As I’ve mentioned before, my dog Bridget has a rather bad habit attacking feet. It’s mostly under control but occasionally, she’ll just start biting a random stranger’s feet. She did this to a new dog walker at the park this morning.
While I was apologizing profusely, another dog walker chimed in: “Yes. I read on her Facebook profile that biting feet was one of her favourite pastimes. “
That’s right, Bridget has a dog book profile created by my daughter several months ago but evidently not actively maintained since then.
“Whiskey’s sent her a friend request,” said the other dog walker, whose name I didn’t know and who probably doesn’t know my name even though her dog had sent mine a Facebook friend request and our animals routinely share sticks.
Since I didn’t want to get a reputation as the kind of person whose dog ignores Facebook friend requests, when I got home, I immediately fired up the computer and accepted Whiskey’s friend request on Bridget’s behalf.
Lo and behold, I also discovered that, Bridget had four more friend requests.
Two were from Scottish Terriers, Morag in Melbourne, and Shnaps in Moscow. That made sense given that they have their breed in common. But I was a little disconcerted by the seemingly random friend requests from Chingiz, a Moscow boxer, and Torri, a Moscow Saint Bernard. I will likely ignore their friend requests for security reasons.
Finally, I checked out Whiskey’s friends and browsed the other dogs who had the same favourite parks as Bridget. Then I sent a human friend, who’s trying to decide whether she needs Facebook, the profile of a Dachshund she knows, who just happened to be one of Whiskey’s friends.
Talk about social networking — and time wasting.

This video recalls Lina Wertmuller’s Swept Away (definitely not the Madonna version):

It has nothing to do with the foot. We’ll be back soon.
In the mean time, a missing Australian man and his Scottish Terrier are found.

Finally, almost 60 hours after two feet diasappeared, Bridget the Scottish Terrier has eliminated the second one.
While she was not unwell enough for a visit to the vet, she hadn’t quite been herself for the past few days. She threw up again last night and the night before, but by the time human help arrived she had already — how to put this euphamistically? — cleaned up her own vomit and perhaps, in the process, re-consumed the foot. Sixty hours does seem like a long time for it to be lodged in the digestive tract.
Not because of the happy ending but due to the fact that we aren’t sure if the ball in question was a knockoff, the Scottie News is refraining from calling for a boycott of Cuz dog toys.

Somehow, we thought police dogs wouldn’t have this problem.

In a video reminiscient of Chariots of Fire, Camba proves to be a great jumper. We hope she’s drug free and we don’t need to cry for Argentina.

Sniffer labrador retrievers, Lucky and Flo, who specialize in detecting pirated DVDs, have hit the road for a high-profile tour, which includes cameo performances at the Toronto Film Festival.
Lucky and Flo, who hail from Ireland, are so good at their jobs that earlier this year, when they were on loan to Malaysia, a bounty was placed on their heads by aggrieved pirates.
The Toronto Star has video.
Read previous reports on Lucky and Flo.

What with the long weekend and the birthday, Scottie News is only just getting around to posting this link to a New York Times magazine article on what we feed our dogs and why.
There’s a lot of interesting info in there but Scottie News can’t discern any larger point. Can you?
