Scooter..AZ

Scooter is fitting in just fine. He has taken to us as if we were his first and only parents. Bozie, his older brother, a dachsund/cocker spaniel mix, and scooter had a few rough days the first week, but all is fine between them now. . We went to Pismo Beach the middle of August. Kay and I go there frequently since the RV park is right on the beach and its a dog friendly beach. We love to walk the beach and walk two to three miles daily when their. It was the first road trip we made with Scooter. We started getting him used to riding in the truck with us a right after we got him since we like to travel with the fifth wheel in tow. At first he was terrified in the truck. He cried almost constantly. I'm guessing that had to do with associating vehicle travel with going to a new location. After a few weeks of short trips and always coming home he calmed down and after the vacation trip he's totally at home in the truck and the fifth wheel. He likes the truck so much now that when I come home from shift in the morning he jumps in the truck. Traditionally when I come home from shift Kay would open the door and Bozie would run out to greet me. Now Scooter and Bozie both run out for some affection, but Scooter always jumps into the cab of the truck prior to us going in. Many of the pictures I'm sending are of us on vacation in Pismo. Others are just some shot in the house and around the pool in the evening. You'll notice one common denominator in many of the pictures, the yellow football. Scooter loves that toy. Its a tennis ball shaped like a football. He'll play fetch with that ball for hours. Often times in the day we have to stop the game and take him inside for some water and to cool down, since we still have been getting alot of 110 degree days. Scooter eventually tears the fuzz off the ball and puts a hole in it so we've stocked up. The store had a dozen of these in the bin, now all of them are at home for future use.
