Scout Nelson!

this is our little boy scout. we got him right after christmas. nate "gave" him to me for a christmas present. i only say "gave" because he really only gave me puppy food. we couldnt get scout until we got back to utah several days after christmas. we found scout on KSL at an animal shelter in down in payson. he had broken one of his back legs and his previous owners couldnt afford to fix him. so, they gave him up to this animal shelter. boy, are we sure lucky to have this little guy in our life. at first, he was difficult. especially to potty train. we would put him outside to go number 2 and he would hold it, come back inside, and go sneak away to poop. crate training was also hard. several nights of him just whining to have someone, anyone, let him out. the thing that changed it all was this toy we bought for him at petsmart. its called a Kong. i highly recommend them for anyone who has a dog. chewer or not. they are incredible. you put treats or peanut butter in them and your dog will chew it for hours. this great toy has made our life so much easier.
scout has since mellowed out a bit. he loves to go in the car. he will run out to the car and just sit and wait. he just simply loves being in the car. as you can tell by this picture of him. we took him snow shoeing a few weekends ago. he was so full of energy when we first went. after at least 3 hours of hiking, he was finally tired. he layed across the entire back seat and slept all the way home. we also took him to mystic hot springs with us this weekend. he meet several other dogs there and was just so happy. all the way home, he slept. we sure do love wearing that pup out. we sleep better. and so does he.
his best friend in the whole wide world though is charley valentine. at first little charley was too playful for scout, now they are inseparable.
we love scout. he is the best dog in the world(no offense). he fits well in our life and we look forward to many years of adventure and laughter with this little(for now) pup.
