1996 - Dileas arrival in Glasgow

I was on a geology field trip to Raasay in September/October 1996, when I spotted  a notice on the Outdoor Centre noticeboard indicating that a litter of pups were looking for homes. Soon afterwards, I was in a house in Inverarish, where he and his tiny brothers and sisters were bumbling around on the floor. Dileas chose me by trying to suck my shoelaces. The pups were not yet weaned,  so Lynne Rowe, the Director of the Raasay Outdoor Centre, brought him down to our house in Glasgow a few weeks later.

Soon dog-walking became one of our main activities. Here we are on one of our first days out in Linn Park in November 1996.
