scrappy, the soccer playing pooch.

when steven and dad came to visit (here), they brought along their two dogs: odie (who got his name from being called "O.D." or "other dog" when they didn't have a name for him yet) and sir scrappy.

for a few weeks leading up to their visit, my dad kept telling us how scrappy was awesome with a soccer ball. yeah, okay dad... whatever. 

then, we saw scrappy in action and couldn't stop smiling. he's a natural with the ball! dribbling, balancing the thing on his head as he runs - he doesn't stop.  

apparently one afternoon a neighbor's soccer ball got thrown over the fence and scrappy just started going crazy and dribbling the ball. take a look at our little soccer mutt.
