Scout - A Year Later - We Miss You!!

Today has been a year since we lost our dear Scout in such a tragic way. I still think about him everyday and although it is easier to think about him without crying, I will never get over how he was taken from us so soon. He was still the best dog ever and I love my Remi & Mady. I just wish the three of them could be together. I know Scout would love Mady and would probably be teaching her some interesting tricks right now. I miss how he used to pick up his bowl and carry it around when it was empty. I wish I had video of it. I miss how sweet he was and how much he loved to be with us. I even miss how he used to grab the dishtowel off the counter and then want me to chase him to get it back. I miss spelling words like PB (peanut butter) to try to trick him, but he still figured it out. I miss how he just loved to be petted and loved.

He was our gentle giant baby and is sorely missed. We love you Scout!!

Dog of the Day!

This has brought me to tears to see my beloved Scout honored as dog of the day. He definitely deserved it. If ever a sweeter dog existed, I can't imagine it. We miss him terribly. On Monday, June 16th he would have been two years old.

Daddy bought you a gardenia bush as a memorial (since we already have tons of trees in the yard). We plan to plant it tomorrow and scatter some of your ashes there. I can't bear to part with all of the ashes. They are sitting in the urn on the mantle, and I can't move them. I know some people might just put them in the closet, but my Scout deserves better.

Thanks to the all the Dogsters who gave stars and rosettes! We appreciate it! He was a special dog! But they are all special dogs, and I know that my Dogsters understand that. Bless all of you!

Tears and Love,
Scout's Mom

Scout's ashes

I just got a call that Scout's ashes are ready. I don't know if I'm ready to pick them up yet. I still can't believe that he's not here. When I look at the new puppy Mady, all I think is that Scout would love to play with her. He would probably let her snuggle and fall asleep next to him on the floor.

Oh Scout! I miss you so much!!

Love,
Mommy
