Despite 'issues,' life is good

Hi, my name is Scotti. I got to come and live with my housemate, Pippin, because I look so much like her.

At Heartland Animal Rescue Team they called me "Spinner" because I would spin when I got excited. I still do, especially at breakfast time when we get special treats.

I had a few issues when I came here - I wasn't housebroken, didn't know what treats were and didn't know how to climb steps - but I learned fast.

Scotti (left) and Pippin share a striking resemblance to one another.

I still have a drinking problem. I slobber, especially when I come in from running around outside and I'm really thirsty. My owner keeps a mop handy.

Life is good.
