For those who prefer a “less is more” approach to dressing up for Halloween, Huckleberry Finn of scottydog.com shows off an excellent look. Be sure to check out his site, which, unlike Huck, takes the view that “more is more” when it comes to Halloween. And for more Scotties in traditional attire, there’s this classic of dogs in kilts post, originally put together for Robbie Burns day, but good at any time of year.

Below is Angus, outfitted in orange. In this attractive ensemble, he could stay home and answer the door tonight or go out clubbing. That’s the beauty of the right dog coat – it goes anywhere and everywhere.

And one final word: This is probably getting old, but I haven’t had a lot of time lately and the Scottish Terrier and Dog News has suffered a bit. I have tried to monitor the mail and make sure that I posted all the pictures of costumed Scottish Terriers that were sent, but I have a bad feeling that I’ve misfiled one or two. If it was your dog, let me know and I will post their pic.

Scottish Terrier Molly of Houston got her pumpkin last weekend. If you haven’t got yours yet, we recommend you do it today before all the good pumpkins are taken by Westies.

Yeah, right.

I would like to officially take this opportunity to come out of the closet as a global warming skeptic. Yes, I believe the planet got warmer for a period, but I am deeply skeptical of the claims that CO2 emissions were the cause and that the climate models created to forecast the future are in any way accurate.

I am also in very good company as you see here in this slide show of the 10 most-respected Global Warming Sceptics. I especially like this quote from the late Michael Crichton:

Let’s be clear: the work of science has nothing whatever to do with consensus. Consensus is the business of politics. Science, on the contrary, requires only one investigator who happens to be right, which means that he or she has results that are verifiable by reference to the real world. In science, consensus is irrelevant. What is relevant is reproducible results. The greatest scientists in history are great precisely because they broke with the consensus.

So sorry New Zealand eco-freaks, I’m keeping my dog and I don’t even feel the slightest bit guilty about it.

There’s video and links to a New York Times backgrounder.
