This is Gus. My sadly departed older brother. And this is him at his best – Begging – we always encouraged him to perform this trick, because whatever he got, we got as well. I think that was real clever of me and Fin. It meant we never had to perform ‘tricks’ (so demeaning for us scotties) – but Gus didn’t mind – he was only interested in food and he’d do whatever it took to snaffle a smackerel of something or another. God bless him – I now rely on looking very sorry for myself when Mama gives Fabi her many puppy meals throughout the day – it works! I get an extra biscuit or two!

Love that Gus! I had one that looked like that too… big and brawny, but it was a wheaten Scottie. He used to sit up in front of the dog toys at the pet food store and beg for a toy. People went by and used to say ‘Awwwh get a l little toy of the poor doggie —‘ but my living room was full of them already …I love that Gus!

I do that one too, But I call it “up” not beg, sounds more dignified!

Mom would LOVE it if either one of us could do the “Scottie sit”…at best we give her the “Scottie-roll-over-and-scratch-my-tummy” *BOL*

That Gus, he was an awesome Scottie with talent, he knew how to get stuff, but a pair of them sad looking Scottie eyes works well, we kinda lower our heads and look sidways
