I left a voice mail message for Benji’s owner, Suzie, and the following was the voice mail message she left for me:

“Hi Pam. This is Suzie and I’m the lady that Adopted Benji in November. His new name is Wooky and he is by far the best dog I’ve ever owned in my life, or shared my life with. I don’t own him. We share our lives together. Oh my gosh, he is so good. Him and I are actually on the way to the Burnett County shelter as we are talking now to look at Bruce. Over a 14-year old black lab that is there. I’ve been working with Kimberly on that one. So, if Wooky likes Bruce and Bruce likes Wooky, then hopefully Bruce will be coming home with us today too. I’m a sucker for the older dogs. It would be really hard to top Wooky. He’s phenomenal. He turned into a great, great, great boy. I love him to pieces. I hope you have a wonderful holiday season and rest assure Wooky, aka Benji, is doing fantastic.”
