Dallas Dhu deep in the heart of Texas

Ken Ewing writes: “Dallas fills the void left by Whiskie, the late movie star. He joins Chivas and Cutty in the Ewing Scottie Gang.”

And yes, the Ewings do indeed hail from Dallas, Texas  where  they continue the excellent tradition of naming their Scotties after fine whiskeys. Dallas Dhu, by the way, means “Black Water Valley” in Gaelic. Hmm, shouldn’t that be black gold?

And speaking of Ewings in Dallas, the TV series will be making a comeback this summer.

Above are the puppies that topped the Scottie News last week. Their “fur mom” Sandy wrote: “It was a wonderfully fun photo to take and I’ll always remember that litter. It’s a wonder our household survived their childhood.”

In Los Angeles, looks count

Song and Dash are a brother and sister team from Los Angeles. Their guardian/sylist writes: “We left her hair a little longer since we couldn’t tell them apart. He, though, tends to almost yodel when he barks…..is that a trait?”

Hmmm, does aroooo count as yodelling?

When their sister Amber comes to visit, she likes to snooze on the rocks:

Scottie News will have more photos of your fabulous dogs going up over the long weekend. Stay tuned.

If you are a regular reader, you’ve heard this song before — many times. But here it comes again…

Dear Scottie News readers,

I am so sorry for taking so long to get some of these pictures of your wonderful dogs posted. And I am even sorrier if I’ve forgotten or lost a photo of a much-loved Scottie.

If that’s the case, please send them along again as March break is coming up soon and that means, the Scottie News will have an intern slaving on duty at our world headquarters.

Yours sincerely.

Meet Dottie the Scottie in St. Louis, where she lives with Dan and Maureen

Dottie hopes for some table scraps

Handsome Watson was the only surving dog in his litter. Sadly, the others all died of a virus.

Eight-month-old Stella lives in San Juan, Puerto Rico. So what's she doing in that coat?

Handsome Oscar hails from New York State

After his guardian Lois used up all her and white and black yarn making him a coat, Barclay cheered for the Dalmation to win Westminster. "Fortunately," writes Lois, "after the photo shoot, the offending 'coat' was removed...and, better yet, there will not be a Pekingese 'coat.'"

Helen writes:

We have had Miyagi (the white and black cat) for about 5 years now and we decided to get a Scottish terrier (Nessie).

Migagi always greets us at the drive way and escorts us to the front gate, off course Nessie is always standing ready to greet us.

At first we thought the cat would really not be able to adjust to her new sibling , slowly they managed to get use to each other.

Nessie is 6 Months old now and at least once a day I see them playfully chasing each other around the house (they each get a turn to chase).

I think its safe to say they are now used to each other.

Above is “Traveler” Bold Article’s Black House Troop at four weeks old late last year. His breeder Marie wrote: “He is a full brother to the Scotties in the Uncle Sherman video and will be going to the same home as his brother Fiddler, who was in the video with the red collar. As a singleton, he has his mom all to himself but for added stimulation, I have added an Airedale beanie baby (right). It gives him something to fight with and snuggle up to when Mom is out.”

Clanci waiting for the Mystic Krewe of Barkus at a Mardi Gras parade:

Keep calm? At Mardi Gras? Really?

This may be the Scottie News but we can’t figure out whether the adorable Gypsie Girl is a wheaten Scottish Terrier puppy or a Westie.

If you are a Westie, you're still way too cute to have to wait for a Westie Wednesday moment
