Fourteen years ago today, Euan adopted Osa in Virginia.

Good Morning

by Lydia September 29, 2022

Usually, most mornings, Euan and Scapa get up early-early and go for a walk. They come back, Scapa has her breakfast, and Euan goes back to bed for an hour or two. I get up not too long after this.

This morning, I was up before them, which resulted in Scapa deciding to eat her breakfast with me. She took a mouthful of kibble from her bowl in the kitchen (chicken munched promptly first), came to sit next to me in the sitting room, chomped it up, then went back for more and repeated this process.

Then, she proceeded to refuse to let me do anything except stroke her. Writing, shopping list, everything else be de damned. Eventually, she settled down like this.

Peaceful-Still

by Lydia September 19, 2022

It was so still in the woods this morning. Not eerie-still, just peaceful-still. We made it back just before another gentle rain shower.

Patient Patient

Euan bought Auri a doctor’s kit today. Fortunately, Scapa was very patient.

A young pre-school girl stands grinning next to her black dog in a wood, her hand on the dog's head. She is wearing green dungarees and a striped woolly hat. The dog has needles from the trees on her nose, and her ridiculously long tongue is hanging out of her mouth.

Semi-Feral Sisters

by Lydia September 13, 2022

From earlier this year: Auri and Scapa on a walk through the woods. “Needles on noses, but no woollen mittens…”

Elosa

Take one Southern and one Northern. Throw in a determined preschooler, a hot-off-the-press baby, and their four-legged guardian and partner in crime. Immerse in the Highlands.

You can sign-up for a regular email recap of recent posts and goings-on here. Probably monthly, possibly more often if life and happenings merit it.
