Today was hot so up and out early. Long cool grass and lovely breeze, lots of paddling and drinking and shade. We strolled and sat in the shade, then travelled in the van with the wind in our hair and that basically broke up the day , with some company and sights and smells. Home for late morning by the time we taxied around ### safe n sound, tired n happy x
Back to normal tmro x 💦🌦️

Everyone was up and out in a timely manner today to enjoy the cool breeze of the fields-in-the-sky aka the braes. We chilled; sitting and rolling around and simply soaking up the weather we dream about for 11 months of the year. Oh my goodness it was heavenly. But all good things must come to an end and we were all home by lunchtime. Apart from Layla, Maisie and Alfie who enjoyed some extra time on the overlee pitches. Is that a sign 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿?
Cmon Scotland!!!! The tartan army has done us proud! Thank you Ringo's dad for bringing treats home from USA!
See you on the other side! 🤞🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿⚽Xx

What a day!! We managed to get them all up and out early, without anyone waiting indoors , and we were back home for lunchtime, before it became too hot. We mostly lurked in the woods, taking advantage of the shade but we enjoyed some rays and some cool stream water for paddling and drinks x perfect morning xx Maisie B and Elsie are living it up in the garden like ladies who lunch x

P.s. I've stopped apologising, Louise !😄. I heard, "Oz, get in the shower!" 🤣💩

Happy Monday! Today during our walk, I mostly carried Elsie 💪🥵as I wanted her out with us, one week post-op. It seems I only managed a couple of photos! She's been missing her friends and the smells so much x
Last week, whilst she snoozed with her daddy, the group, guilt-free, popped to the Linn beach for a paddle and found it so shallow that we viewed our surroundings from a completely new perspective, usually the reserve of the local duck community! 🦆

Sadly, we will miss our beautiful Coco over the next few weeks after suffering an injury at home 😔Get better soon beautiful girl xx

I am a cash payer as much as possible! ... Cash payment is always welcome x

I hope everyone will read Dave Ramsey’s comments about going cashless. It’s a two minute read. No one has explained it better. He brings up several situations I'd never considered.
NO CASH means ABSOLUTELY NO CASH. Here is an idea. The next store you go in and order a drink or want to buy their product and they tell you “card only” …. Walk Away

Dave Ramsey repost:

HERE'S WHAT NO CASH ACTUALLY MEANS:
A cashless society means no cash. Zero. It doesn’t mean mostly cashless and you can still use a ‘wee bit of cash here & there’. Cashless means fully digital, fully traceable, fully controlled. I think those who support a cashless society aren’t fully aware of what they are asking for. A cashless society means:

* If you are struggling with your mortgage on a particular month, you can’t do an odd job to get you through.
* Your child can’t go & help the local farmer to earn a bit of summer cash.
* No more cash slipped into the hands of a child as a good luck charm or from their grandparent when going on holidays.
* No more money in birthday cards.
* No more piggy banks for your child to collect pocket money & to learn about the value of earning.
* No more cash for a rainy day fund or for that something special you have been putting £20 a week away for.
* No more little jobs on the side because your wages barely cover the bills or put food on the table.
* No more charity collections.
* No more selling bits & pieces from your home that you no longer want/need for a bit of cash in return.
* No more cash gifts from relatives or loved ones.
What a cashless society does guarantee:
* Banks have full control of every single penny you own.
* Every transaction you make is recorded.
* All your movements & actions are traceable.
* Access to your money can be blocked at the click of a button when/if banks need ‘clarification’ from you which will take about 3 weeks, a thousand questions answered & five thousand passwords.
* You will have no choice but to declare & be taxed on every pound in your possession.
* The government WILL decide what you can & cannot purchase.
* If your transactions are deemed in any way questionable, by those who create the questions, your money will be frozen, ‘for your own good’.

Forget about cash being dirty. Stop being so easily led. Cash has been around for a very, very, very long time & it gives you control over how you trade with the world. It gives you independence.

If you are a customer, pay with cash. If you are a shop owner, remove those ridiculous signs that ask people to pay by card. Cash is a legal tender, it is our right to pay with cash. Banks are making it increasingly difficult to deposit cash.

Please open your eyes. Please stop believing everything you are being told. Almost every single topic in today’s world is tainted with corruption & hidden agendas.

Pay with cash & please say no to a cashless society while you still have the choice.

Awww.. Coco just knew it was time to go home. She anticipated the car pulling up outside and instantly ran from the windowsill to her mummy and sister outside! Much excitement; there's no place like home, 'Toto' but we'll miss that wee face and the invitation to play, with the sound of the ball dropping from her mouth! Sweet girl x
Prior to this, of course, were two beautiful walks with her fabulous friends xx

We walked Elsie at the park at 8am this morning and then she was straight in for neutering 😔
All went well 🥹 and I'll pick her up soon. In the meantime her friends had a lovely long walk and we met familiar friends along the way x

What a busy busy week.
We had to say goodbye to the West Highland Way explorers, Elsie and Derek, but thankfully two beauties kept their beds and sofas warm. Ringo -ruggedly handsome as always- was the perfect gent , such a good boy especially when he was joined by gorgeous Coco who is also, and maybe even more, ball mad. They kept a dignified silence on the subject and kept to their own business. But what an absolute pleasure it was having their company when the house would otherwise have felt so quiet. We also had our very own party boy Harlie come for his daycare joined by beautiful MaisieB in her 80's inspired retro jacket and the glue who holds us altogether, stunning Layla x
The walks were just full of joy.
Can we take a minute to admire the posing 😘
We all tried a selfie, with me sitting down but got absolutely licked into submission ending with a group mauling (with affection) , me unable to get up 😆
Elsie returned home, tired, with wee tender paws but delighted xx 6 days 1.3 million steps and 125 miles under her collar. Del said he'd do it all again.
Thank you my little gang for keeping spirits high x
