Mans Best Friend

Drink Puppy Drink (Song by George J. Whyte-Melville, 1874):

Now here's to the fox with his arse beneath the rocks,
Here's to the line that we follow.
And here's to every hound with his nose upon the ground,
And a-merrily we whoop and we holloa!

Chorus (after each verse):
So drink, puppy, drink, let ev'ry puppy drink
That's old enough to lap and to swallow;
For he'll grow into an hound,
And we'll pass the bottle 'round,
And merrily we'll whoop and we'll holloa.

Now here's to the horse and the rider too, of course,
Here's to the rally to the hunt, boys;
And here's to every friend that can struggle to the end,
And here's to the tally-ho in front, boys.

Now here's to the gap and the timber that we rap,
Here's to the white thorn, and the black, too;
And here's to the pace that puts life into the chase,
And the fence that gives a moment for the pack, too.

Now the pack is staunch and true, now they come from scent to view,
And it's worth the risk to life, limb and neck, boys;
To see them drive and stoop until they finish with ‘Whoop’,
Forty minutes on the grass without a check, boys.

Came from a ‘hoarder’ along with 13 other Scotties in 2010. She’d been fostered with a brother but her fostering couple said she never ‘settled’ so she got handed back to Rescue.

Their loss was my gain. For 8-1/2 years she was with us, learned to BARK!!, slept on our bed.

Neediest Scottie we’d ever had out of 8, all ‘rescues’.

Early years’ abuse caught up in the end, she passed late last April from inoperable stomach tumor, probably malignant.

Been a rough 11 months... once I get past 4/29 this year I’ll be thankful.
 
Dogs FTW!

Both my seconds of each breed. I pretty much love all dogs, but the love of a Great Dane is second to none in my world.
