Last week in “Days of Our Nine Lives,” Panther introduced six new ARF dogs.

Panther: Time for the ARF dog and cat update.

Sadie: Perfect, because here come some new family members!

Freda: (enters) Hi, everyone! I’m Freda, and I am really happy to meet all of you. I love other dogs and cats. I’m a Basenji-mix, about 6 years old.

Jax: And I’m Jax, a 2-year-old adorable terrier-mix, and I also like dogs and cats.

Zoe: And so do I! I’m also a super cute terrier-mix, about 5

years old.

Pepper: And we have yet another dog who likes cats and other dogs. Meet Daisy.

Daisy: Hi, there! If you can’t tell by looking at me, I’m a miniature apricot poodle, 6 years old.

Mr. Gray: And what about the kittens?

Panther: Four of the eight are now at ARF.  The others will

be here later this week.

Indigo: So far we have Topsy, Pompom, Cricket, and Spanky.

Panther: They will be ready to go to their forever homes on Memorial Day. They are so darned cute!

Indigo: You know, a lot of ARF’s family members are finding forever families.

Mr. Gray: That’s right. They’re disappearing faster than a cold beer at the June 2 beer fest at the Nature Center!

Jax: I hope I’m next.

Zoe: Me, too.

Sadie: We all deserve forever homes. Let’s hope when the humans come to ARF’s yard sale this weekend, they’ll take the time to meet us.

Freda: I bet when they do, they won’t leave empty handed, if you know what I mean.

Daisy: It will be love at first sight!!
