CARRLEIGH'S GOTCHA DAY AND LOADS OF PRESSIES

Today is a special day in our home.
It's Carrleigh's Gotcha Day.
This is the picture our breeder friend
sent us when she told us she was ill
and couldn't keep Carrleigh any longer.
Mom cried a lot thinking about Carolyn
being so sick and Dad said,
"Lets go visit Carolyn and get Carrleig
h"
and the rest is history!


It all started out
just like a normal day.

We were laying around
and trying to find some mischief
to get in to.

when Mom found this package
on our porch.
She opened it
and let us take a sniff.
Jake, are you in there?
Is Fergi with you?
We could feel the love that went
into this beautiful package.


And we could smell it!!
It smelled so good that
Mom was ready to dive right in!
See these beautiful Scottie cookies
(made just for Scotties)
and some bone cookies

(made just for Java)

We could hardly wait to have one.
See how Carrleigh's toungue
is hanging out in anticipation.

And Dad had to keep us feisty Scotties back
so that Java could have one.
They are so crispy and good,
we wish we could share them with everyone.
We think either their Nina
girl
or their Moma
should go in to business.

Piper was fascinated
with all of the toys that were in the box.

And each toy
had it's own beautiful
handmade tag.

Mom could tell immediately,
without looking at the names,
which toy belonged to which dog.
Can you?


Were you right?


And then there were these
two little packets that were
wrapped in bubble wrap.
Mom decided they must belong
to her and put them up on
her
special high shelf where we can't
get to them.

Did you know that Jake and Fergi
must be artist?
Check out this beautiful
kitchen glove.
We are willing to bet
that it just gets hung in the kitchen
and never touches a hot pot.


It must be Mom's "gotcha day" too.
Because when she went to the mailbox
she had an envelope from her friend, Laurie,
over at Magpie Ethel's blog,
with all of these darling
Scottie and Westie items enclosed.
Laurie is a very talented artist

who makes unique items out of
vintage finds.
She and Mom have a lot in common.
They can see a repurpose for everything.
She also has an Etsy Store.
You might want to check it o
ut.

After all of that excitement,
we had Carrleigh's favorite dindin.
Wild Alaskan Salmon
on top of kibble.


Thank you so, so, so much
Jake, Fergi, Sally, and Nina
and Laurie
for making this day such a special occasion.

XOXO
Lilly, Piper, Carrleigh and Java

Happy Gotcha Day, Carrleigh!

It made us wag our tails (Fergi, too!) to know those cookies arrived just in time for your celebration! Wish we could say we had that planned, but mostly we got lucky. Moma FINALLY finished one thing she started. (We get the credit for taste testing. Somehow the Scottie cookies taste just the same in terrier shape! Go figure!

Enjoy, good friends!
Love,
Jake and Fergi
