Hi My name is Scottward Phillip McScotch, but I'd like it if I am called Scotty. I have been called Scotty from day one. I just think it's a friendly short name. I am a very friendly Westie (that's short for West Highland White Terrier); I am the only Westie I know who's keeping a journal. I started writing in my journal ever since I was just a little runt puppy born at the "Westie Treasure Barn." I like to write about all of the exciting and interesting things that happen to me and my friends. I've come a long way in my short life. I've gone from being a skinny and lonely runt; a little puppy no one really wanted, to a published author with lots of friends and a wonderful family. I am not that little any more either; I am a very handsome 5 year old West Highland Terrier. I have a nice coat of white fur by now, it may not be as thick and luscious as my stepbrother Duffy's coat, but I am proud of the way my fur finally grew in. When I was born I was almost bald. I live with the people that adopted me five years ago. The Momma and the Papa Man are the sweetest people in the world. I love them so much. They believed in me and they took me in when no one else would. I live with three other dogs Margo, Duffy, and my best friend Schatzi. We live in the country and our life is never dull. In this book I'll share some of our adventures with you. Thank you for reading my books. Yours Truly, Scotty
