What happens when Wen does random searching online?  She inevitably finds Scottie stuff!  Our latest acquisition is a Scottie planter from Petforhouse that came in both black and white and in three different sizes.  After looking at tons of dog breed planters, cat planters, and other animals, she decided that we needed the large Scottie planter in white.

The planter arrived as a kit that needed to be assembled, but it was easy to build and in a few minutes, the planter was ready to go.  It can be used outdoors, but Wen wants to use it as a decoration inside.  Festive, huh?

Oh, no, not again!  Unfortunately, Wen discovered that Sadie had another ear hematoma the other day.  This time she wasn’t shaking her head or scratching at her ear like she had the two previous times, so there was no obvious warning.

Sadie had looked perfectly normal early that morning, but several hours later, Wen caught her slinking across the living room floor with her tail tucked, as if she had done something wrong and when she picked up Sadie, Sadie let out a scream.  Not only did she feel as if she had a fever, but her left ear had filled up with blood, so off to the vet they went.

Dr. Nina repaired Sadie’s ear hematoma and she was back home in three hours with her head wrapped and wearing a cone.  Hopefully her ear will heal without any issues and this will be the last hematoma she gets, but it will take many weeks to heal.  It’s too bad that Sadie is susceptible to those darn allergies that are responsible for itchy ear infections that make dogs shake their heads.  It’s even worse that this is the third ear hematoma that she’s had!  Poor Sadie!

Lucky me!  My wardrobe just got a boost!  Wen came home with a new baseball cap and a hoodie for me.  How do I look?  Do I look cool?

Sometimes when we go outside first thing in the morning, we Scotties like to sit on the deck and check out what’s going on around us.  We listen for other dogs in the neighborhood and for birds during the warm months and we are always on the lookout for bird and squirrel intruders.  It’s our version of an early morning watch over our territory, because we Scotties are in charge of defending our home.  Okay, and maybe we’re just plain nosy!

Our mom, Wen has a really bad cold right now and we Scotties have heard a lot of coughing and sneezing lately.  She has spent a lot of time on the couch the last couple of days and all three of us have kept her company because we are a loyal crew.  No cold is going to keep us from  doing our duty of keeping watch over our mom!

Hey, everybody!  It’s Valentine’s Day!  Please accept my HEARTY good wishes for the best Valentine)s Day ever!

Last night was the Super Bowl and it was a close game between the Chiefs and 49ers.  We were all ready for the big game with plenty of snacks and we were entertained the entire time with the lead going back and forth and then into overtime with the Chiefs finally winning in a tense overtime.  It was definitely a super Super Bowl!

Here we go, another weekend snow.  Yep, for some reason, Saturday has become the go-to day for snowstorms in our region.  Just when you get accustomed to nice sunny weather during the week, a blast of snow moves through on the weekend to remind us that winter is nowhere close to being over.  I think that groundhog with his prediction of an early spring can’t be trusted!

Rocky Mountain Scottish Terrier Club hosted lots of events back in the day where members brought their dogs to get together at picnics in local parks.  There was always good food and fun activities at these events and many candid pictures of the dogs were taken.  Sometimes, they would invite a professional photographer to set up an area to take pictures of the Scotties that members could later purchase and the members would help to pose their dogs with props.

One year, a photographer brought a huge baby buggy as a prop and Wen was a little worried that her three Scotties would sit still in the buggy long enough to get a good picture of them, but surprisingly they cooperated!

Yo, yo, yo!  I thought I’d be a cool musician today, wearing my fedora.  How am I doing?  Any requests?
