Scout, the shy tough guy

What is your pet’s name?
Scout.

What is the breed of your pet?
Sharpei.

How was your pet’s name chosen?
Our family is heavily involved in Boy Scouts.

Does your pet have a favorite walking route?
Scouts favorite walk is between his food bowl and the window in order to watch the neighbor’s cat, which lays just outside the window and taunts him.

What’s the most embarrassing thing your pet has ever done?
While Scout is a “tough guy” barking through the window at the neighbor’s dogs while they walk past our home, he turns into the biggest chicken when he gets around other dogs, especially the fluffy poodle down the street.

Does your pet have a pet peeve? If so, what is it?
Scout’s biggest pet peeve is the neighborhood bunny population who likes to sit and nibble grass right outside the window. Drives him nuts.

If your pet could answer any question, but just one, what would you ask?
Does having all those wrinkles bother you?
