Scout

Hi Louise,
I wanted to share that our sweet Scout turned 10 years old earlier this month and is doing so well. She's cuddly, gentle, and has an impressive energy level. People still mistake her for a puppy! 

Scout was born "Purple Girl" to Paisley and Jack on March 12, 2012. Since then, she's moved with Claire and me from Windsor to Toronto, completed multiple advanced training courses, and become a certified therapy dog. Until the pandemic, I was taking her to a healthcare centre near us every Sunday to visit patients. I don't know who loved it more, the people or Scout. We're hoping to resume that soon, as restrictions allow. 

As well in that time, Claire and I welcomed our two sons, in 2019 and 2021. We were so impressed with how well Scout adapted to the babies. She takes her "big sister" role very seriously, and is the first one to jump up and run when she hears one of them is waking up from a nap. She particularly likes all the food they throw on the floor! 

We knew we all had to mark Scout's big birthday, so in addition to the gift/treats for Scout, we bought a delicious cake (purple - in a nod to her original name). 

Thanks for 10 wonderful years!

Sonya & Claire
