The loss of a loved one is life changing isn’t it? And while the Dad Peep and I, the Peepstress, haven’t welcomed a furiend into our home – yet – since Stuart’s passing, several of our friends either have, or are going to add to their households very soon.
That makes me happy.
Stuart would say, “it’s time to be happy peeps, ’cause the alternative takes too much effort and you know I don’t like to exert much effort”.
Who knows? Perhaps the Dad Peep and I will have something to share with you about our own household this year. I hope so. Stay tuned….
Until then, best wishes to all who have suffered painful losses and gained new loving friends in the process. AroOOOOO ROOOOO to you!

(who arrived to mend the broken hearts of her peeps…..and did a good job I finks!)
What a happy story. Princess Leah, you are indeed a princess.
arrroooo arrooo to you… I hope so much that you will have something wonderful to share…
Phenny is like a balm for us… even when there are still so much tears…. to know there is someone who needs us gives us some power to find a way ….
Very well said my friends. Phenny is adorable and I believe sent to you by Easy himself.
We think that Stuart would be happy if you had a new furbaby to love.
We think so too! Thanks for writing.
Stuart and BoBo need an earth sibling to help keep you two in line! Don’t you worry, the newster will receive much guidance from the Bridge on how to train you and Dad.
You’re absoROOOtly right.
We hope so too.
Sweet.
When we first lost our Maile (black and brindle Scottish Terrier) to lyme disease in late July … we had not planned to even consider another furbaby. We have a German Shepherd (Duke) and were resigned to be a one-dog family. Less than a month after her passing, I felt a strong nudge from Maile that not only did we need a new member to our family but Duke needed a friend. I was determined to not get another Scottie – how could I? My heart belonged to Maile. But over the next few weeks, everywhere I turned there was a picture of a Scottie … a statue of a Scottie … pajamas with Scotties … and each encounter brought the flood of tears and brokenness of my heart right back to the surface. Yep – it was obvious – we are Scottie addicts and we had to have another Scottie asap. The only litter in the entire province of Ontario was located about 5 hours from us. And was it ever worth the drive!! Molly (a black and brindle Scottie with white markings) is truly a gift from God. I am certain Maile had a hand in leading us to Molly as well. I am so thankful I felt Maile’s nudge and saw the signs that led us to this new love we call Molly Mia. And Duke is happy, too (mostly) :). Maile will never be replaced in our hearts but Molly has increased the size.
This brings tears to my eyes. Thank you so much for sharing. I MUST see Molly. Her markings sound like Stuart! If you’d care to share, send a photo to the Dad Peep and me to: StuartTheScottieAThotmail.com
The bit of ‘happy news’ you share with us today is wonderful and gives us hope. It has been a most difficult year for you and the Dad Peep. I am reminded of a poem with many verses so fitting for you both. The following is taken from that poem, To Everything There Is a Season:
To everything there is a reason, and a time for every purpose under the heaven:
A time to be born, and a time to die;
A time to break down, and a time to build up;
A time to weep, and a time to laugh;
A time to mourn, and a time to dance;
We all look forward to sharing in your joy and happiness with another furiend. I know Stuart would also tell you, ” It is time…”
McDuff’s Mom
A lovely poem. You’re a lovely friend. Thank you.
I was hoping to have another Sweet Squatty by now, but that hasn’t happened yet for a number of reasons. Back surgery being just one important reason. But, I am hopeful my next Sweet Baby may be “in the oven” “as we speak” and that she/he will be in my home in late April or early May. This is the longest I’ve ever gone without my own Pupper. But I know God has known all along which one He has chosen for me! ❤
OH!!!! This is happy news! Take your time. Please keep us posted on your sweet baby!!!! Can’t wait. Happy. Happy. HAPPY!!!!
We agree with McDuff’s Mom – Stuart telling you it’s time! And from LI, we strongly suggest two little scotties to keep you and the Dad peep laughing and loving.
Ozzy & Callie
I’ve often thought of two wiggly Scots. Two. TWO. Oh my. That makes my head spin around.
Go for it, PEEPS!!
-Otto and Osa
OTTO AND OSA!!!! Wonderful of you to bark at me!! ArrOOOO to you.
Oh I am so very happy to hear you say you are ready to share your love with a furbuddy. Young or old we all need some love in our lives. Can’t wait to see and hear who comes into your life.
Bentley and Pat
Bentley and Pat, you’re so right. We all need love. Two feet love and four feet love. Thanks for your support!
That would be fantastic!
ArOOOO Down Under Pals!
Oh, I am hoping and keeping my paws crossed that there may be something (Scottish & fluffy with a bit of a Terrier attitude) you can share with us this year!
The Dad Peep and I are hoping it’ll happen, too! Thanks for popping by!
Ohhhh we hope so!!
((((Thank you))))
Everyone’s situation is different. We noticed Kyla slowing down and she was almost 12 with a history of medical problems (Addison’s, pancreatitis) so pre-empted the situation, got a rescue Scottie mix and let Kyla train her. Kali and Kyla were together for 11 months and now Kali is is quite the foodie also. We miss Ms Kyla something fierce, but we did it right for our situation. What do I know? I’m just a bird brain.
Every situation is different. No truer words were ever squwakked. Y’all are lucky. You’re good anipals.
He’ll always be in your heart
Lily & Edward
Yes. As Benny Boy is in yours. Sweet.
Yes, it’s time – go for it!!! You’ll be so glad you did, and we’ll all be looking forward to seeing the photos and hearing about the new adventures!
Just last night we learned a neighbor is rescuing a pup after losing his precious mixed little girl who used to lie in the street and wait when Stuart came around. It’s a good thing!
When I got Archie earlier this year, I did it fully knowing that he would fill a hole that would be left when Bonny Rose eventually crossed the bridge. She was 13 after all, and had fought liver issues since she was 9. I really thought her crossing would be further down the road than it was, though. I miss her every day but am very glad Archie is here to keep me company.
I know Stuart is helping bring you a new buddy when the time is right. I’m excited to hear about him/her. 🙂
Bless Archie! Stuart is indeed prodding us along….
It took 14 years to get another Scottie after the first one died. I understand.
So happy you’re thinking of an “addition” to the family. Kiki and Cally are Scotties #5 and #6 for us. Each one of the previous 4 has been special and precious, so “Scottie” and yet so themselves. AND, every once in awhile Kiki or Cally “channels” one of their predecessors with a pose, a look, or an action that was unique to a prior one of our babies. Just a reminder to us that we’re being looked out for forever!
You’re so right. It’s wonderful to hear from you!
