A day in the life of the Hagu Emma Smyth Art - Home of the Hagu 😂 what a visit 👌❤️

Yesterday Ziggy took some of the better behaved Hagu (half Haggis, half Coo) along to one of Art By Athena painting workshops. Rather unwisely she let them all in and got the set up with brushes and paint. It started off quite well until an over enthusiastic little chap managed to tip his paints all over the floor, splashing it over the walls and poor Willow the dog. Whilst Athena was distracted
Ziggy snuck off to the kitchen, where he discovered several tins of Irn Bru. He downed one, hid another under his fur and returned to the chaos in the studio. Willow, who was now sporting a rather colourful coat, came over and sniffed at Ziggy, who jumped, dropped the Irn Bru on the floor where it exploded and shot off up the chimney showering everyone with its contents on the way.
The fire took great offence to the sudden attack and the chimney, now blocked by the Bru, threw the smoke back down into the room, where it filled every corner and crevice. Chaos erupted, Hagu ran around blind in the thick smog, knocking over paint, water, ornaments and stepping, accidentally of course, on poor Willows paw. Windows were flung open letting plumes of smoke out into the damp air. The cows who had been watching the episode unfold from across the road, observed several Hagu fall from the open window and escape into the shrubbery never to be seen again.
