Come Here Dog--Come Scooby

Come Here Dog--Come Scooby

My dog, Scooby, and I go for a walk almost
every morning and every night. We walk
around the neighborhood. I enjoy seeing
the sites and he enjoys sniffing to find
out what passed that way before him.

Scooby is a Walker Hound. He was trained
to hunt mountain lions. He didn't do it
very well, so my friend gave him to me
rather than put him down. I have enjoyed
Scooby. He has kind eyes. He doesn't
bark much--my husband appreciates that,
and he seems genuinely happy with life.
He is afraid of gun shots and loud noises.
I suppose he had enough of them when he
was out on patrol.

Scooby is not a real affectionate dog.
But, he is appreciative. I enjoy him.

When I want him to do something, I must
make sure I have his attention. I think
he must have ADD. He can just tune me
out. However, when I have his attention,
he gladly cooperates with me.

attention, check out Sit, Stay, Fetch.
I bet you will be happy that you did.
