Shaggy and his littermate brother Scooby came to live with us in October 2005, when they were 5 years old. Scout arrived in 2006 at the age of 6 weeks. Scooby passed over very suddenly to the Rainbow Bridge on April 1, 2012 and is remembered fondly and missed deeply.

Shaggy & Scooby's Gotcha Day

Today is our Gotcha Day!

Five years ago, when we were five years old, we came to live here with our new mom & dad.

We are brothers from the same litter and used to live with a nice boy. The boy had to move because he took a job in a distant state and for some reason couldn't take us. So then we lived with the boy's mother. The boy's mother had a job that took her overseas a lot so she tried to find us homes before the next time she had to go.
She wasn't having much luck trying to place us together. One person said she'd take Shaggy, but not Scooby. He would have to go to a shelter! The mom had a friend who worked in the same place as our forever mom and that lady posted a flyer about us to help her out.

"CAN YOU GIVE A HOME TO 2 BEAUTIFUL MALE INDOOR KITTIES?"
"Scooby is short haired, black and white. "
"Shaggy is long haired in shades of brown and white."

It told how the owner would prefer to keep us together, and said we were nootered and current on all our rooster shots.
Our forever mom watched that flyer for 2 weeks and it never came down and deadline for us to go to a new home was almost here! She called the co-worker and asked about us.

The rest is history.
Her heart went out to us, and she said she'd give us a home together.
Forever.

Happy 5th Gotcha Day, Shaggy and Scooby!

You have such a wonderful mom who would take both of you so neither one had to go to a shelter.

I'm so happy you're deeply ensconced in your furever home. No worries.

Have a marvelous day! Hope you both get lots of treats and extra cuddles.

Happy Gotcha Day! We're so happy that you two were able to stay together. I don't know what we would do if we ever had to be separated. Your Mom is a special lady. Sometimes the journey isn't how we expected to get there, but the destination is the right place.

Scooby, yakking directly into your Mom's clog is probably not appropriate behavior.
