The Happy Scottie

When I adopted her, I thought I was bringing home a loyal, disciplined little scottish terrier.

What I actually got?

A clingy, Oscar-worthy drama queen wrapped in fur — convinced she’s starring in an emotional one-woman show… and I’m just the exhausted audience trapped in the front row.

Bathroom trips?

She follows me in like we’re war-crossed lovers parting at the train station. Full eye contact. Soul-piercing. It’s giving French film finale, 1957.

In the kitchen?

She’s two inches from my heels, judging my every spice like a four-legged Gordon Ramsay mid-breakdown.

Taking out the trash?

She stands in the doorway, glassy-eyed, whispering with every glance:

“Promise me you’ll come back…”

And she doesn’t sit.

She performs.

One leg crossed, chin tilted, full 1950s Chanel glamour — like she’s being photographed by Annie Leibovitz for Vogue: Canine Edition.

Ignore her for 5 seconds?

She lets out a sigh so dramatic, I check the ceiling for boom mics.

Skipped dinner once because her food bowl wasn’t aligned with… I don’t know… her aura.

And the zoomies?

Oh, the zoomies.

One minor inconvenience — a breeze, a leaf, an intrusive thought — and she’s blasting through the house like she’s being chased by regrets and unpaid taxes.

So far, she has:

Licked every window like she’s blessing the house

Cracked the code on how to open the fridge

Stolen a banana, peeled it herself, and left the peel on my pillow like a warning from the Fruit Mafia

I bought every “indestructible” toy money could buy.

She didn’t chew them — she excavated them.

Like she’s searching for the ancient secrets buried deep within the soul of every plushie.

Then I heard whispers…

Rumors…

Legends…

Of a mythical,

Sleep-deprived and desperate, I caved.

Now?

She carries it like a war buddy.

Tosses it. Wrestles it.

Sometimes just gently rests her chin on it like they’ve both seen things they can never unsee.

It’s still intact.

Which is more than I can say for:

My sneakers

My TV remote

And the last shreds of my mental health.

6 year old Scottish Terrier dog needs rehoming.

She’s a great, loyal and loving dog. She’s house trained and lived in our home; The last 6 months she has stayed outside and does not dig under fences to break out. She loves to walk and take lots of naps. She does desire affection from her owners. She has spent many weekends by my side on hunting trips and is trained for deer blood tracking. She would be perfect for a child free family.
