SkyWOW Friday!
We are not back....we still have unresolved pc issues and this post took me hours to do yesterday at the library, today I can't see any of the pics but I know they're there so i'll just publish and hope for the best! I have lots more pics to post, both for SkyWatch and of the dogs but this pc is not letting me add them, grumble grumble.
Welcome to SkyWOW Friday! We have renamed the meme for this week as on Wednesday we had some very special visitors....
Here are the best pics Mum managed to get of them....
...haha, not really but there were lots like this. Of course we stayed indoors and barked our heads off and tried to pull the blinds down, mostly because all our humans and lots of others were standing OUTSIDE our house looking at the sky. It was very noisy and we kept seeing funny coloured clouds and things whizzing past the window which made us howl (especially Gabbi who is our self-elected spokesdog!)
This event was to commemorate the 70th anniversary of RAF Kinloss. There were parades over at the park but we missed them, we were waiting for our Nanny and human sis to arrive. There were pipe bands (sorry Jeannie, we missed the kilts!) and during the Salute ceremony a Nimrod MR2 and an MR4A flew over, we see these almost every day on our walks but this time it was fast and low and VERY loud!
And then....have you guessed yet?
Hello boys!
It's the Red Arrows!! Wow, how cool! And they did a stunning 30 minute long display right over our house, you can see our chimney in some of the photos!!
This is our house!
This display was to thank the local community for it's support over the last 70 years. Towards the end of the sequence they drew a loveheart in the sky with an arrow through it, it was breathtaking.....a fitting tribute perhaps to our recently departed friend Dakota....maybe the King of Pop met her at the bridge and now they're all busy boogying on down....let's hope so! Mason had a lovely idea....a howling salute to Dakota, post yourself howling to the skies (or barking if you're not a howler) on Sunday 28th in memory of our beautiful friend.
The heart could also have something to do with all the romance at Dughallmor at the moment....yesterday was Rosie's 2nd birthday....Happy Birthday our beautiful girl! Petey arranged a surprise for her....he came over with Gabbi's beau Jakey (it's her 2nd birthday on 3rd July). They brought with them some dear friends....Asta, Eric, Clive, Hamish, Marvin, our dear Basset Aunts Bailey & Martha, Mason Dixie and Kira, it was a lovely surprise and we all had a big party! Head over to Petey's blog for pictures, including their hilarious antics on their long journey to the Highlands. Thanks Petey for making it the best birthday ever and for being such a loving husband!
Here are some videos of the display....
Bye guys! We loved watching you, you were awesome....come back soon!

Thank you....
....for all your sweet comments both here and on Petey's blog. Of course, we are very disappointed but so glad that Rosie is fine (she really is!). These puppies were just not meant to be.....there will be other chances. We know that all of you were so excited for us and coming here and reading your kind words really feels like a massive hug, so thank you. We're sorry we can't visit you all and thank you properly.....timing's crap around here....or as Jane pointed out, a blessing in disguise....thanks Jane, for everything....especially the very funny post on your blog this morning, it was a lovely surprise and made me smile....those boys are such a hoot!
We are still having pc issues so have not managed to read anything until this morning when the library opened (the weekend was LONG!)
See you soon....

Great Timing!
We are having some issues....well, our PC is having issues. I am sitting in the library at the moment typing this....it couldn't have come at a worse time!
I am going to try and get here daily to check emails and take a sneaky peek at some blogs (I am inviting puppy enquiries by email only at the moment!) but will probably not manage to do much else, no commenting etc :o(
We are unlikely to post either until these issues are resolved and we don't know when that will be, hopefully before the puppies arrive....the next post from us may well be to announce their arrival!
See you all soon, we hope!

Catching Up....
So here we are playing catch-up again....
On Friday we went for a lovely evening walk on Findhorn's north shore. We saw another stone arrangement, the most impressive so far we think....are these the new sandcastles?
Saturday was hectic for the humans, which means we had a lazy day....zzzzz....
On Sunday we went to our Nanny's for a BBQ....well, they had burgers etc, we got frozen peanut butter banana yoghurt kongs just like the OP Pack have....mmmm! Alfie finished his and offered to clean the barbecue!
Today we went to Findhorn for a windy walk, this time around the bay. (The boys are wearing their collars again as they have rediscovered their prey-drive [it never really left!] and we've had a couple of deerhunting episodes....best to be safe!)
Rosie-watch....including tummy-cam!
Dreamin' of my Petey :D
We are going to be even slower on the blogs over the coming weeks, Mum is having a massive clear-out before decorating....and of course preparing for the arrival of puppies....we have lots of birthdays coming up and the mancubs will be off school soon too so it's all go here. There is also lots happening in the town over the next few weeks, Burgie International Horse Trials takes place next week, which is great fun and has lots of other non-horsey stuff going on like Lurcher racing....we also have Forres week soon with lots of activities including the Red Arrows performing over our park! We'll try to get out and about for some photos and post whenever possible and in the meantime we'll do our best to catch up with you all soon!
Oooh, almost forgot....Petey had a great idea. Whoever can guess how many puppies Rosie has and on what day, gets to nickname the puppers....if it's a tie then we'll go with whoever also correctly guesses how many boys and how many girls! Her due date is 4th July....their chosen nicknames will stay with them until they go to their furever homes!
