Meet The Very Important Pooches
- Boy
- Dog date of birth: 4 May 2014
- Owner: Jann
- Country:
- Have you had your dog since they were puppies?: Yes
- Was your dog a rescue dog?: No
- How long have you been parent to Scotties?: All my life. The first Ben was a wedding present to my parents and predated my brothers and I
- Do you have any Scottie Dog memorabilia? If yes, what kind?:
Yes – lots! A cupboard full of mugs. Many pictures and paintings. Cushions, rugs, draught excluders. Duvet cover. Towels. Table cloths. Lots of cuddly toys. Scarves. Bags for crochet wool. Several jumpers/shirts. Tins. Ornaments. Bookends. Salt and pepper pots. Umbrellas. Window sticker. Wrapping paper. You name it and I’ve probably got one!
- Highlights of my dog’s life:
Ben is the most curious dog I have ever had. Anyone coming out of house – who’s that? Any workmen coming to the house – what’s that in your tool box/bag? Anyone on a bench – hello, have you got anything to eat? Picnic-ers – you must have a sandwich for me? My friends – if I run off with your gloves, shopping bags, tissues/handkerchiefs (or anything else I can steal from your handbags) will you chase me for it: I love to be chased? People tell me ‘he’s a character’ and ‘he’s very cute’ – and he is! If I go out without him people stop me and ask where he is – sometimes I don’t know them but they know Ben!

What our members say about their Scottie
Muffin
Our dog, Muffin, does not live with me but with my parents in Spain but she is the life of the party.
A thing I love about her is her ear game, always looking like an uninterested tough lady with her ears up and long brows until she sees you and her ears drop and you see her brown eyes shining as she comes to you.
A funny story is that she knows exactly when bath time will happen, and will hide for a bit while preparations take place because she absolutely hates it (taking the hair drier out, testing the water temperature etc…), but she knows there is no other way around it and this is when you see a black shadow, with her ears dropped and tail between her back legs, emerging to come to terms with her fate.
Once bathed, we love to play with her and run like mad from one end of the house to the other – with a happy ending as she gets a treat for behaving so well!
That also makes me think of her sharp food radar…but that is another story for another day!
