Welcome New Friends

Posted on January 26, 2012 by

OK. First things first. How do you like my new blog theme?? I think I’m liking it. My jury is still out.

Now. On to today’s thoughts. We’ve had lots of new visitors here lately at The Scottie Chronicles and we’re pleased to welcome them. Several new followers, too. Sweet! Thanks for the visits and the subscriptions!

So, We thought it might be nice to review a few things so that Our new friends can follow the bouncing ball of all things Scottie-liscious.

First, I’m a Scottish Terrier. That means that I AM the Center of the Universe. Yes. You read that correctly.

Next, I refer to my peeps as “They” and to my family as “Us,” “We,” “She,” “He,” etc. I just like capitalizing my personal pronouns.

There are three of Us in Our house. Me, Him and Her. See, I can’t allow another dog to come into Our house because, well, because I said so. (It’s a Center of the Universe kind of thing.)

Scotties talk. Yes. That’s right. We say, “Arroooo Rooo Roo” when we speak. So now you know what that means.

I’m 5 years old. I’m stubborn. I have a weight problem. I love green beans. (Fresh ones, steamed. To eat with my kibble.) I love to travel. Love the beach – hence the header photo, which I need to fix by the way. It’s a bit pixillated looking. Gotta make it perfect.

OK. That’s about it for now. OHHHHH…. I forgot, here’s the schedule for The Scottie Chronicles. Write it down so you’ll remember to check back:

  • Wednesdays are Watercolor Wednesdays where I show you some art.
  • Fridays are Friday’s Foto Fun where I show you some funny pictures and sometimes feature my friends in some funny photos. (Send me yours to Stuart the Scottie at hotmail dot com.)
  • Saturdays are Where in the World? Saturdays where I click my heels together and end up somewhere exotic and I show you the pictures.
  • AND….announcing…. Silent Sundays. Yes, folks. I’m going to try to get back to my daily posting schedule. “When,” you might ask, “did you ever post every day, Stuart?” Well, I did that waaaay back when I started blogging back in 2009.

What You Learned Today:

  • I changed my blog theme. I was getting kind of bored and ended up in a funk. So, I changed it. Let me know what you think. Please.
  • I’ve got some new friends, so I thought I’d give them a big ‘ole Scottie Welcome today.
  • MOST IMPORTANTLY: My friend Vanilla Bean honored me with a Versatile Blogger award! Thank you Vanilla Bean. I’m working on the stuff I have to do! THANK YOU!

Thanks, Vanilla Bean!

Watercolor Wednesday

Posted on January 25, 2012 by

It’s Wednesday. Time for some art! Yes? Oui.

So here it is. ‘Lil ‘ole moi pretty as you please. Hey, you guys slapped me out of my funk yesterday. Thank you for that. Off to go play with Sniglet!!!

What You Learned Today:

  • I’ve been in a funk.
  • Maybe ’cause there’s been no wintertime where I live yet and I really like my snow.
  • Maybe it’s ’cause I ate something yukky.
  • In any event, I’m outta my funk because y’all told me to snap out of it.
  • Whew. Thanks. It takes a village with me sometime….
  • Oh…one more thing, this watercolor may look like a repeat, but it’s not. It’s brand new.

BREAKING NEWS:  TA DA!! I’ve changed up the blog – as you can see.  Not sure if I like it, but it’s what I chose. She likes it. He doesn’t. What do YOU think?

Ah me.

Posted on January 24, 2012 by

Ah me.

Ah me. I’m just not quite myself today. Just can’t get my act together. Haven’t eaten a thing all day. Snoozing, visiting the girls next door, hanging out outside….but just not quite up to snuff.

Hey, I’m thinking about changing up my blog. Needs a new look maybe. What do you think?

AND I still can’t bark at some of my friends.

What You Learned Today:

  • Well, it’s a sunny day here today.
  • The temperature climbed at least 20 degrees F from yesterday.
  • Whew.
  • Maybe that’s why I’m out of sorts.
  • Do you ever get out of sorts?

Snoozy Today

Posted on January 23, 2012 by

Whaa?  zzZZZzz. Uh…where am I? What day is it?

You know, if I could ball up my paws into fists, I’d be rubbing my eyes right about now. It’s been a totally dreich weekend here at Our house. Drizzly, damp and chilly. Right down to my skin. Today’s no different.

So, I’m heading back to sleepy land. That’s what dreich days are for after all. Especially after my little whirlwind travel tour on Saturday. Whew.

What You Learned Today:

  • It’s Monday.
  • I’m not a human, as you know, but I’m heading back to sleep. Like most humans want to do on Mondays.
  • What’s up with Mondays after all? Why don’t folks like them so much?
  • For me today, it’s just damp and cold. Dreich.
  • What about you? Do you like Mondays?

Where In The World?

Posted on January 21, 2012 by

Ah Venice! From here I might just circle around and head up and over to visit my Westie friend Mai in Slovenia. Haven’t heard anything from her in a while.

Uh…wait, maybe I’m in Amsterdam

But wait, the water looks too shallow to be a canal because of that big ‘ole cement ball.  Or is it cement? Who knows. Do you know? I sure don’t.

No matter where I am, there’s water. And old buildings. On second review of the picture, it looks like the big ‘ole ball might be some sort of art object in a little reflecting pool and there might be a sidewalk or something on the other side. Yeah. That’s it. Or is it? I’m thinking eastern Europe somewhere.

Where in the world do you think I am, ‘cuz I sure don’t know.

What You Learned Today:

  • Saturdays I click my heels together (all 4 of them) and do a bit of traveling.
  • I never know where I’ll end up.
  • Stay tuned. Next Saturday I’ll go somewhere else.
  • And you wouldn’t want to miss it.
