Happy Dog of the Day, Scout!!!

Oh, what a beautiful baby boy you are, Scout, and what an equally beautiful tribute your mommy has shared with us! I was so touched by that first quote she shared! I had never heard it before. How true, how true!

No doubt, it was written in the stars that you and your family would be as one, Scout. I had a similar experience, after the passing of my beloved Lab, Jingles. Like your mom, I was too overwhelmed with my loss to consider adding another pup to the pack. Then, one day, while standing in line at the grocery store, I overheard the woman in front of me tell the cashier about her newly born liter of Labs; turns out she was a breeder! She went on to say how she and her husband were about to leave for a Labor Day bbq, due there at 5pm and running late, when suddenly her girl when into labor. The first pup was born Sept. 5th, 5pm. That was the exact date and time my Jingles went to the Rainbow Bridge, and I just knew, right then and there, that I was destined to be mom to one of those babies, just as you were destined to be with your mom!

It was a confirmation, and connection that I couldn't have ever imagined


What a blessing you are, Scout, a source of never ending joy, love and laughter for your family; a comforter, a heart healer! As your mom says, no longer is she sadly counting the weeks since her beloved baby's passing, but happily counting the weeks and months of happiness she's experience since welcoming you home!

It's amazing how they do expand our hearts, and in the process help us heal.


You truly were heaven sent, Scout, and I hope for you and your family many, many, many years of shared love and devoted companionship! Enjoy your much deserved day of honor, sweetheart, and every minute of your wonderful life! Lots of love, hugs and kisses to you, beautiful Scout!
