Scottish Terrier GIF

Thanks to Laura, for sending the first ever GIF to the be featured on the Scottie News. Those head-turners are Bella (l) and Ceilidh. And in keeping with the black-and-white theme, below we have Piper (wheaten) and Percy, who are a year and a half old, and look as cute from behind as they do head-on.

Blame Canada if the next two black-and-whites are a little seasonally inappropriate. Things were super busy at the Toronto world headquarters of the Scottie News and we, cough, cough, overlooked the odd email or two. Give it up for Carol’s two handsome Scotties, who hail from L.A.

Robin of Locksley Scottish Terriers sends a black and white video:

And now for some basic black, please allow the Scottie News to introduce you to a couple of Oregon Duck fans.  Flora (left, 1 year old) and John-Paul (4 years old).  They’re just back from the groomers and all decked out in Oregon Duck regalia.

Also hailing from Oregon is Avery’s Mr. Chips O’Toole, shown here waiting patiently for his treat. He’s based in Portland.

Scottie News is not sure where this mother/daughter Scottie team make their home. Mom is Berksha (6 years) and daughter is Lenka (6 months).

Fergus aka Batdog! has the dubious distinction of having appeared on Dog Shaming along with Scottie News. But given his background as a survivor of the biggest puppy mill seizure in Canadian history, maybe his little lapse is understandable.

His person says Fergus is his hero and “the fact that his ears make the Bat symbol is just an awesome bonus…;)”

From super hero to sports hero, Sally’s Fairley — shown below at an Auburn tailgate last fall — was named after former AU defensive lineman Nick Fairley.

Justin is a bit of mystery man. All, we know about him is this was his first party.

Aidan is also another good looking mystery man.

Yeah, Aidan!

RIP, Noah, who died in June 2012 at age eight. He’s very much missed:

So too is the late great Schatzi from South Africa.

Last June, Scottie News featured a tribute to Julie’s late dog LuLu, who also happened to be my girl Bridget’s mother. As part of the great cycle of life, Julie got a new Scottie, Baxter, last fall to keep LuLu’s daughter Flora company. Julie wrote:

Little Baxter is now four months old, and has been an amazing addition to our family. Flora was a little miffed with us in the beginning but they have become good friends. It’s so sweet to see them snuggling up together, and now that Baxter has all of his shots, seeing him out walking with Flora. It’s also heartwarming to see Flora go from “daughter” to “mother”, as Baxter now follows her head and looks up to her, the way she did to Lulu. It’s really heartwarming.

Here’s Baxter is in all his adorable puppiness:

Can you believe the border guards hassled this little guy when he immigrated to Canada?

Danie writes with news of another family addition:

This is a picture of Mac (Macgregor) 2 months after I received him from the New England Scottie Rescue. He is the happiest little soul on earth!  Pampered Pets of Delaware had just given him his first haircut and underneath all that curly mess was a great looking scottie.  I didn’t care what he ended up looking like – he has a personality that is unbelievably sweet and cuddlely (is that even a word?!) I’m his and he is mine!!!  His girlfriend Lovey keeps him going all day long running all over house.  I was giving them 2 of everything but they rather have 1 thing and steal it away from each other!

Rescue Scottie Dog

Favourite song: Rescue Me!

What else? Dorman sent this holiday animation, which much to my eternal shame is being posted late. But let’s just pretend it’s for Robbie Burns Day — and early.

Dorman also sent some Scottish Terrier rock carvings. He writes, “My first and last impression is that this rock carving is a Scottie on the back of the cow…” Hmm, Rorschach test, anyone?

Look closely

And finally, Amanda wrote recently to inform the Scottie News that PawNation recently named the Scottish Terrier as one of 12 dog breeds that are out of fashion. Being a devoted “Scottie Mom,” she took issue with this statement and posted some photographic evidence to support her argument. Check it out.

Scottie News hopes we’ve finally gotten all our readers’ dog photos up.

We are trying to set up a system to allow readers to post their own photos, but it will take a while to get it in place. We’ll let you know when it’s ready.

The Scottie Rules have been added to yesterday’s post. See how many your Scottish Terrier obeys.

The flossing scene starts at about 3:30Yesterday’s video about Mac the Scottie dog getting his teeth brushed attracted a lot of well deserved attention. If you haven’t watched it yet, do as agraciesma said, “Be sure to stick with this video until the flossing begins!”

Mac’s personal tooth brusher Russ also wrote in with some more info:

We started the teeth brushing with just a ” finger-rub ” with the Petrodex poulty flavored toothpaste. From there we progressed to having him lick some of the toothpaste off of the brush and continued to do a little more each time. He knows the routine. I warm the brush in a cup of water for 10 seconds in the microwave and he follows me to our spot. The only area that he is not crazy about having brushed is the inside of the upper teeth on his right side. My guess is that it tickles! I was actually off a little when I said that he gets his teeth brushed every night. We missed the evenings of January 27 and 28 as I was having surgery and spent two nights in the hospital. Otherwise we have been consistent almost from the time he found us at five months of age.

Next time, I’ll relate the story about the time he ate the tube!

P.S. Thanks for all the nice compliments, but the credit goes to him!

If you feel inspired, you can pick up dog tooth-brushing supplies at Amazon.

Cartoonist and Scottie-mix owner Anna Trodglen, whose work was featured at the Scottish Terrier and Dog News yesterday, wrote to say that we’d shown rat terriers, and not her dog Bonnie.

Whoops!

” Bonny, my Scottie mix, actually LOOKS like a Scottie,” she says.

Here she is:

I’ll have what she’s having!

A special Scottish Terrier couch

Scottie News is perfect for reading on the couch


First, thanks again for your support.

And I apologize if you got an email yesterday that was meant for non-premium subscribers only. My bad. I screwed up the mailing list procedure.

It’s taken a while to get the bugs worked out of the new Premium and newsletter systems, but I think we’re just about ready to declare victory. Touch wood.

If you are having any issues at all, please let me know at scottishterriernews@gmail.com.

Onward and upward and enjoy today’s Scottie News.

Scotty in Gumnut Land by May GibbsA North Sydney newspaper reports:

Every year on January 15, Scotty dogs become a familiar sight trotting along Wallaringa Ave in Neutral Bay to be special guests at the party at Nutcote.

It is reminiscent of (Author May) Gibbs’s heyday when she was a familiar sight shopping at Neutral Bay with her dogs perched on the back seat of her 1920s Dodge Tourer.

Nutcote, where Gibbs lived for 44 years, hosts the birthday party each year.

Whoa, wait, May Gibbs, who? Should the Scottish Terrier and Dog News know about her? Apparently, she’s one of Australia’s top children’s authors, known for gumnut baby stories, the most famous of which is Snugglepot And Cuddlepie. But she was also a Scottish Terrier lover and breeder, which explains how there came to be a Scotty in Gumnut Land.

Has anybody out there read it?
