Whimsical Scottish Terriers
Thanks to the Terrierman, whose blog you should definitely check out if you haven’t already. He’s the guy who may make me give up writing about dog shows.

“The prime time of the Scottie dog collectible was from the 1920s to the ’50s, thanks to successful advertising campaigns for Texaco, with their two Scottie dogs, and “Black & White Scotch Whisky” magazine ads from the ’40s,” writes Sandy Erdman in the Post-Bulletin of Rochester, Minnesota. “Scottie candy containers, glass powder jars with Scotties sitting on the lids, cigarette boxes and figurines are some of the many Scottie dog collectible items available. They were easily found in dime stores in their prime.”
And here’s something you wouldn’t find any more, a Scottie Dog cigarette holder. Poor creature must have gotten that cow-like coat colouring from all the smoking.
Find way more Scottie collectibles, including some truly fabulous ones, at tias.com – Scottie dog collectibles, the site recommended in the article.

Above is a site that aims to attract people who — you guessed it — have always wanted a Scottie Dog, but, presumably, because of bigger issues, have never been able to get said Scottie Dog and, as a result, feel the need to share their experiences on the internet. Not all that surprisingly, tno one has joined this group…yet.
My advice: Come round to the Scottish Terrier and Dog News, folks. Forget the Experience Project. Sounds too much like the Dharma Project anyway.

Wild Times at the Bed and Biscuit, the second children’s book in an expanding series, features a Scottish Terrier puppy who needs to be trained. Good luck with that, everybody.
Here’s the plot summary:
Ever since Grampa Bender opened his doors (and veterinary skills) to a despondent Canada goose, a cranky muskrat, and two tiny but rebellious fox kits, his animal boarding house has been turned upside down. Luckily, Ernest the mini-pig is on hand to marshal the other animals into being good hosts — but since wild things are, well, wild by nature, it has been trickier than he imagined. Plus Ernest is trying to train Sir Walter, the Scottish terrier puppy who is the newest addition to the family. But what if Sir Walter doesn’t want to be told what to do and decides that running wild like a fox sounds like lots of fun?

I’ve admitted before that I’m not a big fan of Scottish Terrier tchotchkes, but if I were, I’d definitely want one of these Dooney & Bourke Scottie bags. In fact, I sort of do want one, but I’m just not sure I’d ever use it as I am not very good about changing my handbags and this one definitely does not go with everything.
But I digress, if you’re buying a gift for someone who does like Scottie stuff, and you’re feeling generous, I’d say, get one of these.

The Scottie News has looked and it’s official, we can’t top last year’s collection of fantastic Scottish Terrier Christmas cards, many of which are still available. Since we don’t believe in reinventing the wheel, we’re sending you back in time.
Or you can head over to Amazon where they also have a pretty good selection of Scottie Dog Christmas cards
