Scotland and dogs

Share this

Although we make dog beds and pretty much concentrate on that, we also get a moment or two to get out and about to observe Scotland. I think it's fair to say that we all, here at Tuffies, have an interest in the out-doors and wild life. It is nice to share some with our web site visitors and below are a few shots from out and about.
