Enough — for now — with the Scottish Terrier scandal that’s rocking Capitol Hill (scroll down for details.)

Take a break from politics and check out Sadie, the Scottie dog who prefers beer to lattes. Cheers.

No one will accuse these two dogs of being “latte-lapping lapdogs” like Congressman Whitfield’s terriers.

Irish labradors, Lucky and Flo, have been so successful at sniffing out black-market DVDs and CDs that they have attracted death threats from Malaysian criminals.

Update: The BBC reports that a bounty has been put on the sniffer dogs’ heads.

Today’s designer dog is the Doxie Scot. From this photo, it really looks like the terrier genes drown out the Dachshund DNA.

Our previously featured designer dogs were a Scottie Westie cross and a Scottish Terrier Chihuahua cross.

…of defacing the neighbours’ property or, worst case scenario, killing the neighbours’ cats, have him DNA tested. Alas, in this case, the dog was almost certainly guilty.

At around 1 minute 20 seconds, Maggie the Scottish Terrier appears to get herself in a spot of trouble with Ringo the Great Dane.

I knew Sadie was back in style as a people name, but it looks like it’s making tracks as a Scottie name as well. It’s number four on the Most Popular Girl Dog Names list after Maggie, Molly and Lady but before Lucy.

The top five male dog names are Max, Jake, Buddy, Bailey, Sam.

Obese dogs in Finland can now take Yarvitan, a new medicine, to help them drop a few pounds:

Yarvitan’s active ingredient, mitratapide, works by inhibiting certain proteins in the intestines (microsomal triglyceride transfer protein, MTP). MTP inhibitors prevent the absorption of fat. This protein is involved in absorbing the fat consumed as part of a normal diet. By inhibiting this protein, mitratapide reduces the amount of fat absorbed through the intestines. Thanks to its mechanism of action, the appetite
reducing effect of mitratapide is minimal.

There’s no mention of any digestive side effects — yet!

This YouTube title seemed too good to be true: “Scottish Terrier teeth cleaned without Anastasia.”

It must be satire, I thought. Surely no one would post video of a dog getting its teeth cleaned.

And who was Anastasia? Not the really famous one? Maybe a very special veterinary dental hygenist? Or the dog’s keeper?

But, no, it really is what it says and nothing more — a scottie getting its teeth cleaned without anesthesia, precisely the type of thing that gives the internet and YouTube a bad name.

Enjoy the show. And if you like it, try this video, which shows the patient watching a fellow Scotttie getting his teeth cleaned.

By the way, tomorrow I’m going to the dentist to have my teeth cleaned and we won’t be filming.
