Dog(s) of the Week!
For the first time ever, two dogs share the prize
Arrroooo! We are honored that our boys have made Dogs of the Week for all our Scottish Terrier friends. Montgomery is 10 ½ year old wheaten Scottie and Gillis is our 10 month old black Scottie. Scottish Terriers come in three colors black, wheaten and brindle of any color.
We find that people that are not around the breed are not aware that Scotties do come in a wheaten color too. Montgomery has been the best of brothers to all but one of our Scotties, Brigadoon, who passed before we brought Montgomery into our home. Montgomery’s purpose has been to share and help with his brothers. He was still a pup when we lost our first Scottie Brutus and we got him a companion the following spring, Angus. Then a wonderful older rescue Duncan came into our home and we were blessed with the four years we had with our three amigos. Our beloved Angus passed last year of a Sarcoma cancer that he battled valiantly through his amputation of his front leg and we were blessed to have him an extra year. This last winter we wanted a companion for Montgomery. Montgomery 
may be older but he is very young at heart. So enter Gillis who I’m sure has joined our family with the purpose of teaching patience, forgiveness and understanding.
Montgomery loves people and will stand on his back legs waving his front paws to greet people. He is very mischievous and even in his older age he will still toilet paper the house if we forget to shut the bathroom door. He loves his rubber chicken family that he gets to play with only during limited times when Gillis is not around to destroy them. This is a picture of Montgomery.
Gillis is full of spunk and very headstrong. He also likes to climb on things and he has to be watched constantly. Just the other night I heard a rustling behind me and turned to see he had jumped on a chair then leapt onto the kitchen table to help himself to the treat bag.
The Scottish Terrier’s nickname is the Diehard because they are very determined and proud. You have to be prepared to work with a Scottie and provide steady, firm leadership. I’ve also found some wonderful friendships with my Scottie friends because I know immediately I’m dealing with some very determined and loyal people. 
We have known several wonderful Scottish Terrier Rescue groups, SK9 Scotties in Ohio, Bonhaven in Oklahoma , Memory of Monroe in Minnesota, North Texas Rescue and St Louis Scottie Rescue – these are just a few of the many wonderful people that work endlessly to help Scotties find the right home. Not every home is right for a Scottie and it’s important to know the traits. We have been going to the Door County Scottie Rally in Door County WI for several years. It is a wonderful gathering of people that are focused on fellowship and education of the Scottish Terrier breed. Money is raised for both health research and Scottish Terrier Rescue. This is why we are choosing to send the money to the Door County Scottie Rally. Check out their website for information www.doorcountyscottierally.com
