The theme for the Door County Scottie Rally for 2017 was a pirate one. Mom did not take enough pics to adequately show you our pirates costumes so we did a front porch photo op when we got back.
You’re smiling, right?
You can see my vest better in this one. Kelli Lauber of PrettiestPets on Etsy makes our vests/tutus for us.
No, Sister, a poop deck does not mean that. ~ Indy

The streets of Baileys Harbor are lined with people awaiting the Parade of Scots.
Clan Donald arrives to lead the parade.
Scots gather to begin the parade route into Baileys harbor, WI.
Here we are. Mom is riding the truck.
Round the corner and down the hill into town,
the pipers played on.
The residents and tourists in Baileys Harbor always give us a warm welcome.
and then it is back to rally headquarters for lunch, workshops, auctions, games and fun. ~ Indy and Lucy

The barn hunt is one of the most anticipated events by Scotties at the Door County Scottie Rally. Ainsley McKenna proved to be a natural at her first attempt.
The nervy rat taunted the Scots and
the hunt was on as Brother faced off the rat in the arena.
Our friend Dougall and his staff were also anxious to give it a try.
His hooman proved to be a natural too. BOL ~ Indy and Lucy

When the third weekend in May rolls around, it’s time for the Door County Scottie Rally in Baileys Harbor, Wisconsin.
This year we had a pirate theme.
Despite the threat of rain and cold temperatures, the rally remained undaunted.

The Terrier Tech tent housed some of the workshops you could participate in if you liked.
Although FB puts us in touch with many Scottie people, the rally presents opportunity to meet them in person, old and new. We are always glad to see our friends from Saint Louis Scottish Terrier Rescue. They work tirelessly year round for the good of Scotties.

Tracie Lange is my new BFF. She has been a friend of our FB page and looked us up while at the rally. She took good care of me while Mom and Dad watched Brother take part in the barn hunt and earth dog activities. (photo borrowed from Tracie Lange)
Although we have known Australian Beril Murray for several years, Mom got to meet Lynne Spencer of Rocky Creek Farms for the first time. Mom says a visit to Rocky Creek is on her bucket list. (photo by Jason Rhodes)
We love our Wisconsin friends, Kathy, Deb and Connie. It was Deb and Kathy’s first rally. They had a blast. You remember, we stopped to see them in Tomah before continuing to Door County.
Around Scottie headquarters, you could make a step stone,
visit the pet psychic,
get a massage like Ainsley here,
or rest for a bit in the Rainbow Bridge Memorial garden, one of Mom’s favorite places.
The rally is also a benefit for the heath and rescue of Scotties and monies raised through donations, auctions, and raffles go to this purpose.
In the silent auction, Mom won the pictures by Kate Wood and Elena Adam which were donated in the memory of Ruffles de Scottie.
Friday evening ended with Brother winning the Rum Runner race and reclaiming his title of “Fastest Scottie”. Too bad they don’t have a ‘fetch contest’; I would win it paws down. Woof! ~ Lucy
