After a long search for a peerie sister for Sparky, we finally picked up Maggie on Friday.We have been looking for a Border Terrier for a while now, and finally found a litter just outside Aberdeen, belonging to a lovely man called Bob. 'Me Man' had been down to see them a few weeks ago and chose one.
So we now had the problem of getting Maggie up here. British Airways were going to charge over £100 for her to fly unaccompanied, which was ridiculous. But we finally found a way through Scatsta Airport (they couldn't have been more helpful, and there was no charge!).
So we arrived at Scatsta on Friday at 1pm and watched the plane come into land, only for it to take off back into the clouds without hitting the tarmac, I was told that it was too windy and the plane was on its way to Sumburgh (approx 50-60 miles away), so we all got in the car and headed South, I called on the way down to make sure it had landed and was told that yes it had touched down and all the passengers, including Maggie were on a bus on their way back up to Scatsta, so again we turned around and headed back North.
The bus arrived a little later, and there was a very nice lady who had volunteered to take the puppy on board, and had managed to get her a seat in the cabin in her box. So Maggie travelled in style up front in the big jet plane. But with a face like that how could you resist.
Sparky was a little unsure to begin with, I don't think he thought she was a dog, until she started nipping his, feet, ears, bum and pretty much anything else she could reach! But it's looking like thy will be the best of friends!
