The Boys.... Watson and Hamish

Sweet loving pups or evil plotters who seek world domination ...

I have always thought that Scotties are the cats of the dog world.
They kind of wait and assess the situation and then they decide if and
when they will do what you want.
Cheeky little devils, clever little devils, conniving little devils,
great waggly tail companion little devils and steal your heart little
devils.

They are usually under foot, more so with Hamish who has sent me
flying into walls, furniture, and sliding doors more times that I can
count, because he is truly under, in and around my feet.
They usually can be found in the studio where I spend most of my day
and is filled with pillows for their napping enjoyment.

I alway know where Hamish (right) is because he is never far from
where I am. When I move even two feet to get something he will move
with me. We call him the Shadow queue music, among many other non
printable names.
Watson (left) will mosey off and I mean mosey, usually I find him
laying in the light from the skylight in the entry way. Napping in
the sunlight in a air conditioned home in the desert, must be heaven
to an old pup.

But....
Every once in awhile I come around the corner and see this...

Sweet pups, butter wouldn't melt in their mouths (yeah right because
they have scarfed it down) sweet pups
who me ? sweet pups
and I know, I just know they are plotting but what are they plotting ?

Thankfully, it really doesn't matter what they are plotting because
after a nano second Hamish will have forgotten and go chase a bug, he
is a great tracker and Watson will fold for a game of tug and a
chicken strip !

What can I do, they have wrapped me around their little paws and I
lurve them !
