Surprise!!!

Did you all read Becky's blog yesterday at Sweet Cottage Dreams? Go read what she says about a surprise! Well, here it is!

Maggie and Finnegan

The woman they purchased Doog's from was in an automobile accident and still had two Scottish Terrier puppies from the current litter that were unsold. Becky is such a dear and a good friend that she went and picked them up to help out the family. I know! I told you she is a great person!! At some point I wish you all can meet Becky in person.

Anyway, Sweety and I had been out there last month to look at the puppies since we had been planning on getting a Scotty. We had Marjorie for 15 years and miss her terribly. I had planned on getting another Scotty after I retired, mostly because this is what Sweety wanted. We loved the puppies but weren't quite ready for one as we have plans for some trips this summer. So then we get a call from Becky. "Miss Jean, you have to come and look at this little girl. She is soooooo sweet." Sorta like, "would you like a piece of candy, little girl?" When we went over and Sweety saw her I knew that it was a done deal. He fell in love with her. So we went home and talked about it (I listened, he talked) and called Becky back. "Ok, we'll take her. We'll come get her tomorrow." Becky and her hubby are so special that since we had some out of town commitments already planned this Saturday and three days next week that they are going to puppy-sit for us! I know! I told you they are great!! It'll be quite an adjustment I'm sure but she is a little dear and we love her bunches already. Sweety loves to hold her but she wants her new Mommy (Mommy Jean)!

So with no further ado, I'd like to introduce you to the newest member of our family! (Drum roll please) Ladies and Gentlemen, it is with great pleasure for me to present:

Little Miss Maggie Dear

affectionately called

Maggie

Maggie, Miss Jean and Sweety!

(On a side note. You may notice that I write "I know" a lot. "I know!" My Sweety and I have discovered Craig Ferguson (fellow Scotsman to Maggie) on late night tv. That's one of his catch phrases. The man is absolutely roll on the floor hilarious. Tune him in one night and see what I mean. I know!)

*As an addendum: Who in the heck are those middle aged people? I usually look skinny, young and glamorous and Sweety looks like some movie star compliation of leading men! I think my copy of The Enchanted Cottage must be broken!!
