The Scottish Terrier..."As a guard it is impossible to better him.
He
gives his warning, and if it passes unheeded, he shows very definitely that he
is there and in charge.
He is self-centered, deep-natured with a soul both for laughter and tragedy…
There is nothing
frothy or shallow in the nature of a Scottie.
He never forgets–his heart may
break with grief, but he will not yowl about it.
He is absolutely honorable, incapable of a mean or petty action, large hearted and
loving...
With the soul and mind of an honest
gentleman."
Dorothy Gabriel, The Scottish
Terrier, 1934

Your photos match each caption so perfectly! (no surprise there)
ReplyDelete;-)
I've often wondered, when you decided to get a Scottie, did you specifically want a wheaten? He just fits in so well with the Goldens...
Have a WONDERFUL, relaxing weekend!
That fits Todd perfectly.
ReplyDeleteBlessings,
Goose
Very nice Scotty thoughts. He sure is a charmer. Hope your weekend is delightful and that Sam gets to see his The Mom. It's a nice thing that you have done for them Kim. It's very cool you got to meet a bloggy friend. Hope we can share a few minutes (at least) someday. I've met two so far and may meet Christine (Sam and Monty) before I go back to Seattle.

ReplyDeleteVery well suited to the wonderful Todd! I hope your weekend is off to a good start :o)
ReplyDeleteThey are rare and wonderful dogs! My late Scotty Otis felt it was his job to take care of me. When we would walk, if I stopped to speak to someone, Otis would move himself between myself and my friend. I had always guessed it was in case of an attack, he would be handy to take care of it!
ReplyDeleteTodd is a beauty!
Jo, Stella and Zkhat

PS - Todd has such the perfect black Scottie nose- I love it!! (of course I love him too!)
Kim,
ReplyDeleteJust catching up, and what a adorable poem that suits Todd to the tee.
The pictures where so spot on with the words and that Todd is so cute that I'm sure I'm in love with him. But then again who wouldn't be.
Glad you had some quick action on the toad and Todd. That's one big toad.
Take care Kim and have a wonderful weekend.
