diamond encrusted collar. Reports ARE coming in that Petey has been fitted for a new kilt and there has been wailing in the West Village as he had his first bagpipe lesson. Can the Grant clan merge with the Stewart clan? It looks as though Petey has shown some commitment....he's already donning some Royal Stewart tartan and he has started to cultivate some thistles, which are the Stewart badge....but only time will tell!


Though Petey is being fairly open about all this, even putting photos of thinly disguised Rosie on his blog, others are not so forthcoming....Petey's friend, London-based Eric, who double-dated with Petey and Lacie in Paris, was unavailable for comment......Lacie is not answering her phone and our sources tell us that loud sobbing with the occasional shriek is all that can be heard from her apartment! The paps are out in force....oh, the scandal!
As for us lot......


....Snoop remains blissfully unaware of everything apart from the opening and closing of the fridge door....

....Alfie is keeping his ears open and his mouth shut....


....if anyone's going to let her tongue waggle, it's Gabbi....

....but for now....only the Rose knows.

**********************

Happy Birthday Petey!

Working with the Snuggle Puggle and Too Much Cuteness

Today is our day for working with Eduardo...but we don't really have a post ready...oops!

Our secretary has been busy, nothing much has happened around here today and it was rainy outside and no good for photos....we are just going to post a link to a post Eduardo did on Friday about a cool site which raises funds for Guide puppies in USA. It's over to you Boss!
And since we don't have any new photos to post....here's a collage of some of Rosie & Gabbi's puppy pics.....just to make you feel better :o)

Mono Maniacs and Friends

Wanna play? Pop over to Aileni's blog to join in the Mono fun!

We went to the Muiry and met lots of dogs....there were actually three Labs, a Dalmatian and a Spaniel here but I hardly got a decent shot as they were all zooming!

Then we went to the big field for some more Hot Laps (it's what Nala calls the zoomies)...

....and some mole huntin and stick chewin! We met our buddy Chester on the park, he's an English Pointer and luurves Gabbi! We were joined by a little Border Terrier and a Westie, it was FUN!

Sunday Scenery and Weekly Winners

I have decided to play a new meme, for this week at least. A few months ago I stumbled upon a lovely blog called Frogpondsrock written by a lady called Kim, with beautiful photos and a Weekly Winners post....I always thought i'd quite like to play and this week's photos have given me that kick up the bum, Kim also encouraged me! It means we now have two memes on a Sunday, so i'll see how it goes, but I quite like the idea of this one, it's not a photography competition, you just post your favourite photos from the past week (Sun-Sat). I like the host's blog too, clicking on the button should take you there :o) (due to the time difference the link won't be up until about 7am (GMT))




I know this photo was only posted yesterday but we had such alot of lovely comments about it :o)

This weeks' shots are from Findhorn Bay, Kinloss Abbey, Grant Park and Roseisle Beach.
