Scooter Headshot

Scooter is like my Bob. He's half the size, doesn't seem to get in as much trouble as Bob, and he doesn't seem to think I'm made of food, but Maggies' great stories always remind me of him. Here's a few pics.

Oh, what a strong chin and noble demeanor Scooter has.

Do you notice distinct personality differences among your three big sullies? How do they interact with each other? Does one of them hog the games?

Very distinct personality differences. Scooter is always underfoot and into whatever I'm doing in the pen. If I'm in there raking, I'll have to move him to the other side of the pen several times to keep him out of the way. Bert, by comparison, is also interested, but not so pesky. Delores will always come up to whoever is in or near the pen, but she'll usually be following the other two. Scooter is also much more active. He's always the first one out of the den box in the morning and the last one in at night. He seems to do laps around the pen, inspecting every square inch. It is possible to fill up the other two, but Scooter always seems to find more room and appetite. He also drinks more during soaks. He also tends to hold his head higher and out more. This just makes for better pics. Poor Bert grew up in his shadow and has just recently come into his own. I like Bert's color better, but Scooter wins the prize for demeanor and personality.

Scooter tolerates it. Bert will let me if I sit with him for just a minute and Delores would prefer to be left alone, unless there is food involved. Then she'll come running right up to you.
