Since we’ve got a bit of a Russian theme going on today, Scottie News would like to dedicate this next video to all those Scottish Terrier-loving tovariches, who also have a thing for soccer. We’re Canadian so we really don’t get why they’re playing the all English final in Moscow, but give us a vodka or two and it’ll all start to make sense.

The Wall street Journal looks at how the lives of today’s stray dogs compare to conditions experienced by canines under communism:

In Soviet times, dogs were barred from Moscow’s metro. Today, however, they are so common there — curling up on empty seats, nuzzling their neighbors, lounging in stations — that there is even a Web site devoted to them: www.metrodog.ru.

No Scottish Terriers sighted so far.

Groovy and the bug Sketch , originally uploaded by uneverchooz.

This wonderful sketch reminds me of my Scottish Terrier, Bridget, when she tries to catch ants, a hopeless pursuit for an animal with her kind of nose.

Riviera Dogs is a blog featuring “photos of dogs, and where possible their owners, in the south of France and Monaco.”

Yesterday it showcased a Scottish Terrier giving the stinkeye.

Guess, some Scotties just don’t know how to appreciate life on the Riviera.

The Cape Cod Times reports:

There was very little activity visible outside the Kennedy compound yesterday except for a few television news satellite trucks and paparazzi parked half a block away. A woman walking a Scottish terrier on nearby Scudder Avenue declined to identify herself, but said residents of the area were concerned for their neighbor.”The Kennedys are good neighbors. It’s the news media and tour buses who stir things up here,” she said.

What can we say? It’s a slow news day, and as, the Scottie News, has reported before, dogs and Kennedys attract readers.

Poor Barney the Scottish Terrier. It’s almost as bad as being Denis Thatcher. So many lame jokes told at his expense and there’s absolutely nothing he can do about it.

And while we’re on the subject of pets running the country, the former Canadian Prime Minister William Lyon Mackenzie King is said to have consulted his Irish Terrier, Pat, for poltical advice — as well as his ouija board and crystal ball.

The Pittsburgh Scottie puppies are now four weeks old and very puppyish:

They’ll be even more trouble in six weeks:

And finally, since we’re doing a Scottie puppy special, this is our all time favourite video of frisky Scottie young ‘uns.

If you’re anything like me you’ll have to watch this 25-year-old TV commercial featuring a Scottish Terrier at least twice before you can understand the accent. Bonus points if you figure out where the not-so-Scottish Scotsman is from.
