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.

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!
