The Princess and Prince wait anxiously for their morning walk….

Scottie (Easter) Sunday
The Princess – a snoot full of dirt from digging in my yard
The Prince turns 3 months old tomorrow…
He is all pup…and all moods. We’re making progress on the house training too (at least I keep telling myself that)
He sometimes gets so tired he just plops over….
Understand that typically I scold the hounds for roughing up my plants, especially when they are just flushing their spring growth, but how can I with this look?
With a Scottie, the ears are suppose to stand straight up…both of them…any time now buddy
And also with the Scottie they dig for varmints…or just maybe they do it just because sometimes….
Peat Dunyvey, the workings on being a Prince
I realize this is my third post in a week of the little Scottie, but he’s so dag-gum fun…the FD thinks we ought to refer to him as “Prince of Peat” – for the time being, we’re just calling him “Peaty”….
Even if he is still pooping and peeing in the house, he’s my kind of ornery….
He’s growing fast…
And from this you can start to see a personality in the making….
The Princess Zoey? She has fully accepted him into the Royal household…as long as he knows and keeps his place.
Spring Already?
Surprised? Nawww, not these two youngens…the mild temps had them a bit playful and with the Scottie Princess Zoey whimpering at them, at my side, gave me a momentary pose of curiosity to capture….
…that is until they go and do something like this! What did they think this was, Valentine’s Day or something? The Princess and I just looked at each other in disbelief after this oh-so-brief public display of affection (trust me on this – Scotties know these types of things should not be a common, every day occurrence).
Thursday Morning Finds
Went for a walk with the Princess Zoey this morning (as usual)…she gave me a somewhat classic Scottie silhouette pose (not like usual)
This is not supposed to be happening this early in the year….
But it’s kind of purdy….
And The Princess doesn’t mind the pleasant weather each morning…..
Scottie News
It is with much sadness that the former First Dog, Barney Bush has died. Because of my love of Scotties, the Bush’s loss is heartfelt; because of my own Mackie’s death 5 months ago, I know the memories will soon overtake the sadness. RIP Barney knowing you had one heck of a dog run for eight years.
Losing a beloved pet is always difficult; losing a Scottie dog gives reason for all Scotties to aroooo in mournful harmony.
And it is with much excitement that I announce our Princess Zoey, here a before and after photo of her day at the spa…
The Princess Zoey, with her winter coat still on….notice the tinge of redheadedness most noticeable on her chest and legs?
The Princess always is relaxed (or is it stress exhaustion?) after a spa day, and always a bit shy (embarrassed?) with her buzz-cut “nakedness”…but all is better (forgotten) after a short nap.
…will soon be joined by a Prince, a handsome fellow (I assume) whose name has yet to be decided.
YES, we get a new Scottie pup in one month! Pictures will follow soon.
Sundown with the iPhone
These pictures from yesterday aren’t too bad considering the pace of a brisk evening walk, a quickly draining iPhone battery, and an impatient leashed Scottish Terrier (that would be none other than the Princess Zoey). I used an HDR app on the iPhone to take these photos.
I stopped counting the number of colors in the sky after 15
If you look real close – and I mean put your nose on the screen close – you can make out the sliver of moon right over the tree tops
This picture has the moon and tree tops again…and a jet streaking across the sky…
Ya know, maybe I should sell my big cameras and use my iPhone camera more often (yeah right). :)
The Weather It’s Christmas Daily Cap(s) (351)
Nine days before Christmas and its 75° – Frosty has lost his hat, turned his back to the street, broke his arm, and longs for snow on a Christmas tree that is outside the house….
Wait a minute…aren’t these guys supposed to be in Mexico or someplace further south about this time of year? Don’t hold me to it but I think these butterflies are juvenille “Painted Lady”.
Yup, that’s a lady bug on my dag-burned backyard dandelion….
Maybe they only stopped by for a drink, and they will soon be on their way….
I’m thinking Zoey should have snow balls hanging from her beard this time of year instead of pine needles….
This is but one of the five or six juvenile “flutterbys” I camera-chased in my backyard this afternoon….
Just experimenting with an iPad app….
The Zoey Daily Cap (345)
After a brisk morning walk, the Zoe-bird finds a sunny spot on the dining room floor and takes in its warmth…sad eyes and all (and she will move with the sun until the sun no longer comes through the window).
The Backyard Daily Cap(s) (337)
The Zoe-bird….
Crapemyrtle fall color….
If I remember right, this is that chirping Mockingbird that usually wakes up before me each day….
“That” bug on the Coleus….
A volunteer Red Oak shows off it true colors (and “that” bug sure gets around)….
Watering the near-dormant garden….
The My Dog The Cat Daily Cap(s) (292)
The Princess Zoey…I swear she thinks she’s cat sometimes
A contented nap this evening while in front of the television….
She’s watching me watching her watching me photograph her…..
The Waiting Game Daily Cap(s) (261)
Waiting for the fish to start biting….
Waiting for me to put up my camera….
The Sunset (sort of) Thursday Daily Cap(s) (243)
The Princess Zoey – she always makes a wonderful pose. Here, we’rve got a black-haired Scottie in near-sunset subdued light, yet the whites of her eyes are still so expressive….
Dang wasps start to gather near sunset (and sunrise for that matter) – I’ve sprayed this nest 4 times. Tomorrow I might set the tree ablaze to rid my backyard fo these pesky insects. Oh wait! Aerial spraying for West Nile starts tomorrow evening – I’ll spare the tree another day to see what happens with that….
Thursday night…Texas high school football…at sundown! I have the best seat in the house at home games – I’m in the press box and tonight started my 13th, or is it my 14th season as the stadium PA voice? Even having an east-facing view, you can tell the thick cloud cover didn’t give me a whole lot to work with tonight had I been after a “real” sunset photo. BTW, we won!

Grasshoppers seem to be posing for every photo right now….
It does me good to see a young kid fishing….
Bending the pole, landing the catch….
I had so much “get” to choose from, I “got” up and went without….
Grilling bratwursts….
The Zoe-Bird…helping with the grilling

The Princess Zoey….
The backyard is hers….
Airplanes and low flying birds are not welcomed here…..
The Sunday Random Daily Cap(s) (211)
Mackie the Queen died a week ago today…and the Princess Zoey seems to still be mopey (we all miss her Zoe-Bird). But each day gets better; each day we laugh a bit more; each day Zoey gains a more playful bounce in her step; each day she finds the morning sunlight coming through the windows.
Now this is a tree row….
A secluded neighborhood soccer field…and in the summer time it catches no breeze.
It’s so hot in Texas…even the Longhorn cattle seek out a Mesquite tree for some shade.
The Scottie Bond Daily Cap(s) (198)
Before Mackie’s appointment with the veterinarian, the Royals had their own version of morning tea on the patio (never mind the dreadful, outstretched garden hose please – terminate the gardener immediately).
The Princess Zoey…sad, in her own way, that our Queen is ailing
My Queen at home this evening. She spent the day at the vet’s struggling with a decrease in kidney function, infection, and dehydration. The bandage on her front leg is an IV – she gets to spend the day with the vet again tomorrow. She isn’t too happy with her Royal subjects (me) right now. Oh geez this lady…she just needs to get well if she can.
The Plum-Scottie Daily Cap(s) (197)
Mexican Plums are starting to drop…all over the backyard
My Queen Mackie. She’s been puny of late and has me a bit worried (damn pets how they tug your heart strings) – her blood work results should be back tomorrow.
The Princess Zoey…ain’t nothing ailing this girl
The Halfway Point Daily Cap(s) (183)
Today’s post marks the halfway point of the 365 “The Daily Cap(s)” effort for 2012. And I need to give a h-u-g-e thank you to all the old friends, new friends, and visitors that have been a part of the first 182 posts. There are several followers that are family, and then there are several more that I consider family (and you know who you are…:) ) I may be trying some “daily” themes – don’t know yet – but my hope is I don’t bore you to tears with the next 183 posts….
Cloud watching can take up entirely too much of my day sometimes….
A humble abode. There’s just too much..ahhhh…well…”cool-ness” going on with this building to list….
And have a look at the neighbor’s place….
Caught the Queen (Mackie) looking at me (with her nose out of focus). “Mac” will be 12 this October. She’s had a rough week – not herself, not eating, kind of spacey and out of it. I had to drop to the floor a few times to give her some lovin’ – she always perks up a bit when that happens. Today was the first day in a week she’s felt OK. Poor lady – “don’t be doing anything radical or rash on me now Your Highness”.
The Princess (Zoey) always strikes a pose for me (with her nose in focus)….
Still cloud watching, this time from the backside of a Denton (Texas) landmark….

My Mackie the Queen of Scots (she really does not like her picture taken)
The Princess Zoey (she really kind of likes having her picture taken)
