Out & About With Mr. Doogs & Miss Fiona ~ Scottie Independence

It is a nice and breezy morning ~ just perfect for a walk with us! So come along with me and my little sister and and we'll show you what we like to do.
There is lots of sniffing and exploring along the way. Doesn't my little sister look too cute with that pink flower stuck to her nose?

The sun is nice and bright against a perfectly blue sky.

Maw and Fiona better hurry up and catch my Paw and I. You know us guys, we are bigger and faster! ...but we don't tell them that!

We like the flags that fly high and proud at the park.

Ok! Let the games begin!!! Off go our leashes and we are all about running around and playing Scottie games ~ that of which translates into biting on the face, poking each other in the butt and tagging and running. Of course, little sis just has to be the first instigator!

She is learning that I, Doogie P., am bigger, faster and smarter!

However, I am also a gentleman and like to let her think she is getting the upper lip on me every so often.

Lots of circling each other...

Running....

....and yes, she keeps on running.....and running...and running...and she runs just like a rabbit!

...until she figures out I stopped. With our tongues totally hanging out as far as they could possibly extend from our mouth, we look for a place to rest.

I guide little Sis to where the shade trees are...
...and she insists on running rather than walkiing. So off I go to chase her down.....

....and we find the perfect spot to plop down in the nice cool shade and soft grass. She is telling me that this IS A GOOD SPOT!

Ahhhh....to relax.....

...and smile pretty for Maw's camera!

We are contemplating how far away the water fountain is. With our mouth watering in anticipation for a refreshing sip of H20....

...we made a break! Fiona is my lookout...

...and always lets me (the big dog) drink first. Maw always says, "ladies first," however Fiona still lets me have first grabs.

I have to tell her that it's OK to drink with me.

We head back for home now....

but Maw wanted to show you some of the cool details at the park ~ like this STAR metal flowerbed cover.

While Maw is oooo'ing and awww'ing over the doo-dads, Fiona and I check out the park rules. Hey, we are under 5 so do we get to play?

Fiona really needs to learn her ABC's...

...and I could teach them to her as we swing on these.

Hmmmmm....interesting....is this something I could pee on?

Maw said, "No," so I shall stick to places like this.

On the trek back home Maw spies these flowers that she said reminds her of fireworks or sparklers.

We're back at the ol' homestead now.

WE hope you enjoyed your Independence Day!

...time for a good doggie snooze.....
