Our foster dog Scooter got adopted this weekend by a really nice Japanese family. They're here because the father's work wants him here, all are presumably fluent in their native tongue but not so much in English. At first I was worried about the language barrier but then I figured that Scooter could learn Japanese! Now his name is "Skoo-tah." The family bowed and said "thankyouverymuch" when I told them they could have the leash and collar he was wearing. Have a happy life, little one.
