Yesterday was the second anniversary of the day Kaci came home to stay. It’s really today because there’s still 90 minutes of October 13 left to go in this time zone..
Here are the pictures from the rescue web site that made us fall in love with her and go to California to bring her home. She had a very Scottie like look to her. When we got to see her in person, she had Westie fur which was OK since she replaced Kenzie the Westie.
Here she is 2 months later-settled in
And here on her first anniversary gotcha day last year. Notice the feet of pumpkinhead featured in last post’s movie just to the left of the door.
Speaking of Gotcha Day +1, here’s moi the day after coming home in December 2002. The other dog is Mercedes from next door who is three days older than me. Unfortunately Mercedes moved away about five years ago. She was a terrible student, I couldn’t teach her anything, especially how to keep the ears upright.

That was a true hatchet job of a Scottie cut done by my rescue group.

Oh Kaci *wolf whistle* look at you!! HaPpY GoTcHa DaY!! We wish you many, many more!!
BIG licks,
Wally & Sammy
Thank you. It’s heartfelt when I say it’s great to be here.
Happy Gotcha day Kaci! I totally understand the problem with the ears, since 5 years I try to keep my ears upright, but it doesn’t work… probably breeds with floppy ears aren’t as smart as terriers :o)
It might not have anything to do with intelligence. Kismet laughs at me because I cannot fly. Does that make me stupid?
never…Kaci… probably there is a reason that dogs can’t fly… there are no pee-trees in the air :o)
Happy Gotcha Day Kaci!
Thanks, Whitely! Do you have any fur-care secrets to share with me?
WooHoooo girl, we never knew you were a model. Happy Gotcha day xxooxxxxx
Mollie and Alfie
Thank God you’re back. Things have been way too sane.
Kaci, we remember when you joined the family…Happy Gotcha Day, girl. Hope you had a big celebration.
Bella had that hatchet job when she arrived, too.
I can’t imagine anyone doing anything to Bella that she didn’t want.
Happy Gotcha Day to sweet Kaci. Have a terrific Tuesday.
Best wishes Molly
I’ll try. It’s the start of year three.
HAPPY GOTCHA DAY KACI… Gotcha Days are the BESTEST. We hope you had a super celebration of your special day.
Kyla just had to steal my thunder by posting a picture of herself. I hoped that she did it so you two could appreciate Mercedes.
What a gorgeous cheeky face. Whee can understand why you fell for her!
xxxx
Yup, one look and we had to have her.
Happy gotcha day to the grasshopper, sensei chose wisely.
If I didn’t, it would have been MY head on the karate chopping block.
Awww, how adorable. I’m going to link this post to my Awww Mondays post.
Have a woof woof day. My best to your mom. 🙂
It’s hard to believe that she was on death row in a kill shelter. She was taken from a pen that had a lot of big dogs-nobody cared because she was a goner anyway. Look at the piece of ear missing from the top of the left ear.
Kaci your eyes got a sparkle after you got your forever home. Foster Mom dolled you up for those photos to make sure people looked at you. But you didn’t need dolled up! Kyla well you have just been darn sweet your whole life.
Sweet William The Scot
Because of my shelter experience, I’m still a bid afraid and shy. Just don’t tell anyone.
Happy Gotcha plus one day Kaci. I can see why they traveled to Cali to rescue you. Kyla, you were such a cutie pie and you looked so innocent. My how time has changed innocent into wisdom.
Aroo to you,
Sully
And if I hang around Kyla too much, I won’t just be wise, I’ll be a “wise guy”.
Is that lettuce on Kaci’s head?
No way, otherwise I’d eat it. I love lettuce. It’s probably gangrene.
Happy Happy Happy Gotcha Day Kaci!!! OMD, lookie at your pics!! Wells, I thinks you look betters without all that bling on ya! I’m sure Kyla took care of THAT! BOL
And lookie how innocent Kyla looks in that photo!!! OMD, do you thinks the peeps had any idea what they were in for?! ☺
I hopes there will be lots of green beans and pressies!
Kisses,
Ruby ♥
I love my green beans also. I’m a pretty good act, but Kali………..
Happy gotcha day Kaci xx
Thanks, you Mallie!
Happy Gotcha Day, Kaci! We noticed that Riley has the same texture to his fur. It’s not as soft as Seth and Braeden’s fur. Hmmm…wonder what that means?
Someone has some explaining to do…
HAPPY GOTCHA Day to cutie Kaci….so glad you came along to join the clan!
The Mad Scots
Yeah, but I’m not a mad Scot-yet. My peeps are driving me to the mad part.
Happy Gotcha Day to a sweet girl- Kaci. Your beauty has only improved with time. That goes for Kyla too.
Thanks guys. You have a really fresh gotcha day.
Those rescue pictures sure are pretty! Happy gotcha day Kaci!
Unfortunately, they make me look to frilly-not terrier like.
Happy Gotcha Kaci! Hope you’re getting some treats. Maybe some green beans! I see used to be black. Personally I prefer her current color much better. But that’s me.
Alyssa, Mr Fox & Scruffy
My only problem with green beans is keeping them from Kyla.
Happy Gotcha Day Kaci! Hope you had a fantastic day!
Marty
Thanx, Manx.
Oh, Kaci, the stories you could tell from before your Gotcha day. We are so happy for you and your fur ever home! I love your furs!
oxox
Daisy
All three of us are trying to forget those days and go forward.
LOOK AT YOU!!!!!! Oh boy! What a young beauty! And that Kaci, well, she’s adorable.
HAPPY GOTCHA DAY!!!!! Y’all are lucky pups. (And the peeps are lucky, too.)
Not only that, I’ve got a great boyfriend.
Shucks. It’s my pleasure. Even if you so slap me around from time to time. I love a strong Scottie woman….
Happy Gotcha Day, Kaci! (Well, a day or two late….) We hope you had a wonderful day.
Monty and Harlow
Thanks guys. I had a wonderful day with extra green beans. The next day, the extra beans didn’t continue.
Happy Gotcha Day Kaci!!! ~ATCAD (Alasandra, The Cats & Dogs)
Thanks, you guys!
happy waaaay belated Gotcha Day, Kaci! We are so glad you found a forever home!
Edgar and his mum
Happy belated Gotcha Day!
Hahahahaha…. guess Mercedes must be glad to get away… you really don’t do much for a dachshund’s ego! Happy belated Gotcha day Kaci!
