We’re off the grid for a while with intermittent access. The editorial team will try to check in from time to time, but worst case scenario, you won’t hear from us until February 14th.

There’s always the archives including our most memorable Valentine’s Day post ever.

The director writes: “This is a video of our newly adopted Scottish Terrier…Bjorn. He’s getting to know one of his older sisters (Savannah). Initially, it appears that a conflict is imminent but after some lessons on “who’s the boss”, it turns to play.”

Eli Manning with Guiding Eyes dog

Has there ever been a Scottie seeing eye dog?

Eli Manning fund raises for Guiding Eyes. Go, Eli!

Scottie News
will also weigh in on the halftime show. We liked Madonna better way back when when she looked like she was having fun. She needs to get her authenticity back — if she still can.

Whoops.

That’s more like it.

You’ll have to click through to Flickr to see the full size images of a Scottish Terrier assessing a Scottie pillow and another Scot checking out a doggie doorstop. They’ve got taste!

So, tell us again, why we would listen to you.

I recently did a Google search to see how the Scottish Terrier and Dog News was ranking for the term Scottish Terrier and noticed something I hadn’t before.

Google search for Scottish Terrier

Notice the image results

A photo of Rasmus (left, top) that I had published on my blog almost four years ago showed up on Picasa even though I had never put it there. What’s worse, Picasa said the photo belongs to me when the version on my blog, which I asked permission to use, is clearly credited to the photographer and owner of the photo Lars Odemark.

In the original version, the photo was properly credited and linked with the photographer’s knowledge.

Picasa has done this with more than 700 photos used by the Scottish Terrier and Dog News.

I suspect the fecal matter is about to hit the fan on this one that, as far as I can tell, has not yet been noticed.

Let’s start with the high culture:

The director says: “While I was listening to some favourite classics our scottie, Angus, decided to join in. Can’t quite tell whether he’s a fan or a critic. Apologies for low resolution. Only had my iPhone handy so I grabbed it and started recording.”

Not to worry. Angus comes through loud and clear.

Now, over to Wallace, whose personal cinematographer writes: “This is Wallace. He is an adorable old man stuck in a Scotty’s body. Sometimes he likes to pretend he’s racing down the street with sirens blasting catching perps, or rescuing people from burning buildings. This is one of those times.”

These guys should get together with Basil and form their own Tenors Trio.

To finish off, here are more opera dogs including Basil the Scottish Terrier. If this video doesn’t make you laugh, nothing will.
