Scottie Dog

I was browsing through old blog posts, looking for my blueberry bread recipe. I eventually found it, but not in the blog. I’ll post it here in a day or two. I discovered a seven-year-old entry where I talked about previous pets and mentioned that I’ve always wanted a Scottish terrier. Lassie came to live with us a little more than four years later. Lassie is about 30 – in dog years – and I can’t imagine life without her. She loves bits of carrot, sweet potato, chicken, rice, and eggs. She doesn’t care for apples or oranges. She chases birds like she thinks she has wings. No running hose or sprinkler head is safe from her. Lassie’s reactive with dogs she doesn’t know, but extremely gentle with children. She adores her groomer and loves car trips. She’s slow to settle down at night and even slower to drag herself out of bed in the morning. And she’s an excellent companion.
