Scout
Scout “Cuddle Queen” McLaughlin is a heartily-sized black seal AKC Cocker Spaniel with champion lines. Scout came to our house at eight weeks old and melded right in with the other dogs and toddler Lily-Cate. She has a soft, beautiful coat that is wonderfully scrunchable, and she adores human attention. Scout has an intuitive grasp of how to fit in a human lap–no matter how tight the space or awkward the position! Despite being the largest of our Cockers, she is very gentle, and often acts as a peacemaker among her “sisters.” Her best friends are Lily-Cate the toddler, Lacey our buff cocker, and whoever’s lap she’s lounging in at the time! We have seriously considered renting Scout out as a “Therapy Lap-sitter.” Her reassuring weight and gentle, affectionate manners make her the best pick-me-up even on the worst day! Her one flaw is that it can be hard for us to get work done when she’s around–who can resist those sweet puppy-dog eyes? Scout gets along great with creatures of all shapes and sizes, making her a favorite among visiting children. We also utilize her pleasant, mellow nature as a “nanny” for cockapoo puppies in the house, and Scout expertly guides the pups in gentle play and passes along her own life philosophy: "a moment not spent cuddling is a moment wasted". Scout has now been retired to a lucky forever family as a treasured pet!
