Talisker's original name was "Sky" but I really wanted to think of an unusual name for her... I eventually decided to call her Talisker as my Father had been given a bottle of Talisker Whisky from his Mother, just before she died. Every year his Brother and he would drink a toast to my Grandma and this year would be the last as the bottle was nearly empty. Also Talisker is distilled in the Isle of Sky so I thought it was a particularly fitting name for her. Over the years Talisker has been abbreviated and she is now affectionately known as Liska, except when she is naughty!

As a youngster Liska was the most destructive dog I have ever known! She chewed her bedding, the kitchen curtains along with the skirting boards and at least 3 mobile phones, not to mention the odd roast joint while I was setting the table in the dining room!! But by the time Liska turned 3, she became the most stable, honest and faithful friend I could ever wish for...

Liska came everywhere with me in the car, I even took her to work with me!! Since I now work from home she just enjoys keeping my feet warm under my desk!

When liska turned seven I decided to get a puppy to keep her young at heart! It took me about a year to research which breed would be suitable for my lifestyle and also hers. So when Liska turned eight, I started my search for a Rhodesian Ridgeback puppy and eventually after a lot of searching for the perfect puppy and a few let downs, my amazing puppy "Caluua" joined our mad family!

Liska has taken to Caluua like a duck to water, she even developed milk two days after Caluua arrived!

Since May the pair have become firm friends, they play continually and hate to be parted!

Don't they look cute together?!
