Scooby

Addressed to Ms. Catherine Watson (FFN)
Reading, PA

Dear Ms. Watson:

     We are in receipt of your most gracious March 9, 2005 thank you note.  In turn, I will reciprocate with a "Scooby Status Report!"  I might have previously received an email from you or from the network but inadvertently deleted it prior to responding.

     The truth is we should be thanking you and "The Furry Friends Network" for the great work you do that, in turn, afforded us the opportunity to adopt Scooby.  For the longest time Kim and I deliberated as to whether we would be suitable pet owners in light of our three boys busy schedules (mainly sports related).  So far we have had no difficulty integrating a pet into our lives.

     When we considered getting a dog, adopting an animal in need seemed to make a lot of sense.  Admittedly, we knew very little about the work that you do and it was just a coincidence that my youngest son wondered into "PetsMart" the day we found Scooby.

     I would be remiss if I did not acknowledge the loving efforts of Stephanie Grossnickle.  Stephanie's love for her work and love of animals is a window into her soul.  She was great to deal with and we are forever grateful.

     You are welcome to us Scooby and our family as an example of a "success" story.  Scooby has been a wonderful addition to our home.  He brings us much joy and laughter.  The more affection you show him, the more he returns.  Everyone who sees Scooby just thinks he is the neatest dog.  One of our neighbors even brings Scooby treats and toys home from business trips!

     Our youngest boy loves Scooby and refers to him as his best friend.  Scooby likes to sleep in his cage at night and has been easy to house train.  Even as he cuts his teeth, Scooby has not made a pest of himself chewing things he is not supposed to.

     Thanks again,

     Sincerely,
     The Ober's
