Because of Scooby Doo!

Today has been great. Early this afternoon, Ian, the young man who adopted Scooby Doo from us, the son of our great friends, Patty and Roger, came out with Courtney, his new girlfriend, because she was interested in adopting one of our dogs and we had so much fun with them, while we showed them all of our dogs.

We first invited them inside The Cabin to show them Little Sister and Courtney liked Little Sister, our new, adorable 3 1/2 month-old Chihuahua, but she wanted a bigger dog. While we introduced them to our dogs outside, Ian told us that he was graduating from college, this month and we are so proud of him, as I am sure his parents are. Then Ian bragged about how cool Scooby Doo was and about how much he loved him.

When we were halfway done introducing them to our dogs, Courtney found her forever friend. It was love at first site for the two of them and it was Queen Latifah! "She's about two-years-old, sweet as she can be and one super, fine dog," Tony bragged. "Kim, our volunteer, visiting from South Africa, is absolutely wild about her, as are all of our super volunteers..."

After Tony took Queen Latifah out of her big pen that she shares with Dr. John, so they could meet each other—they instantly fell in love with each other, in front of Annie Oakley's pen as Courtney petted, shook hands with her, rubbed her belly and then took her for a short walk.

When they returned from their walk—they were one with each other. "I am so in love with Queen Latifah that I want to adopt her right now, but I can't take her right now, because of my new job and the long hours of training, but in ten days or less I will come out and get her," Courtney promised. "Can y'all please hold her for me, because I am so in love with this dog?"

And since it was so obvious that Queen Latifah loved Courtney just as much or more as Courtney loved her, we said, "Yes! Of course we can do that!"

When it was time for them to leave, Tony took Queen Latifah's leash, so he could return her to her pen and this beautiful, magnificent dog resisted somewhat, because she wanted to go home with Courtney now and after we had told her that she was going to be adopted by Courtney, sooner than later, the queen understood and she easily went back into her pen with no problem. And that literally made our day and it was all because of Scooby Doo.

Y'all have a great evening!
