A reader sent this along with the obligatory disclaimer that it may be nothing more than a wild internet rumour. I’m passing it along just in case it isn’t. Any feedback you may have is welcome.
WARNING!!! the virus that I nearly lost my dogs with is still rampant at the moment, the vets seem to be taking too long to recognise the symptoms, because there is no temperature until about 4 days after the symptoms most vets are treating the dogs for poisoning or foreign body in the gut, the symptoms are , vomiting large amounts of water with or without white foam, yellow watery poos.
So far there is only 1 antibiotic that I know that works and it saved my 7 dogs, STMORGYL. Please pass this on as I have heard today that a puppy in the next village to us (near Stowmarket) died in the night and met a friend just an hour ago and her friend has lost 2 dogs in the past 2 weeks all with the same symptoms all treated for the wrong thing at the vets. I feel we are extremely lucky with our vets that they listened to us when we insisted on antibiotics straightaway – the first one didn’t work but the above mentioned one did, either of these symptoms on their own or together could be the virus and the dog will feel cool or even cold with no temperature, PLEASE PLEASE PASS THIS ON – one more dog lost is too many thank you.

Poor Malachy the Pekingese. The little guy’s been dealing with a lot of haterz since he won the 2012 Westminster title earlier this week. While the Scottie Newsagrees that his handler, David Fitzpatrick, was a bit OCD with that omnipresent purple brush, we don’t think Malachy should be blamed for that. The Pekes we’ve known have always been pretty tough little dogs.
And according to www.webvet.com, they are the toy dog most appealing to men. Famous owners of Pekingese include Alice Roosevelt, J.P. Morgan, Elizabeth Taylor and Pakistan’s former President, Pervez Musharraf (shown below).
The Pekingese is the preferred toy dog of macho men and dictators

The Daily Mail reports in its inimitable fashion:
This Peke was at his peak.
Malachy the Pekingese wobbled off with best in show tonight at the Westminster Kennel Club, becoming America’s dog to the delight of an adoring crowd that called his name.
The four-year-old bobbing pompom won his 115th overall best in show title. He beat out a Dalmatian, German shepherd, Doberman pinscher, Irish setter, a Kerry blue terrier and wire-haired dachshund at Madison Square Garden.
Scottie News congratulates Malachy. We’re still feeling the Sadie glow. From one winner to another and all that.

Has there ever been a Scottie seeing eye dog?

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.

Definitely not my daughter
What are you to your Scottie?
Mom, fur Dad, mistress, master, owner, supreme ruler, commander in chief, loyal subject?
But seriously, I can’t call myself Bridget’s “mother” for two reasons. One, it’s not my style. And, two, I already have a human daughter.
Mistress doesn’t seem right either. I’m too old for it and there are the sexual overtones.
On many occasions, I’ve used owner simply because it seemed the only option but I don’t like it as I feel it doesn’t accurately reflect our relationship. My dog’s not just something I own.
Lately, I’ve been referring to Scotties and their peeps. But while that works well in the plural, it’s awkward, to say, “I’m Bridget’s peep” in the singular
All this is why I was interested to discover that more than a dozen years ago Boulder became the first city in the U.S. to officially refer to pet owners as “guardians.” It’s one of many nuggets of information in a recent column by a Scottish Terrier-owning guardianing journalist at the Denver Post.
How do you describe your relationship to your Scottie?
