The Black Hills of South Dakota

Here was our hotel for 5 nights - Custer State Park, South Dakota. I must admit, I liked it here. I was worried about ticks when I first arrived, but after sending Diesel into the long grass and wildflowers, I thought it safe. Mother and Father drove until 0300 am to get to the campsite, so they were too tired and grumpy to remember to take OUR picture at Wind Cave National Park. There is an amazing cave under the prairie that Scotties are not allowed in. We viewed the wildlife with Momma while Papa and Samuel went into the cave. We are getting to ride up front since there is less wildlife for Diesel to interrogate - and no bears!

Me and My Bone...

OK, so it WAS Diesel's bone - Grandma Sally gave it to him when she brought him to live with us from Scottie Rescue. I took it over because Diesel is too busy with shoes, mortgage bills, and Samuel's toys...

Happy First Birthday!

Our 1st Birthday was on Tuesday! It was the same day Momma's first Scottie was born 24 years ago! We had a GREAT party tonight - well, except for having to wear scarves and party hats. Diesel got my scarf and tried to rip it off while it was still on my neck - you can see my reaction in the 4th image. We played HARD in the yard tonight and then had a yummy cake and presents too. No worries, the furry thing in image #2 is a toy - I tore the squeaker out of it soon after we got it. That is me, Jett, in the first picture - I  love chasing a ball and am pretty good at bringing it back. I have BIG shoes to fill, as Angus who used to live here was the BEST at Scottie fetch.

Monument Valley

What a BIG place. I was happy to get out and stretch my paws. Diesel is covered in dust again and does not even seem to care. Mother says we should not pee in this sacred place, but Diesel did not listen - again.
