Practicing Some New Tricks
Just a quick update on how Scout's training is coming along. You'll see a couple old and a couple new tricks in this video. A lot of our recent work has been on loose leash walking- we're off the Peanut Butter! But we still have a long ways to go. I'll admit sometimes I get frustrated, but then all I have to do is remember he is 4 Months old!

A Romp with Scout
Scout has been getting better about being off-leash. Well, in all honesty, I'm just being less of Nervous Nelly. I don't think Scout knows the difference.
Sorry for the shoddy camera work. Hopefully you can make out all of his cuteness! We're going to make a trail dog out of him yet! :)

The Muddiest Dog in the Pacific Northwest
I LOVE the trails Seattle and surrounding areas provide me and the little dog. I do not, however, love the mud it provides. It would be one thing if just his paws were muddy. But he is a little mudball when he gets home!
Exhibit A:
The picture hardly does the mud justice, especially on Scout. Not to mention the peanut butter stains on my pants!
To top it all off I bought a white area rug for our living room. Because, you know, I'moptimistic stupid. But the light in our apartment is awful, so it's kinda hard to see all the stains, so there's a win.

The Cone of Shame!
That's right! Our little dog underwent some surgery recently. Why?
One night when Martin & Scout were playing tug when Scout's canine teeth broke. I'm sure it sounds extreme, but it's actually pretty common. His teeth needed to be extracted to prevent infection. Our vet decided while we had him under the knife to get everything done in one foul swoop. He had his upper canine teeth extracted, neutered, and microchipped. That's a lot for one little dog!
He's recovering great though! Post-op they tell you things like, "oh, he might be lethargic, that's normal." Ha. Ha ha. They clearly don't know my dog. He was back to causing trouble in no time! When I went to go pick him up I was getting discharge instructions from the vet. Scout heard my voice from his holding area and started whining at the top of his lungs. The vet gave up and brought Scout in to finish the discharge! Aaaawww, I think he likes me!
He has 2 weeks in the cone of shame - wish us luck!
