West Highland Terriers, like so many other dogs, love food action. By that I mean patiently waiting as our human masters prepare food in their kitchens. Is it instinct that has us vacuum up anything that “falls” on the floor by our keen noses. Yes I was not born yesterday so I know sometimes ourContinue reading “Memories of Dylan Stephen: A Westie Now in the Land Beyond: West Highland Terrier Vacuum Cleaner Pays the Price!”

Memories of Dylan Stephen: A Westie Now in the Land Beyond: The Art of Polite “Begging”
I remember Master Robert reading Mistress Fotini an article from the New York Times about how we dogs have survived so close to humans for many years. Apparently, the author believed dogs conned humans for food so successfully they assured themselves survival. Balderdash. Many pet owners refer to dogs “begging” for food. How insulting! IContinue reading “Memories of Dylan Stephen: A Westie Now in the Land Beyond: The Art of Polite “Begging””
Dylan Stephen West Highland Terrier Memories From the Land Beyond: A Vicious Snarling Brute: Master Robert Saves the Day!
I love walking all over town and even downtown but as a West Highland Terrier I have my favourite circuit where I walk Master Robert. West Highland Terriers walk their masters in case you haven’t heard! I have serious business responding to replies to my messages…you know pee mail and all that. One day smellingContinue reading “Dylan Stephen West Highland Terrier Memories From the Land Beyond: A Vicious Snarling Brute: Master Robert Saves the Day!”

RKS Literature: Mrs. Dombey’s Mourning Period (Charles Dickens)
“That small world, like the great one out of doors, had the capacity of easily forgetting its dead; and when the cook had said it was the common lot, and the butler had said who’d have thought it, and the housemaid had said she couldn’t hardly believe it, and the footman had said it seemedContinue reading “RKS Literature: Mrs. Dombey’s Mourning Period (Charles Dickens)”
RKS Literature: Mr. Dombey’s Wife as a Chattel (Charles Dickens)
“He was not a man of whom it could properly be said that he was ever startled or shocked; but he certainly had a sense within him, that if his wife should sicken and decay, he would be very sorry and that he would find something gone from among his plate and furniture, and otherContinue reading “RKS Literature: Mr. Dombey’s Wife as a Chattel (Charles Dickens)”
RKS Literature: The Raunchy Prince Valkovsky (Dostoevsky)
“I love influence, honours, good hotels, a huge stake at cards (I adore cards). But the main, most important thing is women….women in all theirs shapes and forms. I even go for debauchery, that’s covert, secretive, and the more eccentric and depraved the better, even with a whiff of sordidness for extra delectation….HaHaHa! You shouldContinue reading “RKS Literature: The Raunchy Prince Valkovsky (Dostoevsky)”
RKS Literature: The Dark Underbelly of St. Petersburg (Dostoevsky)
“It was a strange story of a mysterious, in many respects barely credible relationship between a demented old man and his little granddaughter, who had fathomed him out thoroughly, mature beyond her years in the comprehension of what to other children, living in more stable and comfortable conditions, would remain a closed book till aContinue reading “RKS Literature: The Dark Underbelly of St. Petersburg (Dostoevsky)”
RKS Literature: The Lost Soul of Russians (Dostoevsky)
“He was getting steadily more drunk and maudlin. Masloboyev had always been a fine fellow, level-headed but rather too clever by half; sly, astute, devious and a scallywag from his school days, but deep down quite a softie-a lost soul. There are many amongst the Russians. They’re often endowed with considerable talent, but somehow theyContinue reading “RKS Literature: The Lost Soul of Russians (Dostoevsky)”
RKS Literature: Affection and Humour
“Affections are not impaired by being tempered with a touch of benevolent laughter. Indeed, I would almost be prepared to risk a generalization and say that all true affections are tempered with laughter. For affection implies intimacy: and one cannot be intimate with another human being without discovering something to laugh at in his orContinue reading “RKS Literature: Affection and Humour”
