Pierre is almost ready for adoption...

So basically, Pierre (if that's his real name) is fluent in both 'MOOCHING' and 'COUCH'. He has no interest in cats and simply avoids even speaking to them. His voice is reminiscent of Sam Elliot as he has a very quiet gruff. When he needs to go potty, he will woof several times (although he uses the same woof when he wants to come downstairs and sit on the couch also). Ears, belly and back scratching is without a doubt a favorite way to please him and he will give ample opportunity for you to indulge. Popcorn is his 'go-to' food of choice unless you have something else in hand. We have noticed that scary movies are his favorite thing to watch, but will lay on the couch if you need to watch the news.

got to www.scottierescue.com and watch for him!

Ms. Heather is here...

Take a look at Ms. Heather, she may be your new best friend. She has just been spayed, so it will be a couple weeks before she can be properly groomed. However, she is a good girl, loves back scratchings and has taken up with Savannah. The cats don't bother her, the other scots have yet to be introduced more than a quick hello. Contact http://www.scottierescue.com for application/info...

Looks like Ms. Heather is coming to stay wirh us... pictures to follow. BTW, she is a Wheaton and needs a good home.

(WARNING:) You should not give a 2 year old scottie a "PUP"cake without moving out all of the furniture in your house. Just a word of advice...

General Merchandise...

This is an old store in Sulphur Springs, TN. I pass this daily and between me and Mike we have photographed it from every angle possible. It makes good practice for HDR photos.

Last gate...

Last gate before the cabin... getting this far is about a 50/50 reward. You've made it, but still have to go up hill even more.

Christopher Taylor Cabin

In 1788, future U.S. president Andrew Jackson spent several months in Jonesborough awaiting a caravan. Jackson lodged at the cabin belonging to Major Christopher Taylor, located about a mile outside of town. Built around 1777 and subsequently in 1974, this cabin was removed from its original spot and reconstructed in the town's park. According to local legend, Jackson's ghost occasionally appears in the cabin's vicinity. The ghost supposedly walks up to the front door and disappears into the building. The ghost has also been seen walking down the street, in the direction of the old courthouse.
