Hi!! My name is Angel. And though most are fooled by my charm and personality, i am the devil in disguise. My sisters and brothers and i were born on the 16th of May, 2002, and we are the first skye terrier litter in Luxembourg in almost 50 years.
Sadly, our sister Spring did not make it past the first 24 hours . It made mom Dora and Shalini and Josh so sad. But all the mischief we got up to kept them so busy. We were able to move around our big whelping box and Louis and Diamant aka Marius (later renamed Zip) and I already figured out ways to get out of the thing. They did do it though. Me, i stayed in my space and tried to stay out of trouble. (Yeah! Right!! And miss the fun!! Are you kidding!!)
On day 8, Aunt Vivian came to visit and we ate are first meal of mush. It was yummy and she could not get it in her hands fast enough for us to scarf it down. We loved it. I think she knew that - we bit down on her fingers in joy so much that Aunt Vivian laughed and called us the ‘blood suckers.’ Well, in my case it is true. We loved playing and biting fingers to prick. Its that whole bonding ritual, you know.
On the 14th day, we opened our eyes and though it was great to see what we had been smelling for days, it made no difference. We had already figured ways out of the whelping box and Marius was walking all around as were the rest of us.
We played and ate and played and ate and life was great.
Then came the vets and the shots and the chips. UGGH!!! They were such a drag. Though they don’t take very long to do ,it is more the paperwork and the fussing that is stressful. I often got mistaken for my look alike twin brother Spencer (Donder). I would run in front of him and loved confusing everyone. But it was great, we got spoiled for good behavior, treats and cuddles and oohs and aahs. The best part was that we got passports that marked the start of our jet set life. Travels and shows. I guess, it was worth it!!!
As we grew older, it dawned on us that though we were inseparable , the day that we wold move away was fast approaching. Slowing the others left. I was still around and that was great. I loved being with mom Dora and did not want to go. Besides, I was Grand Aunt Merrique’s favorite so i was gonna be staying. IT WAS THE BEST!!
Our roads have taken us to new homes and families, New counties and continents and languages. Through it all however, we are still the proud and darling children of Wallace and Pandora and we carry with us their elegance, charm and personalities. A compliment that is true to this day about us. And as we continue to grow and mark the show world with our wins and losses, we know one thing, it is great when the others visit and spend the day with us.
Spring is still with us in our hearts and prayers and has been laid to rest in the garden and we all visit her every chance we get. Through it all we are the SKYE COVEN. And proud of it. So love us, hate us, envy us, whatever your heart desires, we are the future and the pride of wally and dora. And the joy of Shalini and Josh. Like i say, don’t be taken in by my charm, i am the devil in disguise. My name is Angel!! What’s yours???????’’
