Scooter

I'm Scooter, and I'm eight years old. I came to the Thelin household six years ago. I lived with another family first, and they took me to a grooming center to be washed and made beautiful. Unfortunately for me, my former owners decided to abandon me there. My mother was at work, and talking on the phone to a client of hers. She had my Boston Terrier brother with her. It just so happened that the client owned the grooming center, and when my mother heard that I had been left there, she drove right over to pick me up. I was a real terror at first. I chewed the wires of the telephone and air conditioner systems, and ate through a chain link fence. I also devoured two pairs of glasses, numerous stuffed toys, a dried flower arrangement, a straw hat, a science project, a dayglo orthodontic retainer, and decapitated a Barbie doll. In the process of eating everything in sight, I gained eight pounds, and I now weigh 33 pounds! My father has me on a weight reduction program, but I'm doing everything in my power to make it fail. I like to walk around the house with weapons in my mouth, such as scissors or a pointed screw driver. In my early days, I was also known for biting, but I've decided to be mellow in my old age, and now I'm much better and very cuddly. My parents say that my early life must have affected me, but I'm a reformed terrier now and no longer a terror!
