Yesterday I had the best time in the whole world! I went up North, and visited a new friend. His name is Scotty and he is a sheltie. His mom and dad is Mary and Tim, and they are Karen's family. When we pulled in the driveway I was star struck I tell you! He looked like my hero - Lassie! He did indeed.

When I first met Scotty, he was on his leash and we were outside in the driveway. Mary, his mom said it was good to let Scotty meet me outside rather than in the home for the first time so it was equal ground. Equal? There is NOTHING equal about me. It's all about me me me. Anyway, I wondered if he was gonna eat me, because he has a really long mouth with a lot of teeth, as you can see here. I was a little camera shy here, but then Scotty told me to "man up" and I opened my eyes for another picture as you can see.

We had gone one a long walk down this snowy trail. It was so much fun! Scotty goes off the leash with his mom sometimes, but his dad Timmy never seen him off his leash so he was a little worried. Scotty did really well, and stayed with me all the time. We ran and jumped and did so much on that long trail. I ran after snowballs, and we even pooped and peed in unison! Go Figure!

Before our walk, I stole Mary's calzone off her plate when she was busy in the other room. Well, look - I'm starving! Remember the "D" word? I went there and Mary had great food! Yep, she sure did. There was salad, calzone and pizza! Not to mention, she had pre-packed a DOGGY BAG just for me from Scotty! This place was great and I wanna go back again soon.

I think Scotty and I will be great friends for a long time. He taught me some things, and I taught him some things. On our long walk, he told me he was a bit worried about the "snip" operation, and I told him it wasn't so bad because I had it done last month. I think I reassured him and he felt better about it. I told him the worse thing was the dang lampshade, but he said he might be able to weasel out of that one if he shows enough cuteness to Mary and Tim.

Anyway, I was just weally weally weally excited to play with Scotty, and fell asleep all the way home. I was dog tired I tell ya.

Scotty man, you tell your mom to get you hooked up with blogging buddy. It's lots of fun. You get to have loads of fun sharing your life with other dogs, and humans too! Plus, the bestest part is you get to squeal on your parents through your blogging! Hee Hee.

Gotta go and annoy my mom now.

Love,
Cooper
