Subject: Mia's Birthday

Hi Dudley and Maureen

Thank you for your birthday wishes.  Lovely to hear from you.  It's not that I'm mad - just adventurous; but hey Dudley, what a party we could have.  Hmm! good idea.  You would be my Guest of Honour.  I received a very beautiful birthday card from Piper and Lottie - Mummy will include it in my album.  Scottie thought! - must find a publisher - forget Harry Potter - how about "Dudley and Mia - find the Philosopher's Stone?????"

Well, it's been a nice day - my first milestone.  This weekend is prezzie time.  You know Dudley - the old brown eye trick - everyone knows we're hard to resist!

All my love to you and your family,

Mia XXXXXXXXXX

P.S. Hey Piper and Lottie - know your Mummy will be reading this, so love to you both too.  XXXXXXXXXX

Hallo Jan - Is that an optical illusion or is your Scottie where I think he is!!  What a super Scottie collection in your cabinet too!

Subject: Spot the Scottie

Thank you Barbara.  I spotted this image in a tree outside my house.  It won't ever be there again. I know Scotties are fearless but a 'flying Scot' has got to be a first.  I love Scotties.

Hi

I have just been watching Dougal's slideshow.  Oh, isn't he just sooo sweet?  Brings back memories of my cute little puppy and what a little monkey he now is.  But we love 'em all.

Subject: 'The Last Battle'

Hello Marion

I just wanted to say how sympathetically 'The Last Battle' was written. It is such a difficult decision to make and I hope anybody who is facing this crisis will find it helpful and comforting.

Subject: 'Rescue Angels'

Hi Marion,

I just wanted to say how much I loved and related to the beautiful poem 'Rescue Angels'.  The words capture the sadness of all animals that are suffering and yet offers a ray of hope and release from all of their pain and loneliness.

Our two Scotties have been saved by the 'rescue angels', so may they keep fluttering around for as long as there are animals who need their help.

Thank you.

Subject: In Memory of Bonny

Linda and Chaz appreciate very much your words of comfort and understanding following the loss of their beloved Bonny.   Bonny was 'their life' and Linda and Chaz are both finding life without Bonny very difficult at the moment.

On behalf of Linda and Chaz, "thank you" to those who have left messages of condolescence for them.

Dear Linda and Chaz

I was looking at all the pictures of your dear Bonny.  I know you will be feeling so low now.

Look at the pictures, share your memories and walk the walks you used to do - Bonny's spirit will be with you.

You will find that in time, and that is as long as it takes for you, the darkness will start to lift and, in that tiny chink of light that appears, you may just see a little Scottie that needs your love.

Take care and support each other.

Love Barbara and Oliver Moonbeam XX

Dear Linda and Chaz

My heart aches for your sad loss of Bonny.  I have been there four times now.  That dear little girl will be alive in your hearts forever - all the good times you shared with her - and you are in her heart forever, and no one can take that away.   When you think of her, and I am sure that will be for a long time, smile.

Lots of love.

Hello Julie

What a gorgeous little boy.  He is going to grow into a lovely handsome Scottie.  I can see by his eyes he is very much his own man - a true Scottie - determined, strong-willed and very, very loving.  I wish you all happiness with Dougal - what a sweetie!

Love to you and Dougal.

Subject: Scottish Terrier Party

Hello Marion

Over the Bank Holiday I contracted a fantastic cold.  Feeling very sorry for myself I thought I would make a trip to Much Adam Donkey Sanctuary.  We make signs for them so I know the Manager quite well.  Off we went with carrots and i took a few sandwiches just in case we were peckish.  Dudley had his chews and water.  Anyway, we arrived and it was the first time Dudley had seen an animal that much bigger than himself, so bark, bark, bark. 

Dudley confined to the car, off I went with the carrots.  They were not well received - they preferred our sandwiches.  The Manager was quite happy about us feeding them although Jimmy didn't like onions, so spat them out, but he loved the mature cheddar.  Then I thought Dudley and Jimmy would look good as Prime Minister and Chancellor, so I've included a poster (by the way, Jimmy is a donkey, about 25 years old and a real sweetie).  It may not be too late to vote for them.  I think they would make more sense than who is running our country at the moment.  I hope you are well.

Love Maureen and Dudley Bear (I call him 'Bear' because he is so loving and has a big heart) XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Congratulations Dougal.  You must feel very proud Annie Brown - he is a lovely looking Scottie.   Although there can only be one winner, I think that all of the competition entrants were wonderful.   Love this site and its dedication to all animals.   Keep up the good work.

Subject: Love to all Scotties and Mia

Hello to all you lovely Scotties, especially Mia XXXX. 

Spring will soon be here.  I have had my clip, so now I am showing off in my shop window.  I don't have a 'best' side - they are all best!

Mummy read the message from Mia to me.  She knows I blush easily, so she took this photograph of me and I didn't have to look at the camera.  I have my best scarf on and if you look very carefully, Mia, you will see I am wearing my heart on my scarf for you XXXX

Well, I'm now off for my walk - not sure who to take - Mummy took me last night (it was raining) so I think I'll take Dad for a change - he needs the exercise!!

With love to Marion.

Subject: Rescue Me

Hello Marion,

What wonderful words.  It took me at least four goes to read it.  Please may there be people out there that care the way we do.  My goodness, the tears still keep coming.  Whoever wrote that unbelievable poem must have such love for all animals.

Thank you.

With love
