My Friend Hubert

Also known as Hubbie, Huber, Rupert, Scoobert, Scoobie Huber, and Spud Head. It's been said that a child that is dearly loved has many names and Hubert fits the bill. He was a pound puppy and I fell in love with him at first site. With little bat ears, one flops up and the other down. He is an all round neighbor hood dog, has friends (dogs and folks) next door that he sometimes goes in to play with or have dinner with and even an occasional sleep over. He sleeps at the end of my daughters bed and will not go out in the morning unless he nudges her awake or I call him to come down. Everyone in the neighborhood knows him-by at least one of the above names and we all love him very much.
