[@satchman2000retro]

quick note- youve left the reg plate visible at the 7:45ish mark (in the window)

[@livingtheskyelife]

Thanks for the heads up. That’s the old registration though. It has no connection to the vehicle now, or us.

[@girlnorthof60]

Super happy to get my copy of 'These Old Walls' 🎶 your easy-to-use Bandcamp link worked a charm. 😁👍Cheers from the Yukon.

[@theoddjobcentre6686]

​@@livingtheskyelifeI use bugalugs in my grooming room I absolutely love their shampoos

[@terrimckeighen7154]

That tide coming in is insane! Sarah, as Willie’s boat sank….twice….you might think …..twice……before getting in the real boat with him! I have to say how much I appreciate the seriousness you take with having pets. I wish more people would realize puppies get into everything, they grow up and they get old. Pets are a part of our families and we take on the responsibility of caring for them for their life. The unconditional love they give is worth it all! Can’t wait for next week’s video!

[@firearchives]

The girl has an itch for sailing 😂

[@guyrose2239]

Cannot wait for Nori xxx

[@Algorithmicgeneratedwordsalad]

You should get a baby gate to divide your office and Willy's Studio that way Jack and Nori interact with each other through the gate but Jack can also retreat

[@livingtheskyelife]

Good idea! We are on the lookout for a baby gate in the local ads!

[@jimbo80982]

Stick a bit of rubber in between your brackets for the car cage to dampen any remaining rattle and stop metal on metal contact ;)

[@livingtheskyelife]

Thanks - I did this with some pieces of old garden hose a few days ago. 🙂

[@BrigidC]

Can’t wait for the puppy ❤

[@denisepiekarski4159]

That last bit with Jack running back and forth before he jumped into the land rover cracked me up! 😂

[@andrewhart3590]

Oh great, now I've had to go and buy a loud jumper! 🙈😂

[@judithmalan1502]

Perfect Puppy-Proofing Project performed pertinently....😂😂😂❤❤❤❤❤Well done! Looking forward! So good that Jack has a Retreat Space!

[@msrotti2362]

I really wish you would have rescued from a shelter. So many animals that are in the shelter that deserve a good home.

[@livingtheskyelife]

It was something we discussed at length. However, given our circumstances, it just wasn’t the right thing to do for us at this time, in this situation. We discuss this in the previous episode. With that said, we would always recommend a rescue dog if the situation is right for you and the dog.

[@msrotti2362]

I still love ya both and understand but I would have been remissed if I didn't say what I said. Thank you for posting this reply. By the way you have a great voice and your other half is an amazing artist. Happy New Year From the States@@livingtheskyelife

[@Leftoutknitter]

The curve of the luggage retainer is for mounting directly to the wheel well, so the curve would be needed, since yours has been squared off, you need the block. You are quite attentive pet parents. I know every subscriber wishes to visit your little slice of life.

[@margaretduffy1522]

Hi Willie and Sarah I have just found ur channel and what a lovely time I’m having I’m a 78 yr old who lives on her own but after discovering you both I’m not alone,I go to bed at night now instead of putting telly on I watch you both and jack of course the lovely jack I’m from Edinburgh I haven’t been to Skye (too late now) but I have been to Harris I thought that Harris was out of this world it is but Skye is so lovely and where u are staying now well what can I say take care of each other and jack and of course little Norie can’t wait until nxt week xx

[@jenniferbasiji8654]

Thanks!

[@livingtheskyelife]

Thanks so much!!

[@CelticGirl-z9d]

Always look forward to your weekly videos hearing of your adventures and seeing the scenery around your area. Beautiful stuff. A few weeks back you lit the fire for the first time. Living where you do and being resourceful, I thought I would share my little fire lighting hint. I save all my cardboard egg cartons and tear them up into small pieces and also save all skins off any citrus fruit (if you can buy them where you are) cut them up into small pieces and dry them out on a tray in the oven. Come winter time I add a handful to the fire with the kindling. Once lit the egg carton pieces burn for a long time as does the dry citrus peel and gets you fire going. Dried orange skins give off a lovely smell when burning. So a little recycling hint for you. Enjoy the arrival of your new 'baby'!

[@ceceliakeown5653]

The only thing you forgot in preparing for lorie is a "How to be like jack kit." 1st include small blocks of wood for him to chew on and spit out, pencils for small sticks ( unsharpened of course) to run around with like crazy and drop in front of you, a medium size mushroom to step on and squash, a baby pool to jump in the water, a small crawfish cage to poke his nose in to practice for later on a lobster trap, the smallest brussel sprout to help jack fart😉😲😷😨, a extra small pair of black sunglasses to be jazz dogs side kick..WELL you get the picture Etc etc etc

[@livingtheskyelife]

🤣 Best comment yet!! Although we’re sure Jack has that side of things covered…

[@rebeccanicoll2550]

Love the trimmed beard Willie! It aged you and now you look thirty again!❤️

[@livingtheskyelife]

Nori preferred the longer beard… more specifically, hanging from it by his teeth! Hence beard trimming. 🙂

[@frankiepyke8340]

aaaaaahhhh cliff hanger.........so excited!!!!!!!

[@lorrainegmoore5042]

You may have to put something against the baby gate ,we added some plywood as our cavalier King Charles spaniel ( Alex) managed to get through the bars of the baby gate . Once Alex grew we were able to remove the plywood and believe me that baby stair gate was so useful

[@chrisgerrard5854]

HNY looking forward to seeing the blue Roman puppy I dad one myself many years ago happy memories of Ben xxxx😊

[@mackclotilde6445]

Merci !

[@livingtheskyelife]

Merci beaucoup!! 😊

[@ricks-excellentadventure2878]

Thanks! From Sophie Noel our 3 year old Golden Retriever

[@livingtheskyelife]

Thanks so much!!

[@jeannienash5249]

❤Luv ya bunches @Willie Scott, @Sarah, and @Jack Spaniels ❤

[@JeanStAubin-nl9uo]

I like the sweater Willie. It looks hand-knitted. The puppy learning to walk is so cute! Good luck with your new family member.❤

[@duncanfarrant8025]

Willie, might be worth putting a rubber washer between the bracket and the guard to stop vibration and flexing noise, metal no metal. good luck with Fur babies.

[@thomascook6364]

Willies a poet but does he know it?????Yeah insane tide innit!xxx

[@mach7056]

Jack 'n ' Nori......... now that brought back a few memories of children's television from 1965 - 90's 😉 Happy New Year to you both.

[@sandylee9564]

I'd never seen a Spring Water tide before....looks awesome and almost unreal. Jack is going to love his new little companion.

[@BiddeeGirl]

That true belly laugh is everything!!! Just. Love it.❤❤❤❤

[@andykeeble1]

Congratulations on the new arrival! We lost our old girl last year but now have another GWP who is 6 months old. Talk about a shock to the system, we had forgotten just how much energy puppies have AND how much we need to teach her. Lots of fun though and I wouldn't swap her for the world..........well maybe a luxury yacht in the Caribbean!!!

[@geoffpriestley7310]

We lost our westy a year ago, that left lexy another west by her self. She's never been on her own before . If you have ever seen a dog with depression she had it . We got a king Charles spaniel. After 1 month they are inseparable

[@charlene5461]

Are German wirehaired pointers good bird dogs? Good luck with your new bundle of energy!🎉

[@vivellasmum]

Yay I've made it to 2024! I'll soon be caught up. I looked up those jumpers, now I have to save up! I love how you love Jack, I'm just so envious of that proper dog/human relationship that I don't have with my poor dog.

[@arkonite]

Happy Sunday everyone ❤

[@dthomp06]

I look forward to seeing Nori with Big Bro Jack Spaniels. I’m sure they’ll be pals in no time.

[@sammymoore2430]

He's gorgeous ❤ would love your life 😊 your so lucky

[@iansmith7369]

I’ve go Yolanda envy And lots of it

[@lisacornett9364]

You guys are such good dog/puppy parents. I can't wait until the next video to see Nori come home!

[@cheralyndewet897]

Thanks for sharing guys looking forward to meeting Nori 😊

[@brenda1378]

Best place for that cage is the back of the Landie 😁

[@Puddy429]

Hi guy's great channel. Be very careful putting stainless steel bolts in contact with the Aluminium on the landrover. The Alloy will corrode in time, best to fit mild steel coated bolts instead. Hope that's a help.

[@kerrypitt9789]

About Springers! When you start to train them you may think your pup is smart like a rock, but do not give up! I trained mine to respond to hand signals but the dog just couldnt figure anything out!! Six months after i started to train him i was going to give up! Took Buster out to the farm and suddenly there he was! Watching, listening and just being such a good boy! We never looked back, he had just needed the time to process the information and we were Golden!

[@jillychandler]

With the metal luggage compartment in the back of your Land Rover, may it be a good idea to put some bungie (or something similar) over the sides, and the front, as the dogs could hurt themselves on there, if they jump up into it? It is a great job as always Willie and Sarah, all set for your new arrival. Is Nori a boy or a girl, so sweet taking the first steps. I sooo hope that Jack and Nori love each other, and have many happy days running around together in the future. xxx

[@catherineH4785]

Nori is a cutie, look forward to seeing more of him. Every time I hear his name it reminds me our dear departed Scottish friend Norrie.

[@karensmith5116]

Welcome Nori! It looks like you all are as ready as possible. That was one of the fastest moving tides I have ever seen! Love the jumpers, Willie, and they are for a great cause!

[@Teenibash1969]

What a lovely time in your life. You have your cottage and outbuildings, your land rover and your four legged friends. Life is good 😊

[@poppyk6182]

Where’s the puppy 🐶 🥺 I was itching to get to the end to see Nori ☹️

[@Jax-kj5yo]

This warms my heart as it will be taking a trip down memory lane with my late Sringer George. Scotland, dogs, walks and lots of fun. What more could one wish for 😃

[@nancykaufman1645]

Dogs just make life so much better ❤❤❤

[@jaznz53]

I asked a while ago about Willie's jumpers. I'm a knitter and love the bright colours and the style. I have 2 sons and 4 grandsons and only the 2.5yr would wear one that cool. Great to finally know where they come from. I thought you may have knitted it for him Sarah, as a side talent we didn't know about. But ofcourse Willie could have knitted it himself. I had a friend called Norries(sadly, he's in heaven) it's a lovely name I will remember easily.

[@livingtheskyelife]

I (Sarah) could never knit a jumper - not one of my skills 😅

[@searchguru2790]

I was hoping to find out where to get a woolly jumper like Willie's. You answered my question before I'd asked it. I'm now the proud owner of a black and rainbow kind of coloured one. Marvelous! Enjoy your new family addition and keep up the good work

[@christinewilkinson3772]

I am currently training little puppy brother for my other dog Charlie. His little brother is Georgie. They are Cavalier King Charles Spaniels. I love all spaniels! I have also had two English Springer Spaniels. Congratulations on your new boy!

[@dawnwilkinson8717]

I was going to say I missed the "banger dance" but seeing your efforts at the end of this video I think you may need some practice. I know, you will be doing "the puppy's under my feet dance" very soon. Have the best fun with the new member of your family. Great video and it was lovely to see the bottle.

[@eldcar72]

Guys get ready.. puppy is coming.. LOL!!!

[@justmeted1969]

A really cool acquaintance of mine here in Cape Breton is a guy named Mike who runs a channel called Sea Glass Archeology. He has an encyclopedic knowledge of all things bottles and glass. I think Willie and Mike could have quite a lot to say to one another. He could probably help you out with the little bottle.

[@merahertel6256]

You guys look great. Skye suits you. ❤

[@abigailgerlach5443]

Awww puppies are so cute. We got a Bassett puppy from the rescue...or we thought she was a Bassett. Nine months later, the puppy went from fitting in the palm of my hand to a 95 pound Bassett/Shetland Pony mix! And she thought she was a lap dog!!!!

[@fairyacorn4854]

I do hope Jack gets on with his new brother. Well your all ready for the onslaught of the bundle of joy. Your going to have a lot to do in the next couple of months. Please give Jack and Nori a cuddle from me. Also thanks for making Sunday evenings so pleasurable watching you youngsters enjoy life on Skye. Love to all.XXXX

[@stavsuds401]

Can't wait for the story of Jack and Nori 🐕🐕

[@lifelikeatob]

So excited for Nori to join your pack 😍😍😍 Nothing better than puppy content 🥰

[@mandywhitton]

Love it Sarah. Is the best xxxxx❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@livingtheskyelife]

Thanks! Willie & Jack are pretty cool too though 😜

[@JustOneKnight]

Jack and Nori have it so good , a loving home and great people to care for them. Congrats.

[@deliawallace4426]

The bloopers at the end - fabulous - Jack running everywhere but where he needed to go.🤣🤣

[@lovelyskull3483]

Nori will have the finest family. Thanks for the great video. Cheers.

[@xxsusansmithxx]

Thanks! for finally mentioning the beautiful sweaters! I've been watching your vlogs for a year wondering who knits for you! will definitely check out Loud Elephant

[@livingtheskyelife]

Thanks so much!!

[@carlarivas1238]

Oh gosh - you teased us…..I thought we were going to be introduced to Nori. Looking forward to next week. Wow the tide and the bubbles - fascinating! Willie you are so proficient with the tools - great work in the Landy.

[@tess1176]

Excellent editing showcasing ALL the new jumpers!!😄😄

[@livingtheskyelife]

Thanks! I’m not sure if many people noticed that! 🙂

[@heatherw9084]

Loved your first 2024 video! So looking forward to seeing more of Nori. You both did a great job of puppy proofing for sure. Both Jack and Nori will be so loved ❤❤

[@PabloCheesecake]

Love the channel. Makes me homesick for the auld country. I have to admit I'm very impressed/jealous of Willie's ever-growing collection of stylish jumpers. Now that he has mentioned where he gets them from I've made my first purchase. My Loud Elephant delivery is en-route!

[@dianehepper8764]

Nori, seaweed squares for sushi my favourite food

[@lorimcmichael5846]

Wow! That tide is no joke!

[@birgitriff2010]

I am looking forward to your nice little puppy! This will be a crazy time! Good luck!

[@iansmith7369]

Gosh you have amazing eyes

[@maxine3587]

I can't wait to see Jack when he first meets Nori. I'm not even a dog person really but jacks the exception. 🙂

[@henrywilliam8506]

Love the name of your new puppy. Jack and Nori, there will be a story in the somewhere. 😊

[@golfingmags5]

Wish it was next week….looking forward to seeing Nori and Jack will love him (eventually).🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@suedale1865]

Happy new year looking forward to Nori’s arrival You certainly are puppy ready well done 🐾🐾🐾🐾💙💙

[@susanMcDonald-md3np]

Loved the video guys ,good luck with the new pup , boy are they hard work you look well prepared though. I have a 4month old cocker called Rosie,who is adorable but very naughty at times 😍hope jack loves his new little brother ,looking forward to seeing their adventures

[@christhompson4270]

Oh boy good luck guys with nori and the mayhem to come. Can’t wait to see both Jack and Nori playing together. Take care and thanks for sharing 👏🙏❤️

[@nokchilton1562]

Good neat job in the Land Rover ❤❤

[@alisefranklin8490]

Love the “jumpers”…..in the U.S. we call them sweaters! I wondered where you got them, love the colors!

[@excossack]

From memory some defenders have a stepped rear tub which the cut outs in the luggage guards fit onto. A quick look under the wheel arch to see if you have a stepped tub.

[@jtre5387]

Willie, dont forget to grease up the bolts that went through the wheel arches, dont want salt water getting into drilled aluminium.

[@livingtheskyelife]

Thanks - showed me doing just that in the video. 👍

[@jtre5387]

How did i miss that, duh😂😂

[@helenemccafferty4994]

Congrats to the both of you for choosing to get a baby brother for your Jack ladopyedapuppyayear ago.He turnedy life upside down.Do not forget the puppy pads for training and keep unsafe foods out of reach.I keep a travel kennel at the back of van,holds puppy secure and your vehicle clean.Good luck and God bless.

[@alisondoughty2194]

Happy 2023 and beyond.Lovely fun vlog.🎉😀

[@judithmalan1502]

All THE VERY BEST!

[@DailyQuiet]

Sweetness!

[@abqresident4461]

Time and Tide wait for no man! I am proud of my Scottish roots and no more so when I see another Scot have the right bolts and collars for the jobs because we NEVER throw away stuff that we may need in the next 8-10 years. LOL. Looking forward to Nori! Love and Hugs from me in New Mexico USA.

[@charlene5461]

😂I have a newly refinished dining table that I received for a Christmas gift from Mom...35 years ago! It was only in storage 14 years!😂 But in our new to us remodeled home, it fis perfect and looks great!! Husband and I both save EVERYTHING!😂😂😂 And usually end up using most.😅

[@susanmclean798]

Looking forward to seeing Nori and Jack and their puppy shenanigans!

[@IloCox-k1c]

Oh loved the tub bath or I guess bucket bath!! Just Precious! I live in land locked Oklahoma in the USA. I have heard stories and read stories about the tides coming in, but Wow!!t”They said tides were fast in the books…but I had no idea how fast.😱 Thank you for sharing that visual! It was unexpected and unbelievable. Seeing how quick that water was reaching Sarah was a great way to experience and understand 👍🏼 Great filming Willie!! Looking forward to next Sunday ❤

[@thornbird6768]

Jack Spaniels and Nori Spaniels ❤❤

[@helenwasher2125]

That little keyring with the bone and pacifier is the best. We got one for our puppy when we got him last April and he literally uses it as a pacifier at night. He only gets it at night and chews it till he falls asleep every night. Congratulations on your new addition!

[@cloudbringer104]

Did you choose the name Nori, after the Japanese puzzle. He is absolutely adorable, and will be one lucky boy.

[@lynndavidson9576]

I love this channel and look forward to every Sunday posts. Cant wait to meet Norie next week🤟from Canada 🇨🇦

[@mcintyrefarm634]

Love the puppy! I'm sure Jack and Nori will become best buds. Yolanda will come in handy transporting your family around. Fun times ahead

[@rotinkerbell]

D'oh. I only just the child tv tale telling influence of the two dogs' names. Well done. xx

[@cherienaera3751]

Om so jealous ypu live on skye In my youth living in the uk for three years i got to skye for a day but never saw my family castle dunvegan. It seemed an impossible dream as i luve in nz but now that my chikdren are grown i long for us all to return x

[@nadiabarrett5195]

this episode makes me so happy! and nostalgic for when my pup was little

[@mars2100]

Lol, stand by puppy bedlam

[@NicksAllotmentDiary]

Hi Sarah and Willie. You’ve done a great job in fitting that dog guard in the Land Rover and preparing for Nori’s arrival. I’m sure you’ve made plenty of fuss of Jack so he doesn’t feel left out. Take care. Nick

[@TifJones-p9z]

I have a blanket over my puppy crate making it like a cave with no blanket over the door - the door stays open all the time but I often find my 10 year old girls tucked up in there - she does have a selection of places to sleep around the house including a bed in the sunroom, a bed next to the fire, a cover on one of the chairs

[@livingtheskyelife]

All makes lots of sense. Unfortunately for us though, Nori can’t be trusted to wander freely around the house yet, as he will find hiding spots to widdle! And if we put anything on the top of his crate, he pulls it through the bars and mauls it! 😂

[@noraleestone2859]

01:10 OMG!!! 😲 I've been envying Wiily's jumper for weeks now. 😍😍Thank you so much for posting the info about where he gets them. I'm all over that! 🤯🥳😁🥰👍👍

[@AlanHough-p1w]

Can't wait to see what Jack thinks of the new arrival 😊

[@beverlyethridge5084]

Thanks!

[@livingtheskyelife]

Thank you! 😃
