My profile pic is my Scottish Terrier called Fidget. Everyone says how much her name suits her (especially when she was a rather boisterous puppy). But the name actually comes from a Scottish country dance called Fidget. I have even (way back in the day) danced it. Most folk don't know that Scotties come in this wheaten colour, so she's constantly being called a Westie! My other Scottie, the more usual dark brindle one, is called Kenzie. I'm told it means "white", so my ironic side rather liked a black dog being given a name that means white. However, she does have a large white blaze down her front, which means she would be laughed out of the show ring, as white is a fault, but it means I can see her in the garden at night...
