A Sweet Scotty Christmas

On Christmas we spent the day with our sweet friends, Stan and Dodie. They are also the Scotty breeders that we bought Duhgall from. So, needless to say, Duhgall got to spend his Christmas with his parents, Mr. Cole and Pearl. Now, Stan and Dodie's home is no stranger to having lots of furry little faces. Having three female Scotty Dogs and one male, they are a very busy family. There is Hazel, Pearl, Truely Scrumptious (named after Chitty-Chitty Bang-Bang) and then Mr. Cole. Truely had her first littler of puppies in November and a few days later, Pearl had puppies. So the puppies above are a combination of both litters.
We had fun playing with the puppies and I just had to get out the camera to share them with you. This little guy is a "Wheaten" Scotty. There are actually three types of Scotties: Wheatens, Brindled and the traditional Black. The original Scotty was brindled. I bit of Scotty trivia...
This little black Scotty woke up for the picture. See the top left Wheaten Scotty? You cannot miss him as he is the largest of them all. His aka is "Bubba." Bubba's mom, Truely, is a petite little wee one and we cannot believe that she had such a large son. I am really wrenching my hubby's arm on taking Bubba home. Dodie has one arm and I have the other! Of course, Bubba would be renamed with a Scottish name. I have always love the names Finnegan or Finnean (Finn Unn). Finnean translates to white haired, so that would be perfect for "Bubba."
Aren't they so cute?
Here is "Bubba." He woke up and wanted me to hold him. Duhgall didn't seem too impressed by him, but Bubba sure liked curling up in my arms and fell asleep. Later he woke up and "talked" to me and then started licking and kissing my chin. He was really stealing my heart big time!

Dodie and Stan have an awesome collection of antique Scotty things all through their house. This is a feather tree has the sweetest clip-on birds and then around the base are some antique seltzer stuffed Scotty Dogs. Dodie believes they are from Germany. These stuffed toys are almost as cute as the real deal.
Remember my Garden Club post? Yes, these are the dishes and some of the Scotty adornments from the table that Dodie and Waive decorated. Dodie bought all of the dishes for that day and then set a lovely Christmas dinner table for us by using tartan linens and the most adorable center piece with Mica, greenery, ribbons and old Scotty pieces. See the felt ribbon? That is from Hallmark and even has buttons that are hand sewn on it.
Besides collecting Scotty things, Stan and Dodie have a huge collection of antique Britains. Britains are small metal toys that are made in England. There are all kinds of figures that you can buy. In this case they have farm animals, wild animals, trees and fences. You can click on the picture to enlarge it. This case is just one of several that holds their Britains. The little furry face peeking around the corner is Hazel. She believes she is the Alpha Scotty in their household and is spot-on to whatever is going on at the moment. She followed me around whilst I snapped pics! She is just a sweetheart and is pregnant!!

This little guy is the newest Scotty member. Dodie gave him to me for Christmas. Like Kath's Trudie, he doesn't pee or poop and just is as quiet as a church mouse. Now, if this isn't just the biggest coincidence......check out his name! Dougal! Spelled differently than our guy, but can you believe that?! Kath, he looks like a relative of Trudie's...eh?
Have a lovely weekend everyone!!!!
