What is your dog’s name?
Scout, named after the character in To Kill a Mockingbird. If she could wear overalls and climb trees, she would.
What breed of dog do you have?
She’s all Chessie.
How old is your dog?
She’s an old lady, almost nine.
Where did you get your dog (pound, rescue, breeder)?
Our friend got his Chessie, BeBe, from a breeder. Their agreement included BeBe having one litter of puppies. Scout was one of those – we picked her out of the litter.
What nicknames do you call your dog?
All the ones she listed and also Dee-Oh-Gee (say it fast.)
How does your dog make you laugh?
Chessies talk with a growly roo-roo-roo sound. I can make her talk for a long time and it always makes me laugh.
What is your favorite walk/hike to take?
We love taking trail hikes/runs on wooded trails near our house. Scout can run off-leash and so can we.
What is the best toy you’ve given your dog?
When she was a puppy and had to be crated, we would give her a small Kong filled with peanut butter. It would keep her busy for hours.
If your dog could speak only one sentence, what would he/she say?
Never leave me.
What is the most annoying behavior your dog exhibits?
She eats unsavory findings, then suffers for them later. The cure? Challah bread.
What do you love most about your dog?
She is incredibly sweet. It just radiates from her like warm sunshine.
