Story: "Scooter Has An Itch"

  In this tale, Scooter tugs me along on his leash, as he nibble, nibble, nibbles on acorns he sniffs out as we take our daily walk. Those acorns must be awfully yummy! With a full belly and a satisfied grin, Scooter scoots off to his bed.

  Uh-oh! Scratch, scratch, scratch. Steve and I wake up and wonder, "What is that sound?" We creep out of bed and search our yellow house. We find Scooter scratching his belly. His belly is red. Something is wrong...smiley Scooter is not smiley.

  Steve and I must help Scooter. Scooter needs to smile again. What will we do?

Scooter the Corgi pup yips, "I so-o-o pretty!"

  Ginger Scooter took a break from his hard work; at play teething his squeaky toys on his very own blankey. "Sit, Scootie," I ordered. He posed ever so solemnly and still for the camera. Just look at his adorable, tiny, Corgi body!  A gaze at his marbley dark eyes and tender, evenly trimmed brows makes my heart melt every time. And, that black "circus" nose; is it on straight?

  Boy, what a contradiction: such spirit packed into this innocent looking pup! Steve and I became so enamored with this photo, it was destined to become our "Christmas Card"! We felt Scooter was our very own holiday blessing. And, that ginger Corgi, Scooter continues to bless our lives.
