My time on earth before my spirit goes to The Land Beyond is just about upon me. So without pontificating you may ask what my greatest achievement is? Is it defending Mistress Fotini and Master Andrew from a vicious Black Lab attack or doing battle with that demented maniac Sheppard Layla? No, it is winningContinue reading “Memories of Dylan Stephen: A Westie Now in The Land Beyond: The Greatest Power of West Highland Terriers: Love and Affection”

Memories of Dylan Stephen: A Westie Now in The Land Beyond: Mindfulness and Dogs: Live in the Moment
Master Robert has been certified by two universities in mindfulness. I listened in to one or two of his courses on ZOOM during that accursed COVID. Lots of living in the moment, acceptance, forgiveness, meditation and lots of stuff my limited vocabulary prevented me from understanding. On one of our walks Master Robert tried toContinue reading “Memories of Dylan Stephen: A Westie Now in The Land Beyond: Mindfulness and Dogs: Live in the Moment”
RKS 2023 Wine: Wallet Friendly Fizz: Prosecco
I suspect many of my readers enjoy a glass of Champagne every once and awhile. Many I know see a bottle of sparkling wine and erroneously call it Champagne. I used to cringe hearing this but saw no use going into a fuller description of how Champagne is made and that it must be madeContinue reading “RKS 2023 Wine: Wallet Friendly Fizz: Prosecco”
Memories of Dylan Stephen: A Westie Now in The Land Beyond: To Crate or not to Crate That is the San Quentin Question
Master Robert had strong views against ever crating me. With his last two dogs Suzy and Ginny in the 1960’s and early 1970’s crates were never used. Mistress Fotini and logic prevailed however and a crate was decided upon. A crate provides a safe nook for a West Highland Terrier. A place to call theirContinue reading “Memories of Dylan Stephen: A Westie Now in The Land Beyond: To Crate or not to Crate That is the San Quentin Question”
Memories of Dylan Stephen: A Westie Now in The Land Beyond: Pure Bliss of a Green West Highland Terrier
A popular question posed by all my canine buddies to each other here in The Land Beyond is what your happiest moment on earth was. Although the answers are different one element in common is FREEDOM.

Almost all of us realize we areContinue reading “Memories of Dylan Stephen: A Westie Now in The Land Beyond: Pure Bliss of a Green West Highland Terrier”
Memories of Dylan Stephen: A Westie Now in the Land Beyond: Oscar Night Flying Leap: Westie Down!!!
Aside from my brief flirtation with skin issues and a wee heart murmur I lived a healthy life. For the 2023 Oscars I was watching them in a room I do not ordinarily watch television in with Mistress Fotini. After the red-carpet fashion nonsense I fell asleep on the sofa. I mean why no WestiesContinue reading “Memories of Dylan Stephen: A Westie Now in the Land Beyond: Oscar Night Flying Leap: Westie Down!!!”
Memories of Dylan Stephen: A Westie Now in the Land Beyond: Playtime! Attack on the Vacuum Cleaner
West Highland Terriers require their play time. Yes dog owners your dog loves to play. You can’t simply abandon your dog and ignore us! In my younger days I loved chasing the ball or a frisbee. But why was Master Robert always yelling at me to return with the ball or the Frisbee? I couldContinue reading “Memories of Dylan Stephen: A Westie Now in the Land Beyond: Playtime!

RKS Literature: The Supreme Mr. Dombey (Charles Dickens)
“Mr. Dombey was resolved to show her that he was supreme. There must be no will but his. Proud he desired that she should be, but she must be proud for him, not against him.

RKS 2023 Literature: The Great Mr. Dombey (Charles Dickens)
“Towards his first wife, Mr. Dombey, in his cold and lofty arrogance, had borne himself like the removed being he almost conceived himself to be. He had been “Mr. Dombey” with her when she first saw him, and he was “Mr. Dombey” when she died. He had asserted his greatness during their married life, andContinue reading “RKS 2023 Literature: The Great Mr. Dombey (Charles Dickens)”
