When Scottie was 14 she started collecting Scottish Terrier knickknacks for some unknown reason. She never had any personal exposure to a real Scottish Terrier however Scottie recalls, “I just thought they were wonderful. Somehow, my friends started calling me “Scottie” and I liked that much more than my given name, Sharon.”

In her 20’s she began sharing life with a few Scotties: Dunnigan a black male followed by a black female named Shanan (short for Shananigan). Scottie describes Shanan as “this charming vixen I write about in one of the last issues of Great Scots Magazine.”

Many months after losing Shanan, Scottie recalls “my heart was captured when Holly, a wheaten Scottie and the gentlest soul I’ve ever known, came into my life 14 years ago”. Scottie shares her home with her Husband, Dan and of course Holly. Her love of Holly brought her to visit Scotland Yard Bed & Breakfast in preparation for their 1st exposure to the Scottie Rally! Since that time Scottie has become  increasingly available to  volunteer and, now “consider myself a proud, two-legged member of the Door County Scottie Rally pack!”
