This photo was taken the day before she
left us.
~Miss
Scarlet was very
special in her own
Little way!~
She
was only 12'' tall
& "The
Queen Bee"
around here!
Scarlet,
lived to be 15 years
8 months old.
She
was barely 3 oucnes
at birth, a bottle
baby for 6 weeks.
Scarlet
won such a special
place in our hearts
we couldn't
bear
to part with her.
Make no mistake
tho' this is not
the
size
we breed for, you
rarely get'um this
small.
Scarlet
has always been
the most comforting
companion
pet
in every sense,
she out lived her
3 litter mates to
boot!
As
some would call
her the"Grand
Dam" here at
Nandina.
Respectfully
so since she hands
down her legacy
which
is to teach all
our other sheltie
kids the
"Rules
Of The Inn!"

PM Scarlet earned
her angel wings
and went
to see her father
Cochise, her mother
Callie, and her
best fur buddy
Spanky,
as well as our other
Nandina children
at the Bridge.
How
I Envy Her!!!
I
do believe I heard
her whisper to me
as we shared one
last kiss.
"I
will meet you at
the Bridge when
it is your time
mom......"

One
of my favorite stories
of the life and
times
of
Scarlet's Legacy.
"The
Hunk and the Drunk"
About
12 years ago Scarlet
and I took a girls
weekend off in October
and headed
to
the beach. What
a wonderful time
we planned to have!
The weather was
beautiful
and
the beach was even
more serene.
After checking in
our hotel Scarlet
and I
decided it would
be nice the spend
the last part of
the afternoon down
by the water.
So we packed a beach
bag and off we went.
Scarlet much like
her dad Cochise
was a "salty
dog" as they
say, for they loved
the beach, the surf
and sand.
They would play
for hours fetching
the frisbee jumping
over the smaller
curling
waves
to get that toy.
They were so cute
as the two of them
would bring it back
holding
onto it together.
On this particular
day we laid down
our blanket and
had
our cool drink.
Just as we were
getting comfy, over
stroles this tall
well
tanned gorgeous
life guard!
Ahhhhh... I
am thinking I still
have IT! LOL!
Well
much to my surprise
this hunky fellow
came over to flirt
with Scarlet....hummm?
He
was nice to mention
that she could play
on his beach as
long
as she wanted
too for she was
just so cute!
He said his goodbye
and headed back
to
his
perch on the lifeguards
stand. OK,
guess I could accept
that.
Then
just as I began
to relax, down the
beach comes this
man on a bycicle....
weaving
and not to stable
on his set of wheels.
He pulls up to us
and begans to
start a conversation
with me.....but
when the slurred
speach came I knew
he had
been drinking...and
a LOT! Just
my luck, now I got
to get rid of this
jerk
so he
will
not follow me back
to my hotel.
I gracefully said
I had friends to
meet
and
took a walk down
the beach.
To my surprise when
I returned he was
still
hanging
around so now what
was I to do?
I glanced over to
see a group of
senior
citizens, brilliant!
I went over to ask
if Scarlet and I
could join them
because of the man
that
was pestering us.
Of course they were
happy to allow
us
to pal up with them.
So for the rest
of the 3 day holiday
Scarlet and I hung
out
with the senior
citizens and enjoyed
every minute.
We had a blast!
So as the story
goes Scarlet got
the Hunk and I got
the Drunk....ggggggg!
