Dear readers,
I am disappointed to inform you Wallace the Scottish Terrier is only ranking 521 in the Fido casting call competition.
This is absolutely not good enough. Scottie News has more than 500 visitors a day, 750 email recipients and more than 700 RSS subscribers , who can vote every day for Wallace from both work and home computers not to mention smart phones, etc.
There is nothing sketchy about this at all. You don’t have to register for anything or even give up your email address. Fido used to be my phone company and I can vouch for them.
For every vote, Fido donates $1 to Canadian guide dogs so this is about more than just breed chauvinism.
Let’s get out the Scottie vote! I’m off to do my daily duty and raise $1.

Hello fellow Scottie owners and lovers!
I’ve been a fan of this blog for a few years now, so it popped right into my mind that this would be a good place to share this information. I’ve entered my lil scottie, Wallace, into the Fido casting call to be their newest mascot! If any of you have time to vote for him, he would love to be “top dog” and show some Scottie representation 
Here’s the link if you’re interested in voting for Wallace. With your help, Wallace could appear in a Fido ad. Plus, Fido is donating $1 for every vote to Lions Foundation of Canada Dog Guides. Check out this pooch’s Casting Sheet and vote every day.
Keep on chasing those squirrels!
Scottie News would like to assure Stacey that we’re going to do everything we can to get out the vote. In 24 hours, we want to Wallace move from spot #928 to at least the seven hundreds. Please, everyone, a vote for Wallace is a vote for the future of Scottish Terriers. Do it for the puppies you haven’t even met.

I wanted to share with you a picture I found on my porch. I am not sure who the artist is since I have a scottie, a westie and 3 wieners, but someone or collective maybe, created a masterpiece in the shape of scottie with erm…….doggy pee!!! I thought when I showed it to my family they would tell me I was seeing things, but they agree!!! I hope you find it amusing and if you wish to, may use it on your news to amuse others.
Scottie News hopes Sarah’s able to identify the artist and, in the mean time, we will call on our readers to try and come up with a suitable name for this artwork. How about Pissed Off to start?

Black Scotties are natural stinkers
Over the past few years, Halloween costumes for dogs have become seriously popular. Amazon has dozens on offer
ranging from skunks to pumpkins to princesses. You could even turn your princess into a pumpkin or — if you have two dogs — make them a pair.
The Scottish Terrier News recommends the skunk costume if you’re looking for something classic. Click the link to see another Scottie skunk from Halloweens past or view the complete Halloween archives.
Of course, the super talented make their own costumes, but we can’t all be as lion-esque as Zebedee. Roar!
Good enough to eat -- as long as there's another one to look at
Who doesn't need a custom Scottish Terrier leash holder?
Get more information about these Scottish Terrier art works on Flickr. Here’s the Scottie cupcake and here’s the leash holder. They both look delicious.

A few weeks back, Scottie News challenged readers to find a celeb lookalike for this Scottish Terrier. In addition to the comments on the original post, the following suggestions and photos arrived via email.
Lauren nominated James Dean as a match.
Scottie News says, "Va va va vroom!"
Virginia thought of Steve McQueen.
Scottie News says, "We especially like the leather."
Cocoanal wrote: “If You take the High Road and I take the Enfield, then I’ll be in Scotland afore ye!”
And the winner is … the REAL Big Mac with Snoopy, who has the missing goofy factor those other hotties lack. Hotness may get you farthest in real life, but it won’t let you grab the lookalike trophy from a deserving dog at the Scottie News.
Please send us your favourite photo of your dogs, REAL Big Mac, and we will attempt to match them with their celeb lookalikes.

Cut-it-Out by Noma Barr
The always fabulous Interior Design Hound has the details on artist Noma Bar’s giant paper punching Scottie Dog creation.
And while we’re on the subject of giant dog art, there’s this, and this, although we’re not sure the latter deserves to be called art.

We always knew Rasmus could become internet famous
This is one of those “honours” that not everyone wants to have conferred on them — having your photo posted at dogs.icanhascheezburger.com.
In the case of Rasmus, a sophisticated Scandinavian Scottish Terrier, we have serious doubts whether he’ll be pleased. But you never know — he could be a secret fameball wannabe.
Go check it out and be sure to vote for him for “Teh Goggie Breed ob teh Week!”
