We
adopted Scout (originally named Squirt) on our first visit to the SPCA
in late June. He has grown to be less shy and nervous, and has
put on three pounds, standing at a healthy 16.5 lbs currently.
His hair has also turned a lighter shade especially around his paws
and back. We are not sure why but the groomer says it's pretty
common. Scout has just turned two in January if the guestimate
is correct to begin with.
Scout has just completed his Level 1 in obedience school and he enjoys
the extra attention when we practice our training homework with him.
We are looking forward to Level 2 in a month's time.
Scout loves his daily walks especially when there is fresh deep snow.
He needs to walk on leash as he is easily distracted by sounds and
small animals, particularly squirrels. We are hoping Level 2
will help him to be
more focused.
We are
so glad to have Scout - what a wonderful addition he is to our family!
There is always so much to learn to be the dog's best friend and
leader.
