What was the best part of this past year?

For a few years, we were thinking about getting another dog, and Britt wanted a brother.    So, we were looking for a boy dog.  We kept looking at Huskies and Australian Shepherds.   Momma decided on an Aussie.  We found a breeder with puppies for sale.  Britt decided on a black tri, but he was still deciding on a name.  The names he was down to were Scout and Bandit.  So, we went there and we got Scout.  He was just a little smaller when we got him, but way heavier than Neela.  When we held him he would nibble and lick our ears.  He had a white spot where his collar would be shaped like a bandana.  When we went to bed, Scout was noisy, very noisy.  He wasn't use to being by himself, he had 10 brothers and sisters.  So next morning, we got Scout out and after about an hour, Britt decided he should be Scout because he sniffed around and scouted out the place.

Scout is super cuddly and big and super, super fluffy.  He is silly and flops on his back when he wants you to scratch his belly.  When he meets a dog he says hello by jumping on their heads, then he runs and runs and runs with them and rolling over.  He loves to run after balls.  One time, he ran to the ball and ran back, but he forgot to grab it.  Sometimes he grabs the ball but forgets to bring it back.  Sometimes he grabs the ball and then drops it before he gets back.  He's not really good at fetching yet.  Getting Scout was the best part of last year.
