Even from puppyhood, he knew how to ham it up for the camera.

He was good company for Dad when things were changing. And he would never judge him for wearing mis-matched socks. :)

He is the best dog I've ever known. And the cutest.

So today, we played ball at the park.

Scorch finally agreed that kiddie pools can be fun.

We followed up with a trip to Petsmart for some toys and treats. I even snuck in a few heeling sessions and drops-on-recall. For fun, we did a few moving stands, which we haven't practiced in a while, and he was fabulous as usual. Then we shared dinner at Cheeburger Cheeburger. Scorch VERY MUCH enjoyed his hamburger with mozzarella.

It was a great day, with a great dog, and a great boy. I can't believe 4 years has already flown by from when I first brought the little puffball home. I was watching some videos I took of him at 6 weeks old... already a tugging machine and connected with me. He even still runs exactly the same, just a little more gracefully now.

I love this dog.
