Heidi, my first, was a once-in-a-lifetime kind of dog, although her lifespan didn't coincide much with my blog (http://bigdummydaddy.blogspot.com/2011/04/365-days.html). Scout probably appealed to me because of similarities in her prior life situation to Heidi's. Both had been young mothers, were despondent, malnourished, wary of people and scared of men. It's a lot of investment to take on a dog who has come from suckdom, but the payoffs can be terrific for all involved. <br /><br />Congrats to you and Brandy on 6+ years of a great symbiotic relationship. You've hit a lottery of your own. What I've seen of you through your blog inspired me to introduce bikes into my own canine-human endeavor. All the best to you both.Andy D.https://www.blogger.com/profile/01721273913834541311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5628808254855280975.post-66991895041126808882012-12-02T23:43:17.212-07:002012-12-02T23:43:17.212-07:00There are so many dogs that are born into suckdom....There are so many dogs that are born into suckdom. And then it gets worse for them from there. They're worth rescuing, and I can say this with confidence, because I'm on year 6 of my adoption of a 2 y/o rescue mess. Trouble at times? Oh yeah. Worth it though, oh hell yeah. Scout hit the lottery. Wishing you tons more fun riding/runing.Pat Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05348722701872187949noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5628808254855280975.post-25499169673026081172012-12-02T17:39:42.017-07:002012-12-02T17:39:42.017-07:00It's been fun having her around.
