Well by now, I suppose you have figured out that I have a soft spot in my heart for my beloved Scotty, Mr. Doogiedog, as well as Scotty Dog collectibles. I recently took down all of my cottage pictures and added some of my vintage Scotty Dog pictures to a wall in our family room (next...a new paint color --- oh honey!!). Now Lisa will notice that bottom right "Listen" picture that she gave to me. It is by the artist Morgan Dennis. Thank you again, Lisa, I just adore this picture! I found the perfect frame for it, too!
There are several artists who did wonderful illustrations of not only Scotties, but other dogs as well. Morgan Dennis (he also did the Black and White Scotch Whiskey illustrations), Marguerite Kirmse, Grace Drayton and Lucy Dawson..just to name a few. You can find these prints on eBay or in antique stores. If lucky enough, you will find one at a flea market. My friend Wave came across an etching at a flea market that was by Marguerite Kirmse. It was only 35.00 - and is valued at over 800.00! Needless to say, her heart nearly lept out of her chest when she found that precious jewel!!
In the meantime, happy trails to you and may they be fun, safe and enjoyable. Till next time...ta ta!Addendum....check out this quilt giveaway here....so cute!!

I love your Scotty collection on the wall, now what color are you going to paint?
I LOVE THIS! it is just adorable! I bought a Lucy Dawson print off ebay of two jack russell terriers for my sister for her birthday...she went crazy over it!
I just LOVE your Scotty. I live in Ontario, Canada and have been looking into the breed. Do you have any questions that I should be asking the breeders? Is this your first Scotty?
Thank you for your time.

You live in a Scotty Wonderland! :-) Rosie
What a fun, fun collection! Your pictures look great on the wall!
Great Scott!!!!!!!!! You are a scotty lover............ I so understand because I have Moses and he is a Love bird and he weight about 7 gms...... but he owns my heart.!!!!!!!!
Oh my gosh Holy Moses!!!!! I too am a pet lover!!!!!
It's really difficult to tell which pictures you have that I don't have...hmmmmmm, you better take inventory after Sunday. You just might have some blank spaces on the wall. I'll blame LittleMissMaggieSoSweetSheWouldn'toSuchAThing! LOL
Becky,
I love your Scotty pictures, what a great display. I love the picture of the two Scotties carrying the cane and I especially like the handsome fella in the picture, top row second from the right. Have a great weekend. Hugs, Linda
Hi dear Becky
Evertyime I see a Scotty dog I think of you now.. you will always be the dotty Scotty lady to me..
In the nicest possible way of course!!!!
Have you heard of the artist Cecil Aldin.. a British artist from early 1900's..?
He was popular for his dog sketches and prints.. I will look out for some for you..

I love your Scottie prints all grouped together. Very nicely done. That is the one area I haven't started collecting yet, but trust me they are on the list. Looking forward to seeing what color paint you choose.

Hi, I really like the way you've grouped all your Scottie pictures together...they have so much impact like that. I've grouped some old black and white family pictures along the wall of our landing in a similar vein.
Margaret and Noreen
What a great collection you've got going there. Love how you have the pics displayed.
Hugs - Karen
I love the gnome. I have a gnome collection. Your Scotty friends look really good together. Great job of displaying them.
So many lovely reminders of all the Doogiedogs from the past! x
FAB collection. You have some really wonderful pieces. I feel the same about Westies but you don't see many westie things out there...
I love your collection of Scotties! They all look great in your grouping. I like all the clocks too...my hubby would like those. He has a thing for clocks.
Hi Becky,
I saw a pair of pink scotty jammie pants and thought of you the other day :) I am loving your old clocks too! Hope you are having a sweet day!
Hugs,
Dena
Love all of your scotties, especially Mr. Doogs himself. Everytime I see something Scotty anywhere (and I seem to see them a lot now) I think of you and your love for these sweeties!!
Have a beautiful weekend!!
Hugs and Blessings,
Rebecca

Cute, cute, cute! I LOVE your scottie pics and your clocks also.
What did you decide to do with the "Commit thy Way" wall hanging?
I'm curious. Did I miss your decision?

Becky, Oh how adorable these pictures are... As always your cottage is just wonderful!
Your blog makes me smile..
Hope all is well with you.
Hugs & love ~Mary~:-}
OH this reminded me so much of my Dad - who drank Scotch - and used to tell me made-up stories of Blackie and Whitie, the 2 scottie dogs and their adventures. I was probably 21 when I realized that he got these dog ideas off the Scotch bottle!!!
Becky, you know I'm drooling over your scottie picture collection. I have a couple myself - think I'll post one on my blog so you can see it. The breeder that we bought Gus from has a very talented husband and they gave us one of his prints a couple of Christmases ago. I kind of cherish it...it's of Gus' niece, Ruby.
Take care,
pam
