Recently, a reader sent a link to video of her two new rescue Scottish Terriers, Stella and Byron, at the cottage. It intrigued me for a number of reasons.
- Cottages really aren’t what they used to be.
- Stella and Byron are very literary names. Are we dealing with an academic?
- Have you ever had to yell, “Steeelllaaa!” like Marlon Brando?
- They’re really cute dogs and that’s quite an indoor workout
So, here are Stella and Byron:
And here’s young Marlon Brandon as Stanley in A Streetcar Named Desire:
Kind of makes me want to have two dogs called Stanley and Stella. Speaking of which, a reader just added a whole slew of names to our Scottie Names List, which is one of the Scottish Terrier and Dog News‘ most popular pages ever.

I haven't yelled Stellllllaaaa, but I will say that Rory & Fiona decided to join them in the barking. Does that count?
I almost forgot how much I love that movie…wow what a steamy scene. Thanks!..oh, and the Scotties were fun too LOL!
If Angus would have been a girl, her name would have been Harriet, so I would have had "Ozzie and Harriet." So, I told my husband, our next two will be "Fibber and Magee."
We've definitely had occasion to yell "Stelllaaaa!" since we got her… perhaps naming her that was a mistake, but it fits her well. Our last Scottie was a girl named Pippen, but we were looking for something more feminine this time… Poor Pip was always mistaken for a boy. Perhaps it was the beard.
We are just about to get our latest Westie puppy – my third – and in celebration I would like to get a putter cover for my golf club. I previously had a Whyte and Mackay cover with the black and white terriers on it but lost it. Does anyone know where I can get hold of one, please?
