Scout is my dog. She had her birthday the other day. She is 2 years old. Scout is a Sheltie and she is very fluffy. She loves barf. And she loves running with other dogs at the dog park. But she doesn’t like having a bath. And she likes having a walk on the street.
Once Scout escaped from the backyard on to the street. We were terrified that she was going to get run over by a car. We had to get her back, quickly. We got some treats and called her name but she didn’t come back. The whole family chased her but she ran further away. Now we were feeling desperate. What if she got hurt and I never got to play with her again? We needed to get in the car to chase her. But she didn’t come back. Oh my god! She ran into someone’s house and they went crazy and they screamed crazily. They chucked knives at Scout! We ran in and grabbed her, then sprinted away from the crazy people. When we got her back home we played with her a lot outside, we would never let her escape again.
Every day is fun with Scout. We all love her very much. She is a part of our family.
