When we started looking for a dog to share the house with, I was thinking of a German Shepard or Labrador Retriever or some such - a DOG. My wife, meanwhile, was interested in a teacup poodle or other tiny little thing - which I referred to as a "doglet". She prevailed (actually, Scooter did all the convincing), and we incorporated "doglet" into his name. Of course, being a Belgian-French breed, the last name is pronounced "doh-GLAY".

Here's a picture of Scooter on his 1st birthday. He had quite the party - a backyard cookout with 30 human and several canine friends attending. And those nice people kept setting their plates with chicken and hamburgers down where he could reach them! Yum!!

All set to go out in the snow ...

Here's Scooter with his buddy Thor, a Peruvian guinea pig, sadly no longer with us. And that's Michael kindly providing the lap ...

And a few "cute puppy" shots to close.
