You would think that Scooby would be miserable in those cold surroundings, but he loves the cold and the snow. He can't take the heat, and he dug himself a basement to cool off in during the summer. I let him dig it, and when I dig my dirt ramp going down into the cellar from the other direction out of his yard I will let him use that during the summer so that he can be cool. Scoob, as I call him often checks out the place and lets us know if anything is unusual. He doesn't just bark on and on, but he barks a little to alert us, and I love to hear him bark. His bark is in the bass cleff, and if you could be intimidated by a dog, he would intimidate because it sounds dangerous, like he could be dangerous, but he is very loving, very kind, and he would not hurt anyone or anything, but he is dynamite on mice and rats, and golfers. He is very kind to other dogs and to people as well. He has enough space to exercise when I am not able to walk with him. When the other doggie, Rand, gets out there with him, he runs and has more fun than you can imagine. He lets us know when the coyotes are out and about. I jokingly say that Scooby watches his big screen TV. It is the sliding glass door, and his program is what the humans do inside the house. He spends a lot of his time on the porch watching inside the house. He decided that he likes it inside the house, so he comes inside whenever he gets a chance. He thinks when I hope that door it is an invitation for him to come in. Often he runs to the front door as we go out the front door for our walks, and he loves our walks, but since I got really busy with my projects I have not had the time to walk, and now the weather is too cold, too miserable, and when it is warmer the road is too slick, and it is a challenge just to keep from falling while walking to get the mail. As soon as I can, and conditions will allow me and the doggies will be on our 6.5 mile walk again. In the summer have to go when it is cooling off in the evening, and then it is almost too hot for the doggies, and especially Scooby. Rand will sit in the shade and wait for me to make my return trip, because he knows the routine. Scooby will just sit on his bottom, or even lay down, and he will say to me, "Just try to make me move!!" And I don't try to make him move, only to go home after he has rested and cooled off, because I know he can't take the heat and I don't want to hurt him, so he is the boss!
