When we were on vacation in Estes Park, Wen walked Sunny and me around the grounds of our riverside hotel. On the day that we were packing up to leave, Wen was walking us by the hotel parking lot and we saw a lady walking to her car with an off-leash Westie trailing behind her. The lady spotted us Scotties and wouldn’t you know, she asked Wen if we were Westies, because we looked “a little different.” Of course, having been asked the same question about all of her wheaten Scotties over the years, Wen explained that we were Scotties and as per usual, the lady said “Scotties are black!”
That comment provoked Wen to go into her speech describing the coat colors of Scotties and then she pointed out the differences between Sunny and me and the lady’s Westie, until the lady agreed that there were definite differences. Nothing like a little parking lot dog breed education!
Do we look like Westies? No, we’re Scotties!!
