New resident at Roskhill Barn

Yesterday we made another trip to Inverness, and came home with a new addition to the population of Roskhill.

Meet Cupar the Collie...


He is probably less than 2 years old, and was found as a stray. Today, we have discovered what people mean when they say that Collies are good at training their owners, but we think we are just about on top so far, though we have had four walks today already..... (Sue did mutter something about me needing to lose an inch or two from my waistline).

Unfortunately, the weather here today is becoming ever more wet and stormy, so we are in for a bit of a blow when it comes to the late afternoon 'walkies' in a few minutes' time!

I'm sure Sue and I will be posting plenty more news and pictures soon.

Glad to see he's arrived. I like the spelling of his name. I'm sure you'll have lots of fun with him. Look forward to seeing more pics.

Best wishes.

Hi Pete, Day two now, and we're getting to know each other. He's been asleep for the last hour, since his 3-mile pre-breakfast walk...!

The spelling of his name is from the Scottish town, but the 'Cooper' spelling would be to follow-on from a little tradition I have for naming dogs after car makers.

He is 'Coops' for short.

He certainly seems a lovely chap Richard, Sue very kindly introduced him to us earlier and hes going to make a smashing dog of that im sure.
