Monster holiday at Loch Ness

So! I was dragged on an unexpected holiday for four days in the highlands of Scotland last weekend. Mum has been working extra hard at her new job and needed a break, so we went to a place near Loch Ness. 

I knew that something was up when my bed basket was put in the car along with me. My bed has never left the house before so this was new.

It was a long journey to the holiday house and the weather was very changeable, as we got to the high ground we hit a snow storm.

 I mostly slept through the storm and the scenery when the sun came out after was spectacular.

The house we went to was really snug and spacious with a fire and under floor heating. 

In the evening there were big snowflakes and in the morning I could play in the snowy wonderland it left behind.

Each morning we set out on a new adventure, we saw Deer, stags, castles and the Caledonian Canal loch gates at Fort Augustus. No Loch Ness monster though. 

Really want to go back next year – 4 out of 4 paws for pawfection

New Year at Crichton Castle

So after staying up late for the Bells for New year it was a weary roll out of bed at 11am for Mum this morning. We decided the roads would be quiet and we would head for the rolling hills and views of Crichton Castle.

We invited some friends along too

After having some running around fun with the Frisbee, the ball and Leigha-Jay, we headed for a cup of tea in the car. This was the first cup of tea in the new car and Mum, Leigha-Jay and I had great fun playing house in the back of the car.

Mum put the kettle on and Leigha-Jay helped get all the things out of the bag and arrange them ready for making the tea and coffee. Leigha-Jay's Dad and my Dad talked cars and spent time checking out each others car engines and comparing engine sizes as guys do.

Once the tea was made and all the things were put away, Leigha-Jay pitched in and helped with the cleaning. It was all very muddy in the back of the car with peoples shoes and my muddy fur so we had a lot of cleaning to do.

We had a really nice time watching out of the window looking at other people and other dogs going for a walk up to the castle.
