Yesterday March 31st was Scooby’s 20 year and seven month birthday. And he greeted Buddha.

And today on his walk, in typical Buddha fashion, he convinced two angry dogs to not be angry. Literally.

The moment he appeared, just steps away from their growling and heated altercation, both dogs froze when Scooby let out a series of barks. Louder barks than I’ve ever heard him bark.

And those dogs were so shocked that they forgot what they were angry about. I saw it myself. Because right there at that very moment they both went silent. Not a peep.

And then Scooby stepped forward and greeted each of them. And then we walked on. As if it never happened.

At times like that I shake my head and wonder who this dog named Scooby really is?

But this much I can tell you. Today, on April Fool’s Day, it’s no joke. I LOVE this guy. And I am so thankful to have him in my life.

Tonight as he sleeps, I wonder. What does he dream about?
