Hi I'm Scout.  My parents fostered my mom when she was pregnant with me, after me and my seven brothers and sisters were born they couldn't not keep one of us, and lucky me I was the one they kept.

 

I'm telling you, they made our first 10 weeks a blast..we had so many toys and things to stimulate us, and we were trained to sleep in a crate all together. Which I must say was a little ruff sleeping alone when everyone else left the house. But I got used to it..because I had a teddy bear they gave me to sleep with, which made me feel not so alone, and Tucker my adoptive father figure slept right next to my kennel to make sure I didn't need anything. He was the best, he taught me how to eat, play, and sleep on big pillows made for us. He would let me sleep right next to him however, because he was so nice. The other two dogs in the family were nice, but didn't like to share anything. Tucker shared everything with me. Sadly Tucker had to go to the doggy park in the sky which was very sad for me, but then I got to know Molly better, who I misunderstood for a long time. She looked like my real mom, but wasn't real interactive, now she plays with me all the time. I love her. She helped me take all the nasty fuzz and foam out of our human parents couch. It was too fun, you should have seen the downstairs we covered it with fuzz and foam, it was the best time ever.

 

I have had some training, it is a lot of work..I'm not so sure I like discipline, but I love the praise I get from doing things the right way. Plus if I'm good I get to go visit grandma in the nursing home and all her friends, I have been visiting them since I was 8 weeks old and they love me there. I'm told when I pass the test in three weeks I'll be able to visit other grandma's in other nursing homes, and I can't wait..they are entertained easy and seem to really love my dog tricks. What can I say, I'm cute.

 

I'm loving traveling. I have been to Hilton Head Island 2 times, and I must say it is a blast. I went boating and saw the dolphins, and met several other dogs. I have also been to Hocking Hills camping. It is a great place for dogs, all the trails except Conkle's Hollow are dog friendly. I'm telling you, you meet so many friendly dogs there. I even met a baby deer but her momma yelled at her to come home too quick for us to be able to play. Next time, I hope I get the chance. Traveling is soooo much fun.  

 

I'm having a great life, and I have Pets Without Parents to thank for guiding me to my forever human parents. My one year birthday is coming up August 8th. My human mom is having a birthday party for me..I can't wait..I hope my brothers and sisters can come and even my dog mom. But I know my best friend Libby will be there. I met her in puppy class at Petsmart..she is a Bull Mastiff..when we met I was bigger then her..but that only lasted about a week or two..now she weighs 104 pounds and I'm a whopping 38. But I have found that size doesn't matter, she loves me just the way I am.

 

Scout out for now, I hope all you other four legged creatures are having as much fun as I am. I would love to meet any dogs, stop by the Alum Creek Dog Park on the weekends and say Hi. It is a blast. See you there.   PS I go early..like 8:30-9:00am.
