Scooter

Greetings from Minneapolis -

Scooter it was when adopted & Scooter it will remain. It really fits. He's so quick, alert, active and very mischievous. He & Jake-D cat are getting along much better. Starting to play & believe it or not caught them sleeping side by side the other day. Took Scooter to our vet last week (Dr. Katrina Schimmel at Pomeroy's Small Animal Hospital in St. Paul). Staff & doctors fell instantly in love with him. Asked Dr. Katrina if she were to venture a guess what did she think he was mixed with. She immediately said Black Lab & Border Collie which is what I had guessed. She also feels he won't get much bigger. She said our first visit was complimentary because of your great facility & the wonderful things you do. This past Monday, Scooter got to go to PetSmart for the "royal" treatment. Bath, teeth brushing, nails clipped, etc. The staff was great with him & naturally fell in love with him. Who couldn't!! He just wiggles his way into your heart. So far we've got him sitting, staying (pretty well), retrieving & giving kisses. We're working now on heeling. He also thinks he's a lap dog.

Scooter is just a joy.

Scooter

Good morning,

See you called yesterday. I work nights so was sleeping. Tom (Fossum) was outside playing w/Scooter. Scooter had a big week.. From your facility, we went to our place in Birchwood. Scooter got to run in the woods, play in leaf piles, go for walks, see deer, and, lastly, go for a pontoon ride. Then back to Mpls to his new home. Adjusting nicely. Already sits (he's so smart). His meeting with Jake-D cat didn't go so well. Jake smacked him on the nose to let him know who's boss. Couldn't get him to eat much. I had already purchased IAM's puppy chow. A light went off. Purchased Pedigree puppy chow. Gobbled it right down. Will try mixing the two & see what happens. Next Thursday we're going to the Vet for a checkup. Will keep you posted.

Thank you so very much for letting us adopt Scooter. He has a way of wiggling right into your heart. So eager to please. Sorry we couldn't take Lucky . Unfortunately, we just don't have the room for two babies.

Thanks again,
Linda Fossum
