Hi, I’m Scout! I live with my people and two cats (shh, don’t tell my dog friends, they’ll laugh at me) in Albuquerque, New Mexico. I like the cats okay, they look like they’d be fun to chase, but my people keep a gate up so I can’t get to them. I wouldn’t eat them, they’re part of my pack! But I wouldn’t mind chasing them around.
I like Albuquerque a lot, I like the sun and hiking and especially the prairie dogs, but I don’t really like hot weather so when we walk, I have to have water to drink. My people put it in my backpack. I like walking with my backpack, it makes me feel important.
I’m very lucky, one of my people works part-time so I get lots of walks. I get a walk in the morning before the people leave, a long walk in the afternoon, and then another walk at night when both my people are there. Sometimes we go out really early and stop and sit at the coffee shop for awhile. My people have coffee and breakfast and they won’t give me any, but they give me treats, and I get to see the dogs other people bring. And then we go on a long, long walk.
I have a big yard, but my people don’t let me go out in it much because I try to bite the dogs next door. Only because they start it! There are six of them, and they’re always in the yard—they never get to go on long walks like me. They bark and snarl and snap at me and my people over the wall.
