Tristan Pix |
 As
a puppy, shoot, even as an adult dog, Tristan wants all dog toys for
herself. |
 Like
all Scottie puppies, Tristan's head accounted for about 73.4 percent of
her body. |
 I'm not sure of Tris' age here. Since the grass has that "gone-dormant" look it gets in the dry months of July or August, she might be six or seven months old. I have a hunch that we haven't yet had her clipped as of the time of this picture. She had a very thick coat that was both wavy and shiny. A very good-looking dog. You can also see an intimation at the size of her tongue; it's long and snaky. |
 She
isn't posing because shes such a good do, uh-uh, Mary Ann's standing just
out of the show holding a piece of dog food. |
|
She "talks" to use when she's unhappy, such as when she's gotten a toy under a piece of furniture. It's not barking, more like a modulated cross between a growl and a howl. |

This
is a freshly-groomed Tristan. As is apparent, she's older than the photo
above, although she doesn't act like it. She's retained a lot more of her
puppy behavior than all of our other dogs. Freshly fallen snow is an
excuse for her to run laps around the yard. Also an excuse for her to lap
it up as if it were ice cream.
A
formal "portrait" of Tristan and Picard. You can see the size difference
between them. Tris is about the smallest Scottie, we've had, but has the
biggest ego. She weighs in at about 18 or 19 pounds to Picard's 55 pounds,
but she give Pi a run for her money.
