In September last year we said goodbye to our beautiful senior boy Nico. He was the best wee dog, snuggly and adventurous all in one, and he thought he was a wee puppy right up until his final weeks, 14 going on 4. He barrelled through our door and into our hearts in 2022 and had many wonderful adventures with us, including helping us to train for a previous Kiltwalk.

We are walking the Kiltwalk this year to raise much needed funds for the Scottish Staffordshire Bull Terrier Rescue, to help them look after more dogs like Nico. We are so grateful to them for bringing Nico into our lives.

If you are reading this and have been considering rehoming a dog, please please consider a senior. Nico had so much energy and so much love to give right up until his final weeks. Being his humans for the past three years was an absolute privilege and we wouldn't change it for the world.
