Because we are having holiday forum tonight.
I was chatting with my sister and she told me that Paisley was the right name for the puppy and that is all that needs to be said.

aawwwww……. Purdie widdle cutie puppy dawgies. :)
……. and Paisley sounds just about right. :)
It has been worn by everyone from Queen Victoria to The Beatles. It is instantly recognised across the world. And it is as iconic and fashionable today as it was when it put a small Scottish town at the centre of the global textile trade.
The Paisley Pattern changed everything for Paisley.
The intricate and beautiful hand-woven designs of the Kashmir shawl originated in India in the 11th century – the most popular and recognisable was the teardrop motif.
As the designs made their way to western Europe in the latter half of the 18th century, they became a symbol of wealth and status among upper- class women.
The Paisley shawl began as an attempt by European manufacturers to imitate this rare and expensive product. Producing the Kashmir shawl on looms required an extremely high level of skill and technology – only a small number of weaving centres in Europe were placed to meet the challenge.
Paisley was one, and the expertise and technical skill Paisley weavers had developed while producing fine silk gauzes and figured muslins meant they were well -equipped to take on the weaving of these ‘imitation’ shawls.
Up until this point, weaving had been something of a cottage industry. But the introduction of the jacquard loom and the innovations of the Paisley weaving industry – such as improving the hand loom process to involve five colours rather than two, and developing the idea of the sub division of labour – helped take shawl manufacturers into the factories.
A lot of paisley-like forms appear in digital fractal geometry.

And the designs go back to India. I dont know how far back.

Give her a couple of weeks and she won’t fit. She seems to have grown since last weeks photos.
But it was hard. I wanted all the puppies. And I was looking at three litters.

The one thing stopping me getting all the puppies is, Jellybean’s chewing stage is still fresh in my memory.

They look a bit like Irish Setters… but not as red. I’ve “owned” a few.

Yeah, setters have a strange sort intelligence (used to joke that the brain was in the occipital bump) .. and sense of humour.

yes. He’s not sure what he is supposed to do with her. And she’s been very happy checking out everything. But I think she just realised she has lost her litter mates and she had a good look at her bit of blanket from home and had a little howl.
I think its going to take a while to get some half decent photos.

Ah, she’ll be fine. She will just cuddle up to Cobbett and sleep with him.

My friend Carolanne from Troon has relatives in Paisley. She tells me that people from Paisley are called ‘buddies.’

“Buddies” derived from “bodies”, townfolk.
>Why are People from Paisley called Paisley Buddies? We have posted this before but its a question I am still asked even by Paisley Buddies. As far as I can read up on in the books that I have its an old Scottish Quote saying that people from the Highlands called themselves Highland Gentlemen and they also mentioned Lowland Farmers and Paisley ‘Bodies’ “pronounced Buddie” it was just a way that described someone from a town. It has nothing to do with the American saying of Buddy “Pal, Friend” it is an old Scottish word simply meaning people, or folk. We are apparently more reserved than our City neighbours Glasgow and suspicious of strangers but I think that’s rubbish and that we are the most friendliest wee ‘Toon’ in Scotland with a rich and colourful History.

Ben and Alice brought it. And one for Cobbett. But Paisley has claimed them both. Also a large bag of assorted gourmet dog treats that include what looks to be smoked and dried chook feet. And Cobbett really likes them.

She vocalises a lot.
Imagine her whining and whinging while I sing ‘You can’t always get what you want.’
