Springtime came early in our part of the US.
Scout has been enjoying sitting in her “spot” in our front yard.
Spending afternoons with her nose in the air… bliss.

52 Weeks for Dogs :: 15/52 Spring Bliss
52 Weeks for Dogs :: 13/52 I Believe She Can Fly
It’s still recovery time for Scout, but we’re happy to see her run a little bit in the yard. I can rarely catch her in focus when she’s on the move, but she came straight on and just a wee bit slower than usual.
I believe she can fly.
52 Weeks for Dogs :: 11/52 Ball Cigar
Whenever Scout holds her ball like a cigar, I’m reminded of Bugs Bunny, when he pretends to be a gangster opposite Elmer Fudd.
Bugs Bunny:
“I’m gonna rub ya out, Marooni, see? Yeah, rub ya… out, see? Yeah. See? Out. See? Out.”
I think Scout would like Bugs…
and maybe a cigar shaped ball?
52 Weeks for Dogs :: 10/52 RiverDog
This is where Scout is liveliest.
She’s an incredible swimmer, strong and sure.
She would probably swim for a ball or stick until she dropped.
(Now that she’s 10, we let her swim for 20 minutes.)
RiverDog.
52 Weeks for Dogs :: 9/52 Happy Leap Day!
I tried to get a photo of Scout in action, maybe even leaping, but this was our best shot. Her fur is particularly well lit :)
Hope your Leap Day was fly.
52 Weeks for Dogs :: 7/52 A Bit of a Smile
Nice to catch Scout in a bit of a smile.
Always a beautiful girl, no matter what expression she shows.
52 Weeks for Dogs :: 6/52 That Way
There’s my puppy.
Scout’s seriousness doesn’t let me see the puppy that she was ten years ago.
But there she is.
Tail pointing old age to her left?
It went that way.====>
52 Weeks for Dogs :: 5/52 Kong Flippin’
When Scout plays in our yard, she has a favorite “go-to” toy.
She holds the Kong rope in her mouth and whips it, flips it, roundhouses it around her head.
She creates her own little world of mayhem.
And loves every minute of her snorting, huffing, whirly-gig trip.
52 Weeks for Dogs :: 4/52 Head-on
It’s rare on a walk with Scout to snap a photo of her whole face. As you would think, it’s mostly nose to the ground, tail in the air and the quick “check-in” glance to make sure I’m still in radar distance. The opportunity for this photo of her full-on face materialized because she had to check out a dead bird downhill by the water. I caught her with the telephoto on her satisfied return. Head-on.
52 Weeks for Dogs :: 3/52 She’s Serious
Scout has always been a serious dog.
She can be goofy and playful, but her every day expression is Serious.
When I look at her face, I sometimes feel inadequate and silly in my human-ness.
Then she’ll pounce on a toy or eat snow and she is a fur-child again.
