BUGLETS - OFF AND RUNNING....

You'll have to excuse our secretary
for not posting for a week -
we finally got her down
off that tight-rope,
stopped her from
jumping through hoops
and caught all of the balls
she was juggling!!

We want to introduce you
to the buglet's new families.

Grace,
formerly Holly,
is going to live
with Holly
in Northern Virginia.

Bindy
is going to live with
Jim and Diane
and her half sister, Finleigh
in mid-Virginia.

Brodie
is going to live
with the Roden family
in Northern Virginia.

Argyle
is going to live with
Mike and Holly,
Rory and Fiona
in Pennsylvania.

Emma is here alone
with all the toys,
but soon she will be going

to live with Vicki and Bosco
in Kentucky.

We hope they all keep us
updated regularly.

XOXO
The Rocky Creek Scotties and Ivy
and
Emma

SOMETIMES WE HAVE TO MAKE DIFFICULT DECISIONS

You might remember
that we had a special litter
of nine puppies,
born on February 9th, 2010.

Out of that litter,

we kept one puppy
with us here at
Rocky Creek Farm -
"The Handsome Red King"

Our little
Ruairi Coinneach of Rocky Creek Farm
was such a delightful little pup -

and grew up beautifully.

But sometimes life situations change
and we have to make difficult decisions.
We decided to rehome Ruairi,
but thankfully we found him
a fantastic home
where he is the only dog
and the center of the world
for Dennis and Linda.

Dad flew Ruairi
out to them on Tuesday
and he got to fly in the cabin with Dad -
he's a marvelous traveler.
We knew he would be
because he loves to ride.
Guess where he lives now??

Mom just got off the telephone
with Ruairi's new peeps
and he is adjusting beautifully
to his new home.
It's a great fit for all concerned -
we hope to go visit him
sometime soon.

STILL SEARCHING....

Every Christmas,
our Mom has visions
of that illusive photo....

Lilly was very patient with Mom,
wore the Santa Dress,
let Mom put her in the puppy basket,
just gave Mom a little "stink-eye".

Enter the puppies
with their Santa hats
and before Mom could
get them all adjusted,
out goes Lilly.

"You know who"
did a bit of cute posing
while the others played
in the background.

And soon they all had
to join the fracas -
that got Lilly back up
and checking on them,
but not in the basket.

But this sweetie-wheatie
decided to give us a cute pose-
we just don't know who it is.

Lilly was happy to see them go
back into their box -
they are much easier to watch
in their familiar territory.

Mom needs about five extra hands
to get that photograph she's searching for.

XOXO
The Rocky Creek Scotties and Ivy

HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND

Let me give Christmas away,
unwrapped, by exuberant armfuls.
Let me share, dance,
live Christmas unpretentiously,
merrily, responsibly with overflowing hands,
tireless steps and sparkling eyes.

A SCOTTIE FAMILY NEEDS YOUR HELP TONIGHT

***the pictures from this story are so graphic,
they will not be included***

It has come to my attention that a

Scottish Terrier named Chief,

who belonged to Patrick Koval of Bulrington, Iowa,

was violated in his own,

fenced-in yard on the night of November 23^rd.

On November 29^th,

Chief died of injuries from this horrible event.

Not only was a person or persons

allowed to trespass on Patrick’s property,

they also destroyed one of his dearest friends,

his loving dog, Chief.

Patrick is offering a reward of $1000.00

for information leading to

arrest and conviction of this person/persons.

There are 14,820 cases in the animal abuse database. A large percentage of these are people who intentionally hurt animals because they enjoy hurting things, or because it makes them feel powerful. Many of these people would hurt other people if they could get away with it. They just choose to hurt animals because animals are more helpless than people. Though a good percentage continue to grow their aggression up the ladder! A lot of these people want to have control over others ~ Or they may hurt the animal to control another person. These persons suffer from serious, psychological problems that will probably not go away on their own.

Intentionally hurting animals for any reason is serious.

You can help by sending emails to the following people asking that this criminal act be thoroughly investigated and treated as should be to the fullest extent of the law.

chief of police - lutteneggerd@burlingtoniowa.org
the mayor of Burlington, Iowa - ellb@burlingtoniowa.org
the local TV station - oreilly@foxnews.com
the local papers - news@thehawkeye.com

Thank you for taking a minute out of your day

to help find someone who would injure

one of our breed

or any breed.

SLEEP, EAT......

The Sweet Buglets
are really busy these days.
Growing is a hard job.

They spend a lot of time sleeping
with one eye open.
It's amazing that they
learn this so young in life.
It's hard to sneak up on them
when they are sleeping because
one of them wakes up and then
that one wakes up everyone else.

And now we are feeding them
three times a day.
Their food is still soft
but they are learning
how to eat hard kibble
and to drink water.
They have alligator teeth now!!

Then there are the
mounds of laundry!!
We don't mind
because we love them so much.

Thank God
for Johnson and Johnson Baby Powder.
It keeps them dry
because we put it between their sheets.
And when you pick up a buglet,
it smells baby fresh!!

XOXO
