Scout is a cool name for a dog. The first day we got our new pup we named him Scout, but within 24hrs I realized I'd have to rename him. See I habitually say "Good Boy" to my dog when he does something good....and then follow up with his name.
I realized I didnt want to spent my life getting quizzical looks from folks when I keep saying "Good Boy Scout, Good Boy Scout."
Maybe my next dog will be a girl....oh wait guess that wouldnt work either.
