scottie dog photos 2 of my babys

[sweetheart]

This is the oldest, an 14 year old alpha female. The photo is
taken recently on top of ben hope, the northern most mountain top
in britain.


This is the alpha male, 3 years old.

The groomed shaped scottie dogs in the pictures are not able to
handle the weather and the wind, so i let their coats grow long
in the winter which is why they look wooly.

1. Aww they're beauties

My ex had a Westy that loved me more than her..when we broke up the dog got deeply depressed.

[sweetheart]

15. To be honest

they probably ALL love my spouse more than me.

I'm the asshole dog, who orders them around, whereas she's the loving
mother who gives them cuddles (even though i do probably even more)
but its the feremones as well.

The male dog will sleep next to my wife, but will only sleep near
my feet. The female (baby) will sleep in my arms and kiss me like
she's my mistress... though she loves her mother more.

The old gray ladies (there are more not pictured) are smart sneaky
creatures who like whomever feeds them... but they are soooo loyal.

I went for a swim near where these photos were shot (my home is
in the distance of these photos). So i'm wearing 4+ millimeters of
wetsuit (this is off the coast of norway!) and i go swimming in the
ocean... and my loyal oldest scotties follow me out to sea that i
have to turn back to rescue them from drowning.

What is it about dogs that god has build in such a human-love
circuit to them, that i love them as people. It is such a gift.
I am eternally grateful.

2. Your Scotties are cute!

Glad the photobucket worked for you. :-)

3. Very cute!

The silver coloring framing the eyes of your older dog is really pretty. :)

4. they are very very cute

give them a kiss from me :)

do you cut their toe-nails? I think the doggy on the upper pic needs her toe-nails cut.

[sweetheart]

6. The nails wear naturally

Mountain hiking and such pretty much keeps them ok. I only trim
the dew claws, as all of the dogs (these are just the alpha's) have
dew claws.

She's exhausted, as there is no trail up the mountain, rather just
a vertical climb that challenges me, and my legs are longer than
7 inches.

5. I love Scotties

are they are they a 'stubborn' and hard to train variety of terrier? I want to get another dog and a Scottie is high on my list along with Westies.

I have a Yorkie and he's a little love bug. Not really very small for a Yorkie he's a 10 lb'er. Not yappy at all and was trained in a week. Very good with everyone. Never growls or gaurds his food. He truly doesn't have a mean bone in his little body.

Any advice?

[sweetheart]

10. stubborn, very good at training people

They are extremely intelligent, and hard to "subjugate" if that is
what training means. THey catch field mice and rabbits near the
house. They come when called (after several times) whilst pretending
to be deaf the first few. ;-)

To me, they are mostly human, and the empthy we share is sublime.

They're never yappy and very loyal... and very very cute as puppies.


Here's the youngest girl, the photo is less good, but you can see
her puppy eyes. She won't eat the carrot in front of her, as she's
in heat, so she's looking for the male dog in the previous picture.

12. sweetheart don't you wish we could

FREE BARNEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :evilgrin:

[sweetheart]

13. Tell me about it!!

Barney is the only good force in the whitehouse. I'd be worried
if we did not have an agent listening in and mind controlling the
dunce as much is as scottily possible.

It should be a bumper sticker: "Free Barney; vote Kerry"

7. What cuties!

Great pictures, I wish I could get my cats to travel.

[shadu]

8. what kind of camera did you use?

those pictures are great

[sweetheart]

11. olympus C5000

Its a 5 megapixel. Olympus makes great cameras... though on a
clear day with no air pollution with bright sunlight lighting,
it makes it easier to see their eyes.

9. Absolutely adorable.

16. I like your scotties!

I grew up with them. They are the best dogs! We had one named Angus who used to steal my socks all the time and bury them in the couch. One summer, I put my two-piece bathing suit on the clothesline in our yard to dry and when I went out to get it, only the top was there. Angus and I looked around the yard for it, under bushes, etc., but it was no where to be found. Come to find out, it must have blew off the line and Angus found it and buried it in a big pile of sand my dad had on the patio for some construction project. I didn't find it until the next spring! I often wonder what he was thinking about when we were walking around the yard looking for it: "What are we looking for?" What a great dog. I miss him.

17. Scotties and human clothing

I wonder what they think these big fabric "coats" are, and why
we're so hairless. The puppy has been chewing the little plastic
thingies off of my fleece jackets, that tighten up the bottom.
You know those little black plastic grabbers that hold the elastic
firm at the bottom of some coats to keep wind from blowing up the
coat... well, puppy has done away with such devices. Apparently
in scottie lore, some aspects of human dress are simply unacceptable
:-)

We are blessed to have had our clothing "edited" by scottie fashion
designers.
