Bye Scout!

The unborn baby's decision to kick and subsequently drain her water bag has put a temporary hold on our dog acquisition plans. When we visited Scout in Austin back in mid-April we clearly saw he was a pretty nervous and skittish dog. We thought, when we agreed to take him, we'd have two months to work with him before the newest addition to the family arrived in mid-June.

Clearly, Scout is going to need a lot of work to rehabilitate him. More than I can provide now, given the current circumstances with with the attractive wife's pre-term delivery problems.

Luckily, my wife's sister lives nearby and has agreed to keep Scout for several months. She has a three kids who really took to Scout and a big back yard for him to play in. It's not optimal for Scout's eventual transition, but it's better than sending him back to Austin.
