Three older men, Max, Leon and 
Sam, were talking about what 
their grandchildren would be 
saying about them 50 years from 
now.

“I would like my grandchildren 
to say, ‘He was successful in 
business,’” declared Max.

“Fifty years from now,” said Leon, 
“I want them to say he was a 
loyal family man.”

Turning to Sam, the first gent 
asked, “So what do you want 
them to say about you in 50 
years?”

“Me?” Sam replied. “I want them 
all to say, ‘He certainly looks 
good for his age.’”

DOG OF THE WEEK

H

ello! I am Lilo Bear! I am a female, 10-month-old, 9 lb. 
Scottish Terrier mix. I would love to be your forever 
friend! 
 I am working on coming out of my shell, but give me a little 
time — I can do it! My foster mom is helping me so much. I am 
pee-pad trained and sleep the night. I am not sure about toys 
yet but sure know about treats.
I am learning how to live in a home with humans and am 
building trust. I am also learning to go outside, and that the 
backyard is for me to run around in. I don’t like to wander too 
far from my foster mom right now. When I hear new sounds, I 
might be a little nervous.
I am learning to go in a crate and getting familiar with the 
leash and walks. I haven’t met many humans other than my 
foster mom yet, but she is going to work with me on greeting 
people. How to live in a home is the first step. 
 I am building confidence every day! I would love to have a 
loving, patient and understanding home to give me the love I 
need to bring out the best in me. 
 Please complete an adoption application for me at https://
almosthomeanimals.org. I am based out of West Bloomfield. 

Lilo Bear!
