Magic dog that she is, Scout was blessed with a heart-shaped spot on her left side.
She’s all heart, that girl. Boundless love and enthusiasm all wrapped up in a cute package. I posted this photo on February 22, 2008, just 5 days after I started this blog. I’ll be celebrating my 4th anniversary of blogging on February 17th.
I’m not big on celebrating Hallmark holidays. Don and I will wish each other a Happy Valentine’s Day, but the reality is that we say ‘I love you’ many times during any given day. I don’t need a card or a gift. Neither does Don. Though I wouldn’t mind a chocolate truffle!
But I do wish for you, my friends, days filled with love and everything that love encompasses: acceptance, tolerance, compassion, caring, kindness, empathy, hugs from a friend, kindness from a stranger, kisses from your sweetheart.
And maybe a chocolate or two. Or three.
She`s so pretty, Claudia.
Happy Vanlentine`s Day!

You and I had the same idea today! You’ll have to come over and check. Pretty Scout!
Happy Valentine’s Day to you, Don and the Mockingbird Hill Cottage critters.

Donna, Steve and Tag
Happy Valentines Day! Oh my goodness she is precious and I love that picture!
Blessings, Joanne
Well she’s certainly wearing her heart on her sleeve – but it’s the love in her eyes that shines through! Sweet girl, I can understand why you love her her so.
Have a great day full of love around the cottage Claudia – just like every day! Yes, we don’t need to fill the coffers of commercialization on this day – simple and true is all that matters.
Love and hugs, Mary
Love your doggie’s heart. Happy To You as my 2 year old grandson says. I hope your day is full of love.
That sweet Scoutie is an abundance of love. So is Riley even if he has a harder time showing it. Happy V-Day to you my wonderful sister.

Love the heart shape, that is soo cool. Happy Love day to you two…
Amazing. Scout is your daily Valentine. Wishing you a Happy Valentine and to Don. Hope you get your wish for a few chocolates!
Your Valentine’s wishes for us sums it up so perfectly. It should be about so much more than a tacky stuffed animal and expensive gifts. However, if someone gave me a sweet, real live dog with a heart on it…. okay, I know– even friends have limits! Scout is soooo adorable, and that heart is truly special!
Happy Valentine’s Day, sweet friend~
Hugs,
Jill
I thought you had been playing with an editing tool before I read that Scout’s heart is the real thing! Amazing.
That is very special to have a heart on your fur! Hope your day is filled with LOVE!~Hugs, Patti
Now that is sweet!!
A natural heart tattoo ; )

Could Scout be MORE cute???? How fun that she is marked that way!
Happy Valentine’s Day to you too!
Have a LOVE-ly day, Claudia!
How adorable! She is your little valentine, every day.
Happy Valentine’s Day, to you.
That darling Scout. We do not celebrate this day either.
Now that is a sweetheart of a dog! They sure hold a piece of our hearts, don’t they? Our Valentine’s Days are like other gift-giving holidays, pretty low key. Husband did mention going out over the weekend to buy me something, but he has a bad cold so I insisted that he stay home and rest. He was so relieved — not sure if it was because he wanted to rest, or just didn’t want to shop! Either way, it was fine. Any day can be Valentine’s Day, it’s not like love is expressed only one day of the year.
Scout is a very special girl. What loving eyes she has. Happy Valentine’s Day!
Happy Valentine´s Day Claudia – Have a great day
HAPPY VALENTINE’S DAY TO YOU, DON, SCOUT AND RILEY…….I LOVE THAT FURRY HEART…..IS THAT ADORABLE…OR WHAT…..HAVE A GREAT DAY…RIZZI
Dogs are special friends..My puppy is recovering from a broken jaw and it breaks my heart seeing him in pain, he’s my Valentine today :)
How special, Claudia, and the sweetest dog I can hear-
and you are so right -love is about every day, not only the 14/2 but it can be happiness with a cosy evening and a good meal–not to forget the chocolate :-)
Hugs,Dorthe
How sweet! My Mom has a cat who has a heart on his side! I don’t need a big celebration for Valentine’s day…just some chocolate! hugs, Linda
That Scout! She is beautiful and precocious, has a great personality. And boy, does she have heart!

Claudia,
Wishing you and Don and the beautiful pups a wonderful day. I can just feel the love in your blog.
Carol
Wishing you, Don, Scout, and Riley the warmest, most loving Valentine’s Day ever.
Glad to hear that you don’t buy into the Hallmark holidays, either. People often think I’m a bit off because I don’t jump at the chance to go overboard with presents. Truth is, the things I want I already have and they are “things” you can’t buy anyway!
Hugs to all of you!
Scout is adorable! I could hug her!!
Barbara
Happy Valentine’s Day, Claudia.
