Katie & Riley are very active scotties...
usually up to SOMETHING!
These "WCGang Moments" are often recorded by the trusty digital camera!
This page is dedicated to such moments... a glance at the WCGang...
to delve into the minds and thought processes of the WCGang!!!
A truly FRIGHTENING adventure!!!
March 5, 2010
After MONTHS of no beard, no furnishings...
we finally progressed to a FURRY Wild Child, who became VERY 'fluffy'!
Finally, bought a "4" blade for my Andis...
a new adventure... undercoat & a "4" blade....on a FURRY Scottie.
OH MY!!! hehehe
DID discover that undercoat on a rump,
with a "4" blade, makes CORDUROY!
Lesson learned- keep groomEE out of direct sunlight....
and maybe no one will NOTICE the furry ridges!!! lol
BEFORE --- My Scottie 'Chia Pet'!
AFTER!!!
WHEW, that's BETTER!
Everything is OUTA place!!!
This calls for MEGA-rearranging!!!
 
WHAT can I say! LOOOOOOOOK at those faces!!!!
"Warrior Princess" and "Whistle Bait"!!!
(My boy takes one HECK of a photo!)
Need to work on his 'brows! LOL
Mam, you're DONE!
Don't you DARE pick up that brush!
DONE!!! DO YOU HEAR! DONE!
We now have 'furnishings' and a 'beard'!!
WHEEEEEEEEE!!!
THE END!!!
hahaha
(one of her 2 favorite positions... hussy being the OTHER! VEG)
And..... she feels like VELVET!!!!!
February 23, 2010
HUH ???
WHAT is it??? WHO is it??
Is it a BIRD?
Is it a PLANE?
Is it a Scottie having a HISSY FIT?
Is it a Scottie gone MAD?
EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEK!!!
Welllllllll, the "WHO"....we KNOW!
Riley...of the Prolific Beard!
But...... WHAT's he DOING????
The FULL story:
Katie, looking for trouble, woke Riley UP from a SOUND sleep!
She stuck her nose into his big, furry ear....
.... AND IT TICKLED!!!
Give Katie credit for knowing when to jump BACK ...
and CLOSE her eyes against the BEARD STORM!!!
And......how in this WORLD did I have 'camera in HAND'??
GENIUS??? Brilliant?? VEG
Try -- WAS taking "sleeping" photos!!! ROFL
February 18, 2010
KING CAKE!!!
Just as we settle after Mardi Gras,
and put away our doubloons and beads...
my sister sends us a SURPRISE!!!
A Randazzo KING CAKE arrived about an hour ago!!!
Overnight delivery... INSANELY fresh... OMG!!!
It's a TOUGH job....but we'll THROW ourselves into the task!
Cream Cheese filling...so FRESH and MOIST and YUMMY!
MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!!!
MINE!!! ALLLLLLLLLLLLL mine!
Oh, OKAY! SO it turns into a GROUP PROJECT!!
K&R love King Cake...but only get a tiny bit from each portion!
They just know it's sweet.... they don't REALIZE that THEIR portion is
dime-sized and MINE is NOTEBOOK sized!!! VEG
February 11, 2010
SNOW on the BAYOUS!!!
We've had snow MOST of the day, large, fluffy flakes...
but with temperatures hovering in mid 30's, it wasn't sticking.
Sunset.... temperatures begin to drop...
and the next line of snow showers arrives from Texas.
A VERY late yard trip, almost MIDNIGHT,
finds puffy snowflakes and accumulation!!
The WCGang has experienced snow before.....
but it's ALWAYS fun to watch!
Riley, ever the hunter/gatherer/food-a-holic...
Is it ICE CREAM?? It LOOKS like ice cream!
Not much TASTE to it!
Katie, the Browser/Dawdler champion --
What do ya MEAN, 'hurry UP'!!!
You SEE all this snow I have to INSPECT!?!?!
It's gonna take me HOURS to effectively catalog it all!!!
Just CHILL, Mam.... CHILL!!
Munch.....munch......munch....
AUGH...... BRAIN FREEZE!
OH, LOOK!!! There's a LOT MORE snow over THERE!
C'mon, let's go inspect THAT, TOO!!!
Living 'IN the MOMENT'....today...
meant playing in the snow, at MIDNIGHT!
January 24, 2010
Wild Child Gang - Preparing for THE GAME!
N.O. SAINTS NFC Championship game!
Bayou Scotties that they are...
They're practicing their BALL skills,
Determined to lend their paws to the
SAINTS WIN!!!!
GEAUXXXXXXX, SAINTS!!!
Katie takes the DIRECT approach....
running back, right up the MIDDLE!
Showing her teeth, GRIPPING that football...
That's a GUARANTEED Touchdown!!!
Riley, a powerful defensive lineman...
turns the opposition to MUSH...
taking the SPINE out of the Vikings!
VEG
Riley says, "LEMME 'at 'em!!!"
GEAUX, SAINTS!!
January 11, 2010
Katie, Warrior Princess
11 MONTHS in FULL Remission!!!
Arriving at the Internist's office for chemo,
Katie spends time playing ORB with Mindy, the vet tech.
Katie LOVES the attention she receives there!
After searching for squirrels from her chair,
Katie settles down to await her name being called.
She, being the ultimate NOSY Scotty, watches ALL activity!
Dr. T gives Katie an "A+" report... FULL REMISSION continues!
Katie then settles in for the ride home...
after a morning of ORB tossing and treat eating at the Vet's!
Who SAID vet trips were scary!!!
Well DONE, Warrior Princess!
November 23 - 27, 2009
Thanksgiving '09!
With Mom and Sis both visiting for the week,
and with K&R feeling GREAT,
there is MUCH for which we are THANKFUL!
Riley... the EPITOME of a Food-Driven Scotsman...
waited patiently for Mammaw to OFFER a nibble...
then EAGERLY threw himself on the offered morsel!
1 hedgehog -- 2 Scotties = One HUGE tug of war!
Katie (up) and Riley (floor)
share Connie's fortune cookie!
YUM!!!!
Don't even THINK that ya can block me with that leg
and not have to PLAY ball! NOT gonna happen!
HERE!!
Wait... *slurp* ...
ORBS make ya JUICY mouthed!!!
Found Riley a "mini-Gus" woobie!
He's a HAPPY Scotsman!!
THANKFUL for every MOMENT!
November 1, 2009
Riley Rambunctious -- The EASY LIFE!
The lad DOES like his 'creature comforts'!!
Tough life, huh!!
October 23, 2009
Katie's 11th BIRTHDAY Celebration!
This day was a GLORIOUS gift!!!
We celebrated in HIGH STYLE!
 
We visited TWO--- 2 --- different pet stores. She browsed, she shopped,
she climbed up ONTO the shelves, and shopped "up close and personal"!
She was fed treats on the PetCo check-out counter, by a very nice clerk,
she was "Happy Birthday-ed" by everyone there... she was a HAPPY girl!
Lots of fun, LOTS of good eats-- doughnuts 'n GREAT brisket!
Happy BIRTHDAY, WARRIOR PRINCESS!!!
August 18, 2009
Katie's ORB Expertise!
I keep SAYING that she's an EXPERT with those ORBS!
Tug of War with an ORB?? She holds it by its FUZZ!
A TINY bit of yellow fuzz, CLENCHED between her front teeth!
She gives the fuzz-held ORB a frenzied Death Shake...
then pushes it at ME....
"IF ya can CATCH it, Mam... I'll letcha play TUG with me!"
I've discovered that my reflexes aren't as SHARP as they ONCE were!
Katie??? Her ORB expertise is unparalleled!!!
And, her BEARD-lette is growing happily!!!
August 8, 2009
Fair is fair --
Riley deserves EQUAL TIME on the "ORB" discussion!
He sees NOOO useful purpose in Katie's tiny, yellow balls.
Riley wants a MAN-sized orb... a GUY orb!!
This is our 4th or 5th Woobie ORB!
I AM surprised it holds up as WELL as it does!
Riley's 'Woobie ORB' is ALWAYS the center of attention....
and has survived some VERY NOISY 'tug of war' discussions!
After 2-3 very exciting minutes of TUG-TALK,
Riley gives the "Woobie ORB" a wild SHAKE,
and claims HIS orb...for HIMSELF!
Riley is great at MULTI-tasking.....
his 'woobie ORB' serves SEVERAL purposes!!!
HIS 'woobie orb'....
his big, strong paw "holds his place"!
UH OH..... too many pics, too many FLASHES!
I get 'THE LOOK'!!
"MAM!!! Put DOWN the camera....and back away... SLOWLY!"
It was my OWN FAULT! I woke him UP!
His internal 'atomic clock' knew what time it was!!
"MAM....it's 4:54P.M.....it's SUPPERTIME! I'm STARVINGGGG!!"
BARK.......BARK, BARK.......BARK!!!
WHERE'D HE GO?????????????
All I said was, "Okay, SUPPER!"
August 3, 2009
Katie found a TENNIS BALL on our walk early this morning...
she raced over to the ORB, and with it gripped firmly in her mouth,
she sashayed home, head high... ANOTHER STOLEN ORB!
But, once in the house, I scooped her up to take her for her chemo treatment.
HOURS later, she walks BACK in the door.....and the FIRST THING SHE DOES???
She grabs that new ORB and spends some "quality time" with it!
The girl is OBSESSED with her ORBS!
The ORB queen checks out her new adoptee.
NAH, NAH..... she's NOT asleep!
..the mouth is CLOSED, the ball is FULLY compressed...
she's in ORB Nirvana right now!!! hehe
A BETTER angle of her ORB position....
well, not BETTER..... but it's CUTE!!!
Riley? He sees no PURPOSE in tennis balls.....
they're not EDIBLE!
Time OUT from the ORB.... to discuss HEDGEHOG ownership!
Epilogue: Riley won the "Hedgehog Discussion"! Katie chose her ORB!
July 2, 2009
Company's here!
Mammaw and Auntie are here visiting.... and K&R are thrilled!
Lots and lots of scritches....and TONS of TREATS!!!
Auntie Connie is serving TREATS!!!
And she has their UNDIVIDED attention!
One for HIM, one for HER!
Katie waits her turn... PATIENTLY!!
(Make a NOTE of THAT rare event! hehe)
Katie ups the ante!
She can receive treats AND continue her Squirrel Watch!
That's a good Auntie!!!!
Multi-talented....Treats to different muzzles at different ELEVATIONS!
Life's tough... it's a hard job nibbling treats and playing all day!
A girl has to get her ZZZZZZZ's when & where she CAN!
Riley?? NAP??? NEVER!!
Not when there are TREATS to be had!!!
ALWAYS watching for that next MORSEL!
A SURE THING!
Riley can ALWAYS talk MAMMAW into sharing!
NOTE: The LARGE woobie balls, one blue and one white,
are Riley's MOST treasured toys!!!
When he's not PLAYING with 'em, he uses 'em for PILLOWS!
My lad DOES love his comfort!!! hehe
June 15, 2009
Katie went for Chemo this morning...
As always, she trots in eagerly, makes a sharp left turn,
and sashays around behind the counter, to the vet techs at the desk.
I hand the vet techs the baggie filled with Katie's favorite treats,
and the Schmoozing begins!!! Katie turns into a wiggling, squirming EARLESS beggar!
She puts a full smile on her face, mouth open, eager for treats!
The vet techs oooooohhhhhhhh and aaaaahhhhhhhh over her, sweet talk her.....
And Katie Wild Child LOVESSSSSSSSS it!!
The baggie full of treats is passed from one vet tech to another...
and accompanies Katie back to her chemo treatment, where she is served treats
throughout the visit.
Katie arrives....and immediately makes her presence known...
she wiggles, she wags all over, her ears disappear.....
She's doing her BEST "I'm cute... TREAT ME!" maneuvers!
Treats are NOT being dispensed as quickly as the Warrior Princess would LIKE!
This requires a more DEMANDING approach!
OBSERVATION: The Warrior Princess doesn't HOLD a GRUDGE!
Word is, she will NOT take a treat from the vet just prior to the Cath IV being inserted.
HOWEVER, when I encouraged the Vet to TRY AGAIN, as we were preparing to leave, much later...
Katie happily and eagerly ACCEPTED the treat from Dr. T!!!
May 27, 2009
A slight difference in PRIORITIES!
Riley, distinguished....and STARVING... waits for a handout!
Katie focuses TOTALLY on her ORBS, as always!
Katie's 'grey peach fuzz' is growing back...
but the 'sleek look' makes holding her ORBS much simpler!
She LOVES to hold her ORBS by their "FUZZ"!
April 28, 2009
After 2+ months of chemo, Katie has lost some of her beard around her nose.
Never one to let a little FUR LOSS slow her down, she keeps on keeping on....
too busy screaming at squirrels, chasing bunnies, and running birds out of
her 'no fly zone' to worry about a little cosmetic issue!
Katie and Riley see nothing out of the ordinary.
Life moves on!
The Warrior Princess... fearless ... with the heart of a lion!
Katie's 'grey peach fuzz' muzzle...soft as silk, and growing BACK!
The TINY bit of red visible in her mouth, is her loaded JACK KONG!
The glazed eyes, and 45 degree angle on the ears show her total JOY!
'KAY, Mam... I emptied the Jack Kong!
LOAD 'er back UP!!! Let's DO IT AGAIN!
Riley, always the food fiend, KNOWS I have treats!
WHY is he on the stool??? To be CLOSER to the food!
They're both impatiently awaiting the reloaded Jack Kongs!
OKAY, MAM......all right already!!!
PUT the camera down, and back away SLOWLY!!!!!
Load the Kongs and let's get ONNNNN with it!
April 7, 2009
We're making special "Operation GOOD VIBES"
trips to the Vet... to keep Katie's mind POSITIVE
about our FREQUENT trips to the vet for chemo.
We've had GREAT success!
She rears up on the door when we turn into the drive...
She eagerly saunters into the clinic, then proceeds
RIGHT on around behind the desk!
She's now totally spoiled, and EXPECTS everyone to shower her with treats!
"OPERATION GOOD VIBES" is a roaring success!!
EQUAL OPPORTUNITY REPORT:
Riley also had a 'private trip' this day....
bank drive-thru, and PetCo... where he replaced his favorite GIANT, fuzzy
woobie ball, picked out a tennis ball for Katie, then helped select which
treats we'd scoop into our bag at the 'scoop-a-treat buffet" counter!
WHY no Riley PHOTOS??
HANDS FULL with giant woobie ball, 2 tennis balls, a bag
being filled with scoops of yummy goodies....and the leash of one VERY
vocal Scotsman, who's dancing and prancing and strutting and rearing up,
trying to REACH the scoopful of treats!
Simply NOT enough HANDS!!! hehe

March 12, 2009
One day after a major chemo treatment
AND a 'Partial Remission' report from the vet...
the "WARRIOR PRINCESS" parties on!!!
Neither lymphoma... or major chemo meds...
will interfere with ORB OBSESSION!
MAM: "Katie, CLEAN up that MESS!"
KATIE: "ME?!!?!?!! WHATTTTTT MESS????????"
Ahhhhh!!! AN ORB!
MMMMMMMM.....
Katie enjoys an ORB moment....
RILEY?? My shadow... ALWAYS!
Anything that Katie does, Riley will follow!
Katie moves off for a nap...
RILEY moves in, to take on HIS favorite woobie....
the green monster SPIDER!
An action pic....he's giving his spider a wicked shake!
TRUST ME, TRULY!
hehe
AFTER a vigorous 'spider shake', he moves to his OTHER
favorite toy, the green woobie turtle, with crackly sounding feet! LOL
NOTE: See tongue!
"Spider Shake" caused beard in MOUTH... PA-TOOEY!
February 25, 2009
Making memories involves enjoying the LITTLE things!
Soooo, after a trip outside, we celebrate with LOTS of water...
THENNNNNN, it's time for a TREAT!

February 12, 2009
GROOMING DAY..... again!
Beautiful day, 65 degrees, gentle breeze...
LET'S give HAIRCUTS!!
Katie volunteered....well, she was DRAFTED to go first!
She was a good girl, very cooperative, tolerant, and patient.
THENNNNNN, it was over.....she was DONE!
Racing back into the house, she frapped, she ran, she rolled, she rooted!
Katie smiles broadly...
"WHEWWWWWWWWWWWWW...... THAT'S over!!!"
What's a post-grooming celebration...
without an ORB!
Riley's turn for a haircut...
he's a good boy, but it's not his favorite pastime!
Katie spends the entire time teasing him... WC humor!
After-Grooming GROUP photo... Katie's STILL smiling!
Riley's TIRED of this 'foo-foo' business!
"Hold still, Riley... lemme see if Mam trimmed your ears right!"
January 17, 2009
Riley went to the vet this morning...
routine trip... a couple of shots... check-up by vet.
Nothing to worry about!
Riley STRUTS into vet's office,
NOTIFIES the large hound at the counter that a SCOTTIE was now
in the building...
and assumed his stiff-legged 'macho pose'!
Hound?? Ignored the brash, NOISY Scottie!
Once in the exam room, Riley secured the perimeter,
and pronounced the room safe for habitation.
Finally TIRING of his patrol duties, Riley... ALWAYS the distinguished Scotsman,
hopped up on the corner seat....and AWAITED HIS FATE!!!
My handsome Scotsman...
ALWAYS suave, always "way cool"!!
Afterwards, as I checked out, Mr. Riley was FULL of himself...
dancing, prancing, strutting, telling the WORLD he'd SURVIVED his ordeal!
Drove through a VERY good barbecue, to get some smoked brisket & ham...
lady handed us our order......with some smoked meat wrapped in paper laying on top.
"That's for the CUTIE," she said, pointing to Riley, who was standing on the
console, watching!
The nice lady gave him some smoked meat for visiting!!!!
Free FOOD!!! Riley considers the day a TOTAL SUCCESS!!!
'scuse the image......taken with cellphone! LOL
October 14, 2008
Katie Wild Child GOT MAIL!

September 18, 2008
GROOMING DAY!
Cooler weather, beautiful sunny day.... let's GROOM the furkids!!
It takes a while.... what with muzzle kisses, sweet talking, and such.
But, FINALLY.... Katie and Riley are Gorgeous!!!
SOOOOOOO, what's the first thing Mam does?
Pose her SPIFFY furkids in LSU kerchiefs!!! hehe
As SOON as the kerchiefs come off....Riley crashes!
Katie WAS asleep... UNDER the bed!
But, ever the DIVA.....she heard the digital camera turn on!!! LOL
February 3, 2008
SUPER BOWL SUNDAY!!
Since our LSU isn't a contender (hehe), we're watching the PUPPY BOWL!
Riley has NO interest, as there is no TENOR in the group that'd catch his ear!
Katie, on the other hand......
she is INCENSED by the puppies' noisy invasion of HER space!
Katie prepares to tell OFF the puppies....
but is brought to a stop by the puppy antics!
She watches... fascinated!!!
Katie growls....then BARKS loudly...
this gal is used to being OBEYED!
Hmmmmmmmmm, bet they won't pay her ANY ATTENTION!!!
November 24, 2007
A WCGang report... on the road!
Katie and Riley have spent the last several weeks in New Orleans ---
keeping the neighborhood in line and enforcing Katie's "no-fly-zone"!
Riley(L) watches as Katie races off...
to tell off a commercial airliner that flew OVER "her" space!
Birds, squirrels, PLANES, helicopters...
all are fair game for the Wild Child!
POLL QUESTION - when YOUR furchildren run, how do they hold their tails??
Riley holds his straight up....Katie always holds hers like a 'J'!
Katie takes a very ACTIVE role in yard patrol!
Riley prefers the more PASSIVE approach to yard protection!!
Yard Guard duties over, Katie relaxes in the cool grass..
kicking her paws up in celebration of chasing off the "nasty ole airliner"!
Riley, ever vigilant, guards against the evil
"barker" in the next yard!
Okay, we know WHO this is.....
BUT---- can you tell WHICH end is UP...
ORRRRRRRR---- where the BARKING end is?!?!?!
October 23, 2007
Today is Katie Wild Child's NINTH Birthday!!!!
Katie definitely lives 'in the moment' and faces life on her OWN terms!
The one, the ONLY......
KATIE WILD CHILD
turned 9 today!!
Katie went SHOPPING today.....
and after MUCH browsing, sniffing, and shelf-shopping
she made her selection ... a BALL.....
wellllllll, actually.... SEVERAL balls!!
After shopping stops at TWO toy stores,
AND a trip through the Krispy Kreme drive-thru,
Katie brought her chosen toy HOME!
What followed was 30 blissful minutes with her new ball,
snorting, grunting, rolling, licking and mouthing her new FAVORITE toy!!
AND.... where is this favored ball NOW????
Let's just say, Riley grabbed it...
and within 3 bites had split the ball wide open!!!!!!!
It's a GONER.... done for... TOAST!!!
But, while it lived.......ahhhhhh, Katie had a BALL!! hehe
September 15, 2007 --- New Orleans
Riley's FIRST "floor woobie" was found last December
at Walgreen's.
He LOVES his "Gus"... it makes a GREAT pillow for a Scottie lad's naptime.
And, when playtime arrives... "Gus" makes a GREAT woobie for "death shakes"!
THEN, this past week, we made a trip to Sam's...
and found a bin FILLED with SUPER-GUS woobies!!!
TWICE the size of Riley's beloved Gus, "GOLIATH" went home to meet Riley!
"Gus" (L) and "GOLIATH" (R)...
floor woobies beyond a Scottie lad's wildest DREAMS!
"Gus" (L) and "GOLIATH" (R)...
with an "UNNAMED" Scottie lad right in the MIDST of these giant woobies!
Riley gets cozy with "GOLIATH"...
Naptime becomes SERIOUS...
as Riley cuddles up with his new GIANT woobie!
Riley admits that it's TOUGH being a Wild Child...
but a Scottie lad does what he MUST to carry on!!!!!!
NOTE: You can't IMAGINE the scene when Riley gives GOLIATH a "death shake"!!
KATIE???
She has NOOO use for the giant woobies!!!
They're not ORBS!!!!!!!!
