Today my person put some goopy stuff on her finger and let me lick it off. I liked that–it tasted like peanut butter. Then she put a weird plastic thing on her finger and put more goop on that and let me lick it off too, and that was pretty cool even though she didn’t let me chew on the plastic like I wanted to.
But then she held onto my head and stuck the plastic thing in my mouth and rubbed my teeth with it! What the heck was that? I didn’t mind her sticking it in my mouth so much, I guess, but I hated having her hold my head!
Oh, and, and, and I forgot!! Some days when my people don’t have to go away all day, they take me on a really long walk, but first we just start on our normal walk and they stop at this place and get food and drinks and they sit on the patio and eat and drink before we go on our long walk. (They never give me any, no matter how nicely I ask!) And we did that today, and guess who was at the food place? Dr. Long-Hair! I love Dr. Long-Hair! She’s one of my most favoritest people in the whole world! And she even let me put my paw on her knee, but then when I tried to jump on her, my people made me get down. They say I know better and she said I know I can get away with it because we were at Starbuck’s. Which is true. Home rules don’t have to be followed if I’m not at home, right?

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.
