That was the message we were all being encouraged to take from astronaut, senator, and national hero John Glenn last week. The dogs and cats here at Best Friends must have been getting the message, too: While the senator was launching a new chapter in his life by heading back into orbit at the ripe old age of 77, Rosie, Satchmo, and several other dogs and cats were getting similar ideas here at the sanctuary! Rosie is 14 years old. She came to the sanctuary many years ago when her original family in Chicago moved, and decided they didnt want to take her with them. Like any dog thats been abandoned by their family, Rosie went into a depression when she first came here. At first, it was difficult for her to trust people again, but after a while she built a new life for herselfwith her new doggie friends and shes been a happy camner around Best Friends Dogtown ever since then. Then, suddenly, just a few weeks ago, quite out of the blue, she took a shine to a couple who were visiting Best Friends from & Satchmo Kanab about 10 years ago when he climbed up under the hood of a car and went to sleep on top of the warm engine. A few hours later, Satchmo got quite a shock when the engine suddenly sprang to life. Luckily for him, he only lost an ear while escaping. He was brought to Best Friends and hes been here ever since. After years of showing no par-- . ticular interest in people, Satchmo suddenly started making friends with tourists and visitors. One day, a couple ofmonths ago, he climbed into someones camera bag and just sat there, inviting them to take him home. That wasnt, in fact, a possibility but, soon after that, he attached himself to a family who were visiting from Minnesota, and this time it was a perfect match. For dogs and cats like Rosie and Satchmo, their older years really can be golden. Just like with children who are abused in their formative years, it can take a long time for a sensitive dog like Rosie to work the hurt the sense of of her sysout unwanted being tem. And a cat like Satchmo can decide, quite instinctively, to stay away from adventures after getting one surprise too many. Navy Petty Officer 3rd Class Charles D.
