- Highlights of my dog’s life:
Story 1 (true but a bit disgusting) Late one night he got in the pond then in my bed so I shut him in my bedroom and he had to poo then ate the poo to hide it then sicked up the poo and when I woke up the smell was bad so I opened the door and it was all smeared under and
He gave me a remorse-free, cheery look to say “This is clearly all your doing.”
Such was, indeed, the case.
Story 2 (less disgusting but says more about me than Hamish)
We went to the park at dusk and by the time we got to the bottom it was quite dark and he wouldn’t come to heel but the vet said you must never give in to a Scottie so I stood my ground and had been shouting commands at him for quite some time before I felt an inquiring nose at my calf. I then realised I had spent ten minutes bellowing “HEEL” at one of those poo bins on a stick.

What our members say about their Scottie
Alba
I am a true free spirit. When Mum first saw me I had just learned to walk (or maybe that’s tumble) and I was trying to escape from my enclosure. I was the first to break out and find my scottie Mum’s dinner. Mungo, my mate, taught me to dig when I first arrived, and I’ve been digging ever since. Unfortunately we have a courtyard garden and although I’ve tried very hard to dig under the walls, I’ve not been successful at breaking out. Mum is paranoid about the gate – double bolted and regularly checked. There is, however, a weak spot. There is a small area of fencing separating our garden from one of the neighbours. We got Mum into dreadful trouble – she thought she’d dog proofed the fence but one day, when no one was looking, we managed to pull off a bit of gate and break through. We left a few deposits on the artificial lawn (Mum had to remove them and wash the lawn), knocked over a low wall and there was a bit of breakage to some ceramic ornaments. Mum had lots of apologising to do, had to replace the ornaments and we are waiting for a new gate and fencing to be put in. It was great fun and I spend much of my time, when I am in the garden trying, to return to say hello to the lovely neighbours. Anyway, when I am not digging, I’m climbing. Managed to get onto the ironing board and dining room table, all over the lounge furniture and there are lots of places to climb in the garden. Unfortunately getting down is a bit trickier, so I occasionally need rescuing. Thoroughly enjoying life and looking forward to lots of adventures. Signed: Alba.
