Welcome, Scout!

last modified: last year

We fostered a dog from a local shelter for a few weeks to make sure he would get along well with Charlie, the last of the three beloved dogs we had for many years. This three-year-old ”Shorkie’“(supposedly a Shih tzu/ Yorkie cross) came to us as Diesel and we immediately changed his name to Scout. He looks like Charlie’s little brother (although Charlie is purportedly a Maltese / terrier cross) and they both came from the same rescue— as did Mr. Fluffy who died three years ago.

We signed the final adoption papers yeaterday!

Charlie on the left and Scout on the right. Charlie has a snaggletooth that you can’t see in the photo and Scout has a very cute underbite 🥰

This photo makes my heart happy KSWL.

Having lost our two girls just over a year ago we opened our hearts again to a rescue. I need to update my profile pic soon.

Charlie & Scout are lucky dogs .

Happy happy day! Everyone should have two (or more) dogs-more fun for them and double the love and fun for us! Congratulations.

Great photo, btw.

Such sweet faces! We are going to need a lot more pictures.

I laughed at the argyle socks. Today my DH has on black work shoes, white over the ankle socks, gym shorts, a cowboy hat and clip on sunglasses. I just walk a little apart.🙄

You are so brave to try fostering. I'd be a foster fail, I attach much too quickly. Your intuition must be very good to have picked such a good partner for your resident little guy. Things must feel much more normal to him now with another pup in the house. They are adorable, congratulations.

KSWL…how on earth were you able to find such a cutiepie from a shelter?! Few to be found here, but tons ot pit mixes. Lucky duck! A dog was our ”first child”, but we ever had just one until 10 yers ago. Thought the new girl might rejuvenate our old, partially blind, deaf one. Could return to foster if it didn;t go that way. But …oh! How it did. And we quickly learned the entetainment value to us , and the fun for the once solo dog. She then passed and after waiting for the right one, we are a family four again.

Mtn, , we’ve always had 30-40 pound dogs, so i get it. Then, my kids got a mini goldendoodle. Big dog in a smaller size. We adore her. They carry her about to second home, airbnbs, hotels, hockey games, our house, planes, trains etc.

We ALL adore dogs.

P.S. Before anyone makes an arguement re Pit Bulls, let me say I have walked and cared for quite a few during my years as a shelter volunteer. Most…in that situation…were sweeties. Still, too many with sad, bad backgrounds to warrent my willingness to bring one home.

The pictures of dogs and cats on this thread keeps me opening it to look at them 🦮🐈‍⬛ They are all just wonderful!

Allison, how funny! Your black cat (Scout or Charlie?) looks mischievous and the other one looks dubious 😁

Charlie is the black cat. Three brothers: Charlie, Frankie and Riley. But Riley hasn't been around in a year. Charlie had a virus and now has a cute head tilt sometimes. All three of the black cats have a partially cloudy right eye due to mom having a virus at their birth. They all have the tinest meows, and Scout just double dog dares me to try to pet her! But after 2yrs of feeding her, I can now pet her back as she eats. I think her mask makes her have a variety of looks! She is the biggest hunter of the colony.
