Weather 2008

[TC]

I was at the Bonspiel on the Lake of Menteith in the winter of 62/63.  Although I had never played the game before, my colleague was a member of the Royal Caledonian Curling Club and I was dragged along to make up the numbers.  We played against the Howe of Fife and I cannot remember much about it except it seemed to be an excuse for drinking copious amounts of whisky ostensibly to keep out the cold.

Great spooky photos, Anthony.... if Heidi didn't have that smart red coat on, she'd pass for a ghostly hound  indeed in that lighting! Helps you find her in the gloaming, too!
Can't resist showing you Lily,  doing her Christmas coat photo shoot....

I dont like dogs in coats but that is cute

[Maggi Young]

Most dogs are like us, nowadays, Mark... they live in centrally heated homes, so they don't have the coats and constitutions that they once would have had... a coat is no bad thing in such cases..... a whippet without a coat in even a UK winter would be a dead whippet, pretty quickly!  Santa suits notwithstanding, a joke for two minutes indoors;  Lily has a rather natty quilted red tartan waterproof coat for bad weather wear .....and very chic she looks, too.
