Silliest

Name: Spirit
Breed: Scottish Terrier
Fun Fact: “Spirit is a well suited name for this Scottish Terrier who does not act anything like her 11 years! We live in Canada and the first snow fall is always an adventure which includes washing her back and face in it –  he gets rather vocal about it barking and growling and snorting. People driving by always stop and watch and most often say “that’s funny, thanks for making my day”.”
