Fave outdoor toys?

Fave outdoor toys?

Dorothy loves her flirt pole (and this piece of dried grass, lol), but I'd love some other options. Any suggestions?

Dorothy’s ears are almost up

She’s just about 11 weeks old. Not gonna lie, if we could keep the one tipped, we would! But I know it’s gonna disappear soon. She is so cute we can’t stand it!

What tricks can I teach Dorothy?

Dorothy (almost ten weeks) is doing well with sit, down, stay, let's go (walk next to me in a heel position), kennel up. What fun things can I add to our repertoire?

She met her Scottie friend Watson this week!

Please welcome Dorothy!

Dorothy (aka Dottie the Scottie) joined our family on Sunday. She is a delight and we are loving seeing her personality emerge. Having only raised large dogs (labs, Goldens, GSD), it's fun to have a small pup, although I keep forgetting she's not a retriever, and she can't be bothered when I roll or toss a ball, lol.

She's been to the vet, is doing really well sleeping in her crate at night, and we're working on recall and sit at the moment. She doesn't seem particularly fond of her kibble (Purina pro plan puppy, which the breeder was using), so I've already started with a topper. I'm also open to changing her food up, if anyone has any U.S. suggestions.

Name for female Scottish terrier

Hi, we're going to be bringing home a wheaten (so cream/white) Scottish terrier pup in a few weeks. Since there's only one boy in the litter, chances are very high we'll end up with a girl. Would love to have the name be Scottish (either in origin or popularity or a place name/flower, etc). This is one challenge where the boys are much easier (for me at least)!

Currently our frontrunners:

-- Agnes (Aggie, Nessie). I like it because it's not popular for humans, and has a dignified, old lady feel that I think suits this breed.

-- Elsie. I like this, but feels too popular in general.

-- Maisie. A little more cutesy than I generally like.

I'd love some more suggestions! Thanks so much.
