Giant inflatable Scottish Terrier

Thanks to Mark, who discovered this huge Scottie on www.foundshit.com. And speaking of huge dog-related inflatables and sh*t, we’re reminded of this.

Alas, we have not been able to discover anything more about this giant Scottish Terrier.

Apologies, contrition and more apologies. Here belatedly is the link to the Scottie Newsall-time favourite Robbie Burns day story.

On the plus side, no haggis was eaten.

You gonna share that, Daddy?

You gonna share that, Daddy? by thanh_m_tran

That is one good looking pizza. And the Westie’s not so shabby either.

Referencing one of this week’s earlier posts, did anyone notice the “daddy” in the photo title?

A new study identified 18 genetic variants in PTPN22 that might be associated with atopic dermatitis in West Highland white terriers. The Scottish Terrier and Dog News hopes this leads to help for itchy Westies and Scotties.

Tell them what you really think, but remember, it’s just CGI.

I have to confess — I laughed.

Bridget is a bolter so I really want to get to her a GPS collar. Unfortunately the Tagg Pet Tracker that I really like doesn’t work in Canada because the manufacturer has not yet struck a deal with a carrier.

So when I saw this Groupon for a poor man’s GPS collar — that’s not really a GPS collar, but rather a GPS-enabled pet tag — I snapped it up because it was only $15 and it works in Canada. In fact, this particular Groupon is only available in Canada.

Sorry, non-Canadian readers, you can always check out the GPS dog collars on Amazon.

Meet Scottish Terrier and Dog News readers Fabian and Jarmane with their eight week old Scottie pup Rupert, who, according to our calculations, should be four months old now. He is lucky enough to have his own YouTube channel to document all his adventures so check it out. You can watch all his firsts from first walk to first outing at the park to first day at puppy class.

Ann and Bridget of the Scottie News

Definitely not my daughter

What are you to your Scottie?

Mom, fur Dad, mistress, master, owner, supreme ruler, commander in chief, loyal subject?

But seriously, I can’t call myself Bridget’s “mother” for two reasons. One, it’s not my style. And, two, I already have a human daughter.

Mistress doesn’t seem right either. I’m too old for it and there are the sexual overtones.

On many occasions, I’ve used owner simply because it seemed the only option but I don’t like it as I feel it doesn’t accurately reflect our relationship. My dog’s not just something I own.

Lately, I’ve been referring to Scotties and their peeps. But while that works well in the plural, it’s awkward, to say, “I’m Bridget’s peep” in the singular

All this is why I was interested to discover that more than a dozen years ago Boulder became the first city in the U.S.  to officially refer to pet owners as “guardians.” It’s one of many nuggets of information in a recent column by a Scottish Terrier-owning guardianing journalist at the Denver Post.

How do you describe your relationship to your Scottie?
