Where In The World?

Posted on May 5, 2012 by

OK. I know where I am today, New York City, (just like I pictured it…skyscrapers and everything) BUT, I don’t know where I’m going.

Do you? Maybe one of these cab drivers will take me somewhere cool. Neat!

What You Learned Today:

  • Saturdays I take little trips.
  • Most of the time I don’t know where I end up when I click my little paws together.
  • But sometimes I do.
  • Like today.
  • I’m in NYC.
  • Where do you think I’m going in the Big Apple?
  • It’s a big city. Maybe a cinco de mayo festival?
  • If you were in New York today, where would you go?

I’m A Champion!

Posted on May 3, 2012 by

From Fala to Sadie, lots of Scotties have been deemed champions. But none, yes, none, have the designation that I enjoy.

I am a championship SLEEPER.

From when I just a wee pup to today as a manly man…

This slideshow requires JavaScript.

I wear the crown of Champion Sleeper.

What You Learned Today:

  • Sleeping is one of the things I do best.
  • In fact, it is my chosen sport.
  • I reign supreme.
  • You have my permission to try and beat my personal best: staying in bed until 10:00 or 10:30 AM on weekends. When my peeps have to wake me up.
  • So let me know how that works, ‘K?

Watercolor Wednesday

Posted on May 2, 2012 by

It’s Wednesday! Time for some art!

Oh me. As you can see, I’m, uh, after somebody across the street. See how tight my martingale collar is? Yep. That’s me. If I weren’t on this leash, I’d be after that other doggie in a New York minute. Which, I believe, is kinda short.

What You Learned Today:

  • As mild mannered as I am, there are a couple of dogs that I just don’t like. At. All.
  • I remember this day. I was going to go after her, but I was all lassoed up, so I couldn’t.
  • Hard to believe, I know.
  • I’m usually such a laid back guy.

Just Turn That Frown Upside Down!

Posted on May 1, 2012 by

Have you ever noticed that dogs make people smile? And, well, Scotties I have to say, we Scotties make folks smile ALOT!

Not a car goes past Us while We’re out walking where the driver doesn’t stare and smile at me. Sometimes they do a double take. Almost like whiplash.

People poke each other and point at me, then smile. ALOT.

It’s nice to wield such power.

What You Learned Today:

  • Think about it. When was the last time you saw a Scottie and didn’t smile? Hum? Really.
  • I think weiner dogs have the same affect.
  • And maybe a Westie or two.
  • The next time you find yourself frowning, just hop on over to The Scottie Chronicles and turn that frown upside down!
  • Or, at the very least, take a gander at a dog. I’ll bet you’ll smile.

Did They Or Didn’t They?

Posted on April 30, 2012 by

You may have heard that the Dutch beer behemoth Heineken found itself in a bit of trouble recently. Seems their promotional banners were photographed on display at a dog fight in Asia. Maybe Mongolia. And the photo was from last year, but it’s getting traction now.

Now, I’ve read some of these stories and the company explains that the banners were there from an event the night before. Wonder why they don’t say what the “event” was? If it wasn’t dog fighting, then why not just say so?

What do you think? Did Heineken know that the venue was being used for dog fights? Or didn’t they?

What You Learned Today:

  • Sometimes things you see on the Internet are true. Sometimes they’re not.
  • Heineken promotional banners are clearly visible in a building where dog fighting takes place. (Or are they? Is it a bit of some not-so-fun-foto-fabrication?)
  • Do you wonder if Heineken is telling the truth?
  • Better yet, do you wonder why people like dog fighting?
  • I’d like to deprive their kids of life’s basics, teach them to fight and kill, and throw them into a ring at the same place and see how they like that.
