What a week. First, the trip to the DoGtor’s office.
Lemme outta here.
Then, the daily baths. Really? Every day?
How I hate this. Lemme outta here.
Then, a good shake. Now THAT, I like.
Taylor Swift’s got nothing on me. I can shake it off better than anybody.
Then, I have to wait for the peep to bring out the dreaded blow dryer to dry off my belly.
Really, this isn’t a beauty parlor and you haven’t asked me if I wanted a glass of wine. I HATE the dryer.
In case you didn’t know, we Scotties have more dignity than any other anipal on Earth. Yes. It’s true. Just ask one if you don’t believe me.
There’s nothing worse than losing your dignity. This week has been a real test. And I think I passed.
But I’m sorry to say that I nipped at my Godmother Carol when she hoisted me up on my back legs to take a look at my belly on Monday. She was only trying to help. As always. So, in my appreciative Scottie way, I thanked her by taking the cookie she gave me.
Wasn’t that nice of me?
Methinks the belly boo boo is on its way out. My skin is so smooth and soft. The hairs are growing back (I’m all about the testosterone thank doG) and even my tootsies, which used to smell like Fritos corn chips sometimes, are fresh as daisies.
Just so you know, thanks to my Blogville pals for telling me this, when your feet smell like Fritos corn chips, it’s because of yeast or bacterium proteus or pseudomonas. And with all the walking we do in wet grasses it’s no wonder you can smell it cause, my feet at least, never dry out. It’s nothing to worry about. Actually, my feet do dry out. I’m just being dramatic.
That’s my pawsitive news for today. And I’ve got lots more to share thanks to my foreign and domestic news correspondents. So, stay tuned. And go eat some Fritos.

Mom says Andy’s head always smells like a taco – no matter how many baths he has. But Fritos, now that’s just not good. The Peeps eat them, but not us. Glad you are on the mend. Nothing like a daily bath to bring out the grrrrrrrr in us. We don’t know how the Peeps do it. Sometimes they take more than 1 bath a day and they seem to actually like it. Go figure……………

I take medicated baths, too, Stuart. My Peep gives me one or two between visits to the Doggie Spa, and they use the same shampoo from the Dogtor that my Peep gave them. I have allergies and take meds daily and go for a shot weekly. So I know what it’s like. You just keep being stoic, after all, you’re a Scottie! It’s soon be over for you and you can do the Happy Dance!

Luvs the smell of Frito tootsies, Stu!!!
Mum loves it when I stick my toes close to her nose when we is in bedie-bye so she can wiff up dat Frito smell! She’s got a paw fetish! Go figure! My Frito-feet odeur comes right back the second day after a bathy, and mum does not mess around making sure every part of us is squeaky clean! Sis and I both get the Frito-toe-aroma. Must be the California clay(?), (DoG knows there is nuttin’ green out here after 4 years of the doggone drought, fires and extreme year round heat without let-up!)
So glad you are belly-rub worthy again! Sorry you hads to put up with all of da extra bathies! Down deep you knows you loves the ‘xtra attention you so rightly deserve! It takes some sacrifice to maintain your star status-gorgeosity after all! your mum sure does love her STU!
We are glad you’re on the mend, too!
