MY BIG DIG AND THE GREAT OPOSSUM SCARE Golly gee, I love digging a speciality of West Highland Terriers. I live to hunt prey (and perhaps a crust of bread and cheese too!) and there was an apparent collision between hunting and digging last night. Several days ago, due to global warming, we saw anContinue reading ““Lost in Puppydom: Rory Dylan Stephen’s Puppydom”: MY BIG DIG AND THE GREAT OPOSSUM SCARE”

“Lost in Puppydom: Rory Dylan Stephen’s Puppydom”: RORY CONTEMPLATES HIS DESTINY AND SENSE OF COMMUNITY
RORY CONTEMPLATES HIS DESTINY AND SENSE OF COMMUNITY I was born late August 2025 in Denfield, Ontario.

RORY’S POSEIDON ADVENTURE Bob and I watched “The Poseidon Adventure” with Gene Hackman, Ernest Borgnine and Shelley Winters the other day on Turner Classic Movies. A passenger ship sinking!

I AM THE WHITE ROCKET BUT SOMETIMES SMELL LIKE AN EARTHWORM Over and over you read and hear West Highland Terriers have a digging and a strong prey instinct.

“Lost in Puppydom: Rory Dylan Stephen’s Puppydom”: POST TRAUMATIC STRESS DISORDER AFTER GERMAN SHEPPARD ATTACK
POST TRAUMATIC STRESS DISORDER AFTER GERMAN SHEPPARD ATTACK Bob and I were taking one of our many daily walks. Bob is of the view a tired dog is a happy dog. He sure has that one right. On I trundle on a miserable winter day and I feel Bob tighten up.

“Lost in Puppydom: Rory Dylan Stephen’s Puppydom”: RORY INSPIRED BY THE SOUND OF MUSIC!
RORY INSPIRED BY THE SOUND OF MUSIC! I had been listening to radio and television advertisements promoting a revival of the musical “The Sound of Music”. Bob groans in pain hearing the refrain, “….climb every mountain” and on occasion he howls like a wolf after he listens to it. Well I find it catchy. IContinue reading ““Lost in Puppydom: Rory Dylan Stephen’s Puppydom”: RORY INSPIRED BY THE SOUND OF MUSIC!”

MATTERS ARE NOT WHAT THEY APPEAR TO BE: OUR SECURITY TEAM AND BOB’S GLOCK Bob is fond of saying we inhabit a “modest cottage” on a quiet street in Toronto’s Bridlepath area. Bob and Fay purchased the late musician Gordon Lightfoot’s home and gently renovated it a few years ago. That musician Drake is ourContinue reading ““Lost in Puppydom: Rory Dylan Stephen’s Puppydom”: MATTERS ARE NOT WHAT THEY APPEAR TO BE: OUR SECURITY TEAM AND BOB’S GLOCK”
“Lost in Puppydom: Rory Dylan Stephen’s Puppydom”: BRAVE NEW WORLD
BRAVE NEW WORLD As a FOB, as all puppies are, life graduates in excitement day after day assuming you have caring and attentive masters. Arriving at Bob and Fay’s house was an eyeopener after being born in a kennel. The backyard was a new world of sights and smells. Chasing squirrels is a thrill. RunningContinue reading ““Lost in Puppydom: Rory Dylan Stephen’s Puppydom”: BRAVE NEW WORLD”

THE HOLY GRAIL CALLS BUT I KNOW NOT WHY Today it is my third walk around the block. I met Remy for the first time who is three times my size but so very calm. She let me sniff her. Jump on her side. All this was exciting. I am seeing the outside world andContinue reading ““Lost in Puppydom: Rory Dylan Stephen’s Puppydom”: THE HOLY GRAIL CALLS BUT I KNOW NOT WHY”

RORY’S REFLECTIONS ON 2025 AND RESOLUTIONS FOR 2026 Can anything be more momentous than the year of your birth? Could anything be more disastrous than being placed with an unloving and mean family? This is not the case for me thank the stars above. I have a loving family. My bowl is full of tastyContinue reading ““Lost in Puppydom: Rory Dylan Stephen’s Puppydom”: RORY’S REFLECTIONS ON 2025 AND RESOLUTIONS FOR 2026”
