Here in the U.S., today is national pet day. But no matter where you are, you can celebrate all things PETS!
Stuart wasn’t a pet. He was our companion. Our friend. Here’s to you my boy!

And here’s to YOU….friends and followers of The Scottie Chronicles. If I could pat you all on the head today, I would. Consider it done.

About The Scottie Chronicles
Winston welcomes you to The Scottie Chronicles - a blog that began in 2009 as a voice for Stuart, a more than memorable black, brindle and white Scottish Terrier who captured hearts around the world. Stuart passed suddenly in December 2015 from cardiac hemangiosarcoma, a nasty cancer that took him far too early. If you love Scotties, please follow along. Arroooo!

In honor of National Pet Day, I want to share something said by that wonderful Yorkshire vet and beloved storyteller of our time, James Herriot.
“I hope to make people realize how totally helpless animals are, how dependent on us, trusting as a child must that we will be kind and take care of their needs.”
We say, here, here! Extra belly rubs, head petting and treats for all pets today! πΉ π΄ π° πΆ π· π―

Oh boy. Here’s another great quote from Herriot: If having a soul means being able to feel love and loyalty and gratitude, then animals are better off than a lot of humans.
~James Herriot
That pat on the head felt good! And, thanks to McDuff & Mom for that fabulous and poignant quote from my favorite book & Vet!

Yay for pets! We love our little pack here and the companionship is like no other. We know Stuart was a family member and loved as such. Sometimes we like our pets more than some of our blood relatives! Arooooooo!
