I did a terrible thing last night. I opened the front door and Pepper got her foot caught, I think, under in it. In my defence she was totally in the way, trying to get out before I had even opened the door properly. Terriers do not wait nicely. Anyway, it was all awful. Lots […]
Ducks and Pepper | My Shetland
No, this isn’t a recipe for duck and pepper. We are not that kind of page (!!shocked!!). We don’t eat family ever, not anyone, though sometimes some of us need a bit of reminding. I guess the ducks are used to Pepper because she was around when they hatched, albeit the other side of a […]
Happy 2nd Gotcha Day to Pepper
This time, two years ago, Daisy and I brought Pepper and her sister home on the boat. Pepper’s sister was quickly dispatched to her new owner and the two puppies went their separate ways. This photo is Pepper’s first – when we met her in Aberdeen. Notice the iron-hand grip. Already Pepper had ideas. And […]

Pepper, No!
This is the face of someone who got told off for wanting to introduce herself to the ducklings. And when I say “introduce”, it wasn’t in a nice way. Think gastronomic and I found her in the new duckling run. We have no idea how she got in there. Friends, not food! So now we […]
Happy Birthday, Pepper | My Shetland
Today is Pepper’s 2nd birthday, so happy birthday, little Pepper-pot. You’ve changed our lives for the better and we’ve made new friends, mostly from having her brought home by complete strangers! And here are a few photos from today’s dogwalk with Ted, whose doing great as well. He does not get brought home by strangers […]
Pepper and her Friends | My Shetland
To the Minions’ field this morning with my little helper, Pepper. It has become our thing. Ted is no good because he has anxiety and runs away. I swear if he could find the M25 he would be under the first lorry he could find. Anyway, I will just leave all these photos here so […]
Oh, Pepper!
Feeding Fivla and Vitamin this morning, while the others looked on (having had their carrot ration), I noticed Pepper was chatting to the ponies. Ted stays well away – sensible lad. Pepper is very confident around the ponies. She goes round introducing herself to them and they are very kind to her. Very kind indeed. […]
Pepper Nose Kisseys | My Shetland
Pepper is very good around the horses and ponies and, mostly, they are all very good around her too, with the exception of Silver who would like to chase and possibly stamp, if he could. I do not encourage this one bit. Yesterday, I was sitting on a rock in the field when Tiddles and […]
