You’ll never guess what happened at our house this week…. Scout got “fixed”…. at least that’s what Mom said. I’m not even sure I know what that means. (Mom says I had it done too when I stayed at Dr G’s office last year; all I remember is my friend Jordan coming to see me.)

All I know is that Mom left early the other morning and took Scout with her. Dad was working at home so I stayed here to help him.  I stood lookout from the bedroom to make sure nobody bothered anything outside while Dad worked at his desk.

So, anyway…. Mom and Scout left early. I don’t know where they went but it must have been a long way off – they stayed gone all day! Then when they got home, Dad and I came outside. Scout was laying on one of our blankets in the grass. I don’t think she was asleep, but she was being real quiet. Mom sat down beside her and rubbed her. Mom told Dad that the ‘stezia’ hadn’t worn off, so she thought getting some fresh air might help her wake up.

Scout slept the rest of the day- she was no fun at all! She even slept on the floor that night- at least until she decided to climb up into bed and lay down by Dad’s legs.

The next day whatever they had to ‘fix’ but have been working because Scout and I got to play all day long. She ran and jumped and barked like always. She did smell a little funny, but I think Mom had another dog and some cats with her- that must have been it.

I’m glad that whatever was wrong with Scout is fixed now – I missed playing with her that day.
