Coco died on Friday 12 May, aged 10, and this blog will remain as a memorial to the most endearing little Scottie we had the privilege of knowing.

Coco
I am a friendly black scottie. I have a new wheaten "brother" called Laddie. My old brother Dougal is no longer with us and I still miss him a lot.

Poem from Paula

Paula's pleased as she can be,
she chased a squirrel up a tree!

Ziggy Dog

Ziggy ziggy dog
likes to joggy jog jog
and she sometimes likes to dig...

When Ziggy ziggy dog
has a jog and a dig
then she likes to dance a jig
(John Winter - 2009)

Another poem from Paula

Roman Patrol is on its way,
what can we expect from this 'ere day?
Scratched and bitten are the odds,
because it's raining cats and dogs!

Rest in peace my beautiful brother

Dougal alone with his thoughts
"Here we are, we're alone in the universe, there's no God, it just seems that it all began by something as simple as sunlight striking on a piece of rock. And here we are. We've only got ourselves. Somehow, we've just got to make a go of it. We've only ourselves.” John Osborne
