So, as promised, I am updating Scooter's condition. We went to the vet on Friday to have Dr. Hamilton check Scooter's leg. She said it looked much better. He was still sensitive and guarding his leg. But, she said it was a great improvement. She gave us a "physical therapy" assignment for him. He has to go swimming at least twice a day for the next 2 weeks. If he does that, he should be strong enough to regain normal behavior. Well, we have been letting him run around the house and yard but he isn't allowed to get "crazy." No playing ball or jumping around. And he's been doing pretty good with that. We don't have a swimming pool, so we had to go buy a little one. Well apparently in August stores stop carrying pools. We were lucky enough to find one on clearance. Scooter loves to swim! I didn't get any pictures taken, but I will soon. It's really cute to see him in the pool. Penny doesn't like to swim but can't help but be curious enough to keep getting in.
So hopefully in 2 more weeks, Scooter will be as good as new. Thanks to everyone for all their nice thoughts and comments! I'm sure Scooter will give you a BIG kiss (or lick) when he sees you!

Please, please get pictures of Scooter in the pool! We've been in to some really cute pet stores up here and find so many cards and items with dashhounds on them. We always think of our "granddogs"....and are overjoyed that Scooter is getting better. We love those pups. They're great dogs.
Erica was visiting for a week for part of the time that you were in Laughlin. How was your trip? HOT, I bet.
How's the job hunting?
Thinking of you LOTS and missing you too much.
Hugs,
Karen and Greg
