  • (Big sigh).
    Hi everyone, the mystery of where Scout went to has ended, has been solved. Steve and I were absolutely shocked to hear that his body was found, and it was nothing we had thought of or expected. I don't even know how to feel about that to be honest, but it is what it is. Nothing is going to bring him back.
    Although we were 99.9% sure Scout was dead, I guess there was always a little bit of hope that one day he would show up. The book officially closing has definitely brought on a whole new set of emotions - like we are grieving all over again. The wounds are beginning to heal, and I am starting to feel some closure now. (even though exactly how he died is still a puzzling mystery to us).
    Thank you all so much for being so supportive through this time, through this tragedy. It's not my preference to make such sad videos like these ones, but I felt that this final video for Scout was necessary to properly close the book for both myself and for all of you guys too. ❤️‍🩹
    The future looks bright, there's a ton of fun to happen under the sun, so I will see you all then, when that time comes ❤️ (did I just write a poem? 😂).
    💕

    I'm sitting here with tears in my eyes. We love our animals so much and they are just family to us so I know what you must be feeling. But as you said, at least now there is closure and life goes on. But a lot of us love your animals too because we see your love for them and we understand that. Time is the great healer and there will always be the memories. What a beautiful entity he was. You could see his can do spirit even with his handicap. I loved him too as I'm sure many of us out here did.

    Finding Scout and being able to bring him home is so sad, and though the mystery of his demise is frustrating, it is not as frustrating as worrying he is still out in the wilderness fending for himself. RIP Scout.

Our first was an elder dog who we were only allowed to spoil for a couple of years before she left us behind. Dogs are so good....

You have made a great home for them and it’s easy to see how much they love you. I realize it has been a while now since this happened but I wanted to say that finding out about Scout’s demise must have been horrible and I cried watching this video knowing how much it must be hurting you to make this video.

    I purposely did not watch the two previous videos about Scout. We had just lost our girl Callie to cancer after eleven glorious years, and there was no way I could sit through that. It would be too painful. Very sorry this has happened, but what a great life you gave him, as we gave to our Callie. We now have a new young girl named Brooke, and we will now concentrate on giving her the best possible life we can, as you will continue doing for your present family of pets and future family of pets.
