Maine Millers

This was fun 😛 The kids and I took Scout for his first walk tonight. I think we walked a total of 15 minutes and 4 houses down the street. He did pretty good on the way down but on the way back home he would run the ten feet on the leash and then collapse on the ground. We would call him and he would run down the length of the leash to me and collapse again. About two houses from home I had to just carry him the rest of the way, no way was he going to do it on his own, he was a pooped pup!

Holy cow! He is starting to show his true colors today! Nothing like an 8 pound wild dog to keep you on your toes. He has been non stop except for a post lunch nap until just now at 4:30. He has crashed hard under the table after playing with a tennis ball with Zach. Hopefully today will tucker him out so he sleeps all night tonight.

Up around 3am to put Scout out and he settled right back down. Michele got up at 5:30 for work and put him out, feed him and play for a few minutes and he wouldn't settle down. He was so full of energy at 6:30 he didn't settle down until almost 7:00.  This was him this morning.

A short video of Scout having fun.

Someone is getting very tired. It's been a busy day that will just get busier. We go to the vet this afternoon for the first visit…Shots??? Thermometers??? What will get stuck in Scout today?

He was pretty funny this morning playing with Taz. He wanted her tags on her collar and kept jumping up and grabbing them, sometimes with some fur. She did pretty well considering she was not consulted at all on this new addition. Taz did get to go to the pet store today to get more food for Scout, and maybe she will eat it as well.

After a few long days of the kids looking at the calendar and asking when Wednesday was going to be here, it's here!

I stopped on the way home tonight to pick up Scout from Sea Level Aussies in Yarmouth, ME and away we went. The ride was reminiscent of Taz's first car ride, almost home and carsick, yuck.

Zach and Emma were pretty excited when I got home with him and Taz did pretty good also. Zach has a pretty good friend, Scout just likes to curl up in his lap. More tomorrow after our first night of sleep.
