Looks like Snoopy, smells like strawberries.
Sometimes you don't realize how good you've got it in terms of pet obedience until an interloper comes to town. There was some kind of scuffle/disturbance in the neighborhood pet equilibrium near midnight last night, and when Amy and I went outside to check it out, what to our wondering eye should appear, but a Beagle puppy with tiny, trusting feelings. It was scared out of its wits, and starving to boot. So we fed it and watered it. At first we determined to leave it outside and look for its owners in the morning, but it chased cars. Our next plan was to put it in the garage until morning, but it started howling like a banshee when left alone. Somewhere between the garage and my bathtub "it" became "she." The puppy is clean now. There are fliers out all over our neighborhood. And she is under my desk this very minute, licking my toes.

No joke, I am going to steal her.

Amy says we'll meet you half way. She needs a good home. Looks like she doesn't have any owners. :(

Ooh - do you think she'd get along with cats? I want her! Did you give her a temporary name?

Yes, she would love your cats. Why, I'll bet she could be their personal trainer. You'd win that cat weight loss bet for sure! For the moment, I am calling her Scout.

What does Margaret think of your new puppy, Scout? We recently fed a poor kitty who came up one night. Patches now comes for breakfast and dinner every night!
