Then in May, we'll head down to South Carolina where he'll learn to draw out his bark..."wooooof, y'all!" By the time he returns to your plummy vowels and the Aberdeen dogs, he'll have such a unique accent that will be all "Bertie!"<br /><br />Your pal, <br /><br />PeteyAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00529559263104583300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3806379150774713992.post-82516446637872078452010-04-02T12:01:40.513-07:002010-04-02T12:01:40.513-07:00Scotties bark in Doric!

It's not the outward signs that show a true teuchter but those inner reserves of loyalty,courage,humour and devotion.That's why Scots always make the best soldiers.

That's what happens to most immigrants. Acculturation. <br /><br />So, we think that wee Bertie will be a Scots dog and occasionally look fondly into his English history -- but never give it a mind.

One good and very important thing, the communication between dog and human translates the same, not matter what the language. Kind of like a smile is culture and language barrier free. Our suggestion: invest in a variety of collars and leashes, and enjoy an international flair. He is going to be so much fun!!<br /><br />So excited for you...<br />Jake and Fergi xxooTwoSpecialWireshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12821811843038285541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3806379150774713992.post-81385364062225197092010-03-30T06:30:46.756-07:002010-03-30T06:30:46.756-07:00I'm guessing Bertie will learn to be happy as ...I'm guessing Bertie will learn to be happy as a transplant, just as you did!
