Hello Scamp! My, not only are you handsome, and able to train your family quickly, but you are also a terrific writer! I enjoyed reading about you very much. Such a special boy, and you landed in just the perfect family for you: easy to train! Ha haa.

All except that c-a-t. Yes, I bet she loved you too, in her own cat way! I am saddened to read that she is gone. But now she is healthy and happy at Rainbow Bridge, and watching over you. Do you feel a swat every now and then in your dreams, Scamp? That is her! Did you run outdoors barking at a hissing sound, and not find anything but squirrels (they don't hiss, you know)? That was her, keeping tabs on her Scamp!

Have a wonderful day, handsome boy. Sending some belly rubs to you on this special day as you celebrate, because you are our Dog of the Day!
