Check out adorable Mona, the star of her very own Westie blog:

And, just a reminder, if you missed last weeks’s late Westie Wednesday, you should check it out. It was a good one, but for some reason, it didn’t generate a lot of reaction.

eBay is a treasure trove of many things including old Black and White whiskey ads. There are the tame ones:

And then there are the naughty 1974 ads complete with drinking and sexist jokes. Someone get these terriers a guest spot on Mad Men:

From the Toronto Sun, where they think a Schnauzer is a Scottie, according to the photo

Q: We have a 4½-month-old purebred Scottish terrier and we are using the “all positive” training method with limited success.

Outside and inside he is either biting or snapping at feet, hands and fingers. We have tried loudly saying “no biting!” It hasn’t worked. In the yard, he can be controlled best when on leash but if off leash, it is disastrous. Other owners are telling me he is simply young and will outgrow this.

We don’t want to “beat up” the little fellow but we are becoming exasperated with him.

— Rob Roy

And from the Toronto Star:

Q: I realize I am not supposed to attribute sophisticated human emotions to my Scottish terrier, but there are times when I just know she is being deliberately defiant. For example, on many occasions, before she bolts away from me (to explore the neighbourhood), she will look over her shoulder to check that I cannot catch her — and then run for it. At other times, if we are doing obedience training and practicing basic moves, at a certain point, she will just cease to respond and obey. Do you have any advice?

Go ahead, pretend you’re a pet advice columnist dealing with disobedient Scottish Terriers. Comment away

We’ve seen Scottie agility champs before, but what makes this video special is that Annie has a distinctly Scottie agility style, emphasized by the long-shot camera work. She’s adorable.

Thanks to Mark for who spotted this story on Life With Dogs:

When Snowy the West Highland terrier became ill and stopped eating, her worried owners took her to the vet.

But a new diet, medical tests and even antibiotics failed to perk up the little dog.
It was only when the one-year-old had an X-ray that it became obvious she had fallen victim to a dog’s traditional enemy – cats.

Snowy had swallowed five plastic toy cats. The biggest was two inches tall and an inch wide and showed up clearly, and rather spookily, on the X-ray.

No, not a Scottie. One of Princess Bea’s Norfolks.

Needless to say, the royal dog fight has provoked a lot of commentary, including this:

And I have experience of an aggressive little dog attacking a harmless big one. On holiday, aged 12, my tremendously good-natured boxer dog, Lusty, was viciously attacked by a Scottie. For no reason that I could see. And they were out in a large stable yard. There wasn’t even the excuse of a corridor.
