uh-huh really one shave at least I don't care about his well-being well the way you looked at him yesterday you know nothing to do with this ball game and the way he looks at Christine waters has nothing to do with mine we all guys look at Christine at hair Steve a beautiful face so so magical doesn't matter she is moving to a distant galaxy far far away and long distance relationships and distant galaxies never work you and Dan of all people should know that your timing is perfect my timing mm-hmm Michelle I did not move back here to be with Dan we're not in high school anymore like

was great you know you're a natural like your girlfriend oh yeah Kristi Wow she lives for it she always has it for it and I guess but you know what she helps raise a lot of money so oh that's really considerate of her since she seems to hate dogs hey it's a pretty strong word when it comes Kristi you haven't changed a bit I take that as a compliment if I were you well it was menses one for for what for plateless why for you didn't she wanted to come damn Kristi great thanks for coming hello everyone hey so sweet of you to do this I mean it's just dinner oh no it's not I mean we could have gone to a nice restaurant or something but this is very thoughtful and honestly unexpected I didn't think you'd approve mmm not that Dan needs your approval and I'm missing something um you haven't even told her tell me what well first I'm needed in New York sooner than expected we're moving at the end of the month oh you're moving at the end of the month no we asked together when that's not the

you trust me of course not we have 30 days to turn this disaster and the meddling begins no the countdown begins [Music] while your duck will be swimming again in no time mrs. Benn laughs hello thank you you're very sweet well that's because she takes after me your granddaughter has a nice disposition I don't know where she got that from very funny but nonetheless you're

thank you yeah but I mean why is that she has some kind of crazy allergy or what she just doesn't like dogs wait I'm sorry I'm just trying to comprehend she she doesn't like dogs at all apparently when she was a little girl she got bit I just think that's an excuse you know I wonder sometimes whether she just doesn't like that I get more attention with dogs than her jealous of the rescue animals it's just a theory okay we thought never being able to have a dog it's a relationship right it's about compromise no compromises about meeting in the middle I'm seeing about 90 tiny here Dan sorry she's your fiancee do I detect a little bit of sarcasm Carly Monroe I wasn't going for a little that's right you haven't changed a bit Wow how else are you gonna know that I will that I am sincere so how'd you end up with Christie waters I mean laurels biggest dog lover the world's biggest dog eater she didn't exactly spell it out when we first started dating so she lied to you she

Gilbert I am it's really nice to meet you nice to meet you too and thank you Dan it wouldn't be fair if someone else got their hopes up for this one well I know a good match when I see one excuse me everyone I have an announcement to make a surprise for the man I love Dan the dog man here we go I know I have been totally wrapped up in my new job and I'm sorry for that but yesterday I called the network and told them I needed a big favor and I am proud to announce that you dan Landis will be the New York Regional Executive Director for the National Dog Rescue Association what yes right in the heart of New York everything you're doing here but on an entirely different level are you soon yes of course I'm serious I don't know what to say how about thank you thank you I knew you'd be happy yeah yeah definitely I'm gonna go get out of this makeup looks like another celebration is in order okay [Music] I honestly can say I didn't see that coming here that's kind of surprises huh yeah congratulations you deserve it Thanks sure well I guess that's that then my daddy ever credit her timing is impeccable hmm I know I go on and on about the shelter but he's my brother and I kind of like having him there I got used to it so you're just giving up yeah I mean Dan just let his dream job our little plan backfired we have the white flag I'm not have an idea talk to me only problem is I still have feelings for Dan or is it simply a transference of memories there you do think that again we have to understand something Michelle we don't remember past relationships based on fact who remember them based on feelings you know just grasp onto something that can never be recreated and by romanticizing certain experiences we simply make our present fulfillment why I've seen worse than it actually is come again have to make sure that I've done the right thing very fine we have less than a week what's your plan okay so Dan's main concern about leaving is the welfare of the dogs right right seems to be a case so what if we have an adoption fair I mean forget about adopting one dog what do we find homes for all of them for Dan leaves that's great the dogs yay but what about you and down and keeping him here I mean that's just gonna make him happy that easily well not necessarily I mean if it'll make him realize what wonderful work he's doing here and you know what I've been walking away from the chance to spend some more time together really use some more time uh-huh dick events down for you both I see there we go just keep an eye on him you'll be okay [Music] [Music] you didn't steal him did you why stole him actually I thought maybe you might like to take him for a walk on your own property give me a chance to see if he likes it here or not before he makes his decision good idea I'll be right with you [Music] you think Prince would like it here I think he'd love it you know if I did adopt him you could come and visited many time oh well I mean we got to do what's right for the dog you know your flowers are so beautiful did you plan all these yourself it's become somewhat of a hobby you decided to retire you're gonna need a hobby not if Carly's more than capable my patience will be in good hands you know she is so lovely and it's just a shame that Dan's moving away because the two of them are in love they seem to be the only two they don't know it I think they do they just don't know how to say I hope they figure it out shame if they don't [Music] I think it's perfect you think we can get it organized in a week we can do it yeah we can do it was just um you know pass out some flyers hang out some posters and you know we'll make it an event what are we gonna hold it well it shouldn't be here it should be someplace people would normally take their dogs right how about long late work you know we could set up a walking area do a meet and greet have some fun we could do an interview room I love it great oh and I thought a banner that says countdown to love just to remind people that dogs are more than just pets oh hey bees you doing okay huh countdown the love yeah let's just call it what it is okay yeah let's do it [Music] Hey I just really want you to know I really appreciate everything you're doing and shoot sorry hey what's up because if I'm gonna work for them I'm here okay yeah sure see you soon I'm gonna have to catch up with you I gotta go help Christy pack yeah I gotta give Beasley another checkup anyway it's just so amazing how she has taken to you yeah she just needed a little more time it's amazing how much she loves dogs I mean she's a real dog person what I'm just saying right we'll see you there so I've got all the shelter volunteers on board with helping with the event local media is gonna promote it and they are eating up hand on the love idea it's great what next banners so I'm gonna head to the local print shop oh and tomorrow we have to work on getting all these critters cleaned up so can you get some supplies for that I'm already on it great I'll see you tomorrow Forever Friends rescue shelter Michelle speaking [Music] Oh Carly Oh ha hey miss Gilbert Rita came over to discuss Prince Oh Mina we were just talking I'm just talking about discussing French clearly come sit down actually we made a decision about Perez and who gets to adopt him dan seems to think he likes both of us equally I see and after careful consideration we decided that we would we both actually like to spend a lot more time with him actually but as much time as possible okay and the only logical way to do that is if we both adopted very logical yeah which means we would be spending a lot of time together well I think that's great you do really yeah of course I did why I know you both deserve a friend well it's mostly about Prince definitely and it's very noble oh by the way you know I saw a cute little apartment were very happy just down the street okay I'll look into it I think okay you don't think this is moving a little fast to you for prints well in our age we have to move fast well have a good night [Music] so you know I just so close with my grandfather and I just thought that it made sense for me to want to become a better team you know ya know it's been so good today too [Music] got em clean nobody likes a smelly dog do they [Music] no I was thinking mm-hmm Beasley here and you know that I'm a good matchmaker oh yeah the best a legend what are they calling in these parts the canine connect well that's one of them anyhow I was thinking that I should adopt Beasley well actually that Beasley should adopt you but yeah right you're the only other person that she trusts and I'm not holding onto a lot of hope that that's gonna change after the adoption fair I'm just really worried about what's gonna happen to her after I leave Beasley he's great but she belongs with you yeah it's not negotiable it's pretty amazing to me how you can be so good at matching dogs to people and even people to other people what do you mean my grandfather hasn't been this happy in years very cleverly done by the way it was a layup yeah but still you did that and you do it every day but somehow you really have no talent for matching yourself to others do you you know every discussion we have is about my choices and my decisions what about you why can't you tell me how you really feel okay don't go to New York that's how I feel no that's what you think I don't you want me to go into New York come on because damn Wow her timing is impeccable so is yours Vickers you two would being a dog-friendly cafe are you having another stroll down memory lane we were just discussing my future in New York how much I'm gonna miss Beasley Beasley yeah easily well thanks to me Beasley will more than likely have a new home by tomorrow I spoke with my station manager they've agreed to do live updates from the adoption fair throughout the day sort of an extension of the Friday friend segment there won't be a single dog left with that kind of exposure and then there will be nothing holding Dan back exactly you know Christie you have an uncanny ability of doing other people favors that somehow managed to serve you more than anyone thank you Dan for having dinner with my parents remember are you coming with me are you yeah yeah and then you just set that to him just like that yep then what happened he seemed really upset really and then what happened nothing clean mean showed up just in time to bail him out you're so close I'm not sorry I can hear you it was so loud what would you say go ahead all right it's no sauce only we had a few more days he almost didn't get into our car and tell him again profess your love to him I can't do that why not because you can't just convince someone to fall in love with you you are so stubborn you don't have to convince him he loves you you know he does know it's it's really it's not too late look he made his choice I saw that today so let's just do the adoption fair tomorrow and then we'll just get on with our lives ice cream ice cream always helps yeah I'm so many flavors right now stock freezer yeah of course you two seem to be hitting it off quite nicely huh Oh Beasley yeah pretty sure she has her heart set on someone else yeah I've been watching watching while not spying that's why I watch I observe I was a teacher it taught me a lot about human nature I used to see these kids they would they'd have crushes on each other but they'd never say anything about it and I think they were too embarrassed but yet they always seem to find some reason to interact like walking the same dog mrs. Gilbert yeah I think I've been playing along quite nicely don't you oh yes very very nicely I mean men are clueless sometimes I mean that in the most loving way it's really quite sweet and then of course there's Dan he's so proud of his matchmaking skills and I don't want him to be disappointed but I did kind of make sure that I was at the shelter of a second time your grandfather came to walk the dog grandpa's kind of hot mrs. Gilbert no seriously stop you know women don't pick up on things the way we do dan that's why I had to play along you know and just to act like I didn't know it was more than Prince he wanted to take a walk with soon you're on dinner of course I am she doesn't realize that don't tell her I don't wanna embarrass her dr. Munro insisting all dog can learn new tricks who says I'm an old dog I'm just so obvious how you two feel about each other just say it your grandfather is telling me everything I need to know without ever saying a word sometimes you need to say where it's mrs. Colburn sometimes you need to hear him this isn't a dress rehearsal it's our life you see that on a pillow or a sign a sign actually look the point is the two of you didn't just find the perfect dog you you found each other seize the day I remember I guess I should be taking my own advice hey you said it not me you want me to tell her how I feel dr. Monroe women they want to hear what's in your heart you don't want her to meet another dog start taking him for a walk no I suppose not so I think we're finished here that's two let's go find Princeton we'll take him for a walk great [Music] did you say I haven't told you how I felt oh yeah oh yeah thank the clue in fingers crossed I'm so happy for them me too no it's funny I I know mrs. Gilbert has more life experience than I do but I think I was able to give her some really good advice yeah me too how big flew in you keep saying that oh [Music] I gotta get back to the shelter so yeah I have some appointments thank you again for all of this yeah of course yes I'll see you tomorrow tomorrow [Music] [Music] that way we're gonna have a great turnout tomorrow yeah you know I didn't actually think we could pull this off yeah so you all packed up ready to go look I know what you're upset that I'm going and I'm leaving it with the shelter right no I I'm not anymore I mean I I mean it I just don't want you to be stressed out anymore yeah I just want you to know that the shelter is in good hands I just hope that you are I guess that's the million-dollar question hey are you sure you don't know the answer that may be Carly coming home brought back a lot of memories a lot of feelings good ones and then suddenly I have to move and give up the shelter that I worked so hard to build make decisions on the rest of my life I'm feeling torn I can't help but wonder if the feelings that I have for Carly or just the transference of how I used to feel and maybe it's the same for her and she just doesn't realize it yet Wow you both are seriously attached to the ring look you know you don't need any more advice especially from me I mean you're my brother I love you no matter what you decide I'm gonna support you but I will say this sometimes it's not a decision how so sometimes the universe decides these things for us I just hope that you'll be awake enough to get the proof brother [Music] [Music] [Music] why don't we go take a look at the one you want we're gonna run out of Dodge before we run out of people I know suffer Beasley keeps growling at everyone well I thought Dan wanted you to adopt Easley he does but I just can't right now you know I don't know where I'm gonna live and besides she'll just remind you of Dan stay better huh no one let's go see how the adoptions are doing so remember if you've ever thought about being adopted by a dog today is your day come on down right now to Long Lake Park and check out all these canine cuties and I'll be there to make sure they find their perfect match you cuz that's what Dan the dog man does come see him while you still can because tomorrow we'll be taking off for New York New York keep watching we'll be back with one last live update soon and we have officially been adopted and it's great the both of you well well officially it's in Rita's name but I get visitation rights it's joint custody great event Carly should be proud of yourself at thanks grandpa we're going to dinner later at the grill house I can't you join us no actually I need to stay back and help my shot clean up but why don't you two or three enjoy yourselves see ya house yep bye Oh cute are they they're adorable so glad we finally figured it out hey I can't even begin to tell you how amazing this is yeah I didn't think this many people would turn out one of the things I'm gonna do when I get to New York is sponsor events like this throughout the country I mean people don't need to go to pet stores there are so many shelters with animals just waiting for someone to give them a home I think it's a great idea you know Dan actually I'm pretty worried about Beasley you know she's been really agitated she's snarling at everyone maybe we should keep her with one of us yeah Hey want to get easily here babies it's fresh air and sunshine huh see you're good match yeah finally it's about my job I've been calling and calling and they're only now just getting back to me Dan here how's it going well we continued to talk in metaphors I don't have time for metaphor us used to talk to Joe in the song it's about his job well he doesn't look happy where is Dan we are about to go live he's over there Oh what why uh be right back thank you we're on there in three minutes babe that was my new boss Oh regional executive director that job is filth and it's not vacating anytime soon they want me on as a volunteer okay I know how this sounds I may have made a slight error in my choice of words choice of words you said I was going to be the regional executive director which is true it's a matter of semantics once you get in there once you wow them they'll go right to the top what I said is you will be the regional executive director one day he looks pretty upset hmm you manipulated me I had to do something otherwise you wouldn't come with me look I am doing you a favor by getting you out of this stupid hick town by lying to me well I'm not the only one who lied to you are you talking about Carly yes she's been lying to you for weeks I think I just heard your name my name yeah come on anyone could see right through it the way she's been playing you trying to make you think she's still in love with you just so you would stay and nothing would happen to these precious dogs she wasn't playing me let's see it worked how bad the last time I saw Christy this worked up was when that five year old crashed her live shot she threw an ice cream cone at him I don't know what we're gonna do oh you you're on what do you mean I'm on we're going live unless you want to go deal with that now I don't you what no you're cute here do it for the dogs okay you're already holding one you're a vet right yeah just look at the camera smile you'll be fine and in five four your life hi everyone I'm Carly I'm a veterinarian who volunteers at the Forever Friends shelter Christi and Dan are currently predisposed with some other dog business she doesn't even like that dog I'm sorry that dog you're so in love with it hates everyone Carly adores Beasley please nobody adores Beasley Carly's just telling you what you want to hear look she comes back after all these years expects you to drop everything for her who's manipulating who hmm [Music] hey listen we just wanted to thank everyone for making this such a successful event and for you folks at home you better hurry up and get down here before your potential forever friend gets messed up by someone else I thought we were a team what is she doing it's live anyway there's still one very special dog that hasn't found someone to love yet her name is Beasley see dogs are special all the animals are special but there's just something about the unconditional love of a dog that makes the world a better place and they're a lot like us some are tall some are short some are less friendly than others [Music] and some are more trusting caring like us they just want to be loved just want someone to come home to you to know that they have someone who will greet them to know that they have a friend sometimes they actually do wish that things turned out differently despite what they may have said or barked and the thing about Beasley here is that she's independent and I think sometimes she worries that she'll lose that so she tends to withdraw and close herself off but she only does it because she's scared she's scared that all those things that I just talked about that she wants to just like everybody else but she'll never have them I don't think that she needs to be afraid anymore because her path brought her here so this exact moment and there's nowhere else she'd rather be those of you who know Dan the dog man know what he says but we don't choose the dog the dog chooses us see I got up here today to help find this girl a new home but truth is I can't do that because Easley chose Diane she really wants him to stay because she loves him [Music] say goodbye by and we're clear oh my gosh that was so good really maybe the job does belong with you and Carly yeah she does goodbye Dan goodbye Christine good luck in New York [Music] hi please stuck out in New York I'm not going to I wouldn't do that to be Slee I wouldn't do that to you Carly I love you I always have I always will [Music] Kate Mitchell is a

when she was a little girl she got bit I just think that's an excuse you know I wonder sometimes whether she just doesn't like that I get more attention with dogs than her jealous of the rescue

Gilbert I am it's really nice to meet you nice to meet you too and thank you Dan it wouldn't be fair if someone else got their hopes up for this one well I know a good match when I see one excuse me everyone I have an announcement to make a surprise for the man I love Dan the dog man here we go I know I have been totally wrapped up in my new job and I'm sorry for that but yesterday I called the network and told them I needed a big favor and I am proud to announce that you dan Landis will be the New York Regional Executive Director for the National Dog Rescue Association what yes right in the heart of New York everything you're doing here but on an entirely different level are you soon yes of course I'm serious I don't know what to say how about thank you thank you I knew you'd be happy yeah yeah definitely I'm gonna go get out of this makeup looks like another celebration is in order okay [Music] I honestly can say I didn't see that coming here that's kind of surprises huh yeah congratulations you deserve it Thanks sure well I guess that's that then my daddy ever credit her timing is impeccable hmm I know I go on and on about the shelter but he's my brother and I kind of like having him there I got used to it so you're just giving up yeah I mean Dan just let his dream job our little plan backfired we have the white flag I'm not have an idea talk to me only problem is I still have feelings for Dan or is it simply a transference of memories there you do think that again we have to understand something Michelle we don't remember past relationships based on fact who remember them based on feelings you know just grasp onto something that can never be recreated and by romanticizing certain experiences we simply make our present fulfillment why I've seen worse than it actually is come again have to make sure that I've done the right thing very fine we have less than a week what's your plan okay so Dan's main concern about leaving is the welfare of the dogs right right seems to be a case so what if we have an adoption fair I mean forget about adopting one dog what do we find homes for all of them for Dan leaves that's great the dogs yay but what about you and down and keeping him here I mean that's just gonna make him happy that easily well not necessarily I mean if it'll make him realize what wonderful work he's doing here and you know what I've been walking away from the chance to spend some more time together really use some more time uh-huh dick events down for you both I see there we go just keep an eye on him you'll be okay [Music] [Music] you didn't steal him did you why stole him actually I thought maybe you might like to take him for a walk on your own property give me a chance to see if he likes it here or not before he makes his decision good idea I'll be right with you [Music] you think Prince would like it here I think he'd love it you know if I did adopt him you could come and visited many time oh well I mean we got to do what's right for the dog you know your flowers are so beautiful did you plan all these yourself it's become somewhat of a hobby you decided to retire you're gonna need a hobby not if Carly's more than capable my patience will be in good hands you know she is so lovely and it's just a shame that Dan's moving away because the two of them are in love they seem to be the only two they don't know it I think they do they just don't know how to say I hope they figure it out shame if they don't [Music] I think it's perfect you think we can get it organized in a week we can do it yeah we can do it was just um you know pass out some flyers hang out some posters and you know we'll make it an event what are we gonna hold it well it shouldn't be here it should be someplace people would normally take their dogs right how about long late work you know we could set up a walking area do a meet and greet have some fun we could do an interview room I love it great oh and I thought a banner that says countdown to love just to remind people that dogs are more than just pets oh hey bees you doing okay huh countdown the love yeah let's just call it what it is okay yeah let's do it [Music] Hey I just really want you to know I really appreciate everything you're doing and shoot sorry hey what's up because if I'm gonna work for them I'm here okay yeah sure see you soon I'm gonna have to catch up with you I gotta go help Christy pack yeah I gotta give Beasley another checkup anyway it's just so amazing how she has taken to you yeah she just needed a little more time it's amazing how much she loves dogs I mean she's a real dog person what I'm just saying right we'll see you there so I've got all the shelter volunteers on board with helping with the event local media is gonna promote it and they are eating up hand on the love idea it's great what next banners so I'm gonna head to the local print shop oh and tomorrow we have to work on getting all these critters cleaned up so can you get some supplies for that I'm already on it great I'll see you tomorrow Forever Friends rescue shelter Michelle speaking [Music] Oh Carly Oh ha hey miss Gilbert Rita came over to discuss Prince Oh Mina we were just talking I'm just talking about discussing French clearly come sit down actually we made a decision about Perez and who gets to adopt him dan seems to think he likes both of us equally I see and after careful consideration we decided that we would we both actually like to spend a lot more time with him actually but as much time as possible okay and the only logical way to do that is if we both adopted very logical yeah which means we would be spending a lot of time together well I think that's great you do really yeah of course I did why I know you both deserve a friend well it's mostly about Prince definitely and it's very noble oh by the way you know I saw a cute little apartment were very happy just down the street okay I'll look into it I think okay you don't think this is moving a little fast to you for prints well in our age we have to move fast well have a good night [Music] so you know I just so close with my grandfather and I just thought that it made sense for me to want to become a better team you know ya know it's been so good today too [Music] got em clean nobody likes a smelly dog do they [Music] no I was thinking mm-hmm Beasley here and you know that I'm a good matchmaker oh yeah the best a legend what are they calling in these parts the canine connect well that's one of them anyhow I was thinking that I should adopt Beasley well actually that Beasley should adopt you but yeah right you're the only other person that she trusts and I'm not holding onto a lot of hope that that's gonna change after the adoption fair I'm just really worried about what's gonna happen to her after I leave Beasley he's great but she belongs with you yeah it's not negotiable it's pretty amazing to me how you can be so good at matching dogs to people and even people to other people what do you mean my grandfather hasn't been this happy in years very cleverly done by the way it was a layup yeah but still you did that and you do it every day but somehow you really have no talent for matching yourself to others do you you know every discussion we have is about my choices and my decisions what about you why can't you tell me how you really feel okay don't go to New York that's how I feel no that's what you think I don't you want me to go into New York come on because damn Wow her timing is impeccable so is yours Vickers you two would being a dog-friendly cafe are you having another stroll down memory lane we were just discussing my future in New York how much I'm gonna miss Beasley Beasley yeah easily well thanks to me Beasley will more than likely have a new home by tomorrow I spoke with my station manager they've agreed to do live updates from the adoption fair throughout the day sort of an extension of the Friday friend segment there won't be a single dog left with that kind of exposure and then there will be nothing holding Dan back exactly you know Christie you have an uncanny ability of doing other people favors that somehow managed to serve you more than anyone thank you Dan for having dinner with my parents remember are you coming with me are you yeah yeah and then you just set that to him just like that yep then what happened he seemed really upset really and then what happened nothing clean mean showed up just in time to bail him out you're so close I'm not sorry I can hear you it was so loud what would you say go ahead all right it's no sauce only we had a few more days he almost didn't get into our car and tell him again profess your love to him I can't do that why not because you can't just convince someone to fall in love with you you are so stubborn you don't have to convince him he loves you you know he does know it's it's really it's not too late look he made his choice I saw that today so let's just do the adoption fair tomorrow and then we'll just get on with our lives ice cream ice cream always helps yeah I'm so many flavors right now stock freezer yeah of course you two seem to be hitting it off quite nicely huh Oh Beasley yeah pretty sure she has her heart set on someone else yeah I've been watching watching while not spying that's why I watch I observe I was a teacher it taught me a lot about human nature I used to see these kids they would they'd have crushes on each other but they'd never say anything about it and I think they were too embarrassed but yet they always seem to find some reason to interact like walking the same dog mrs. Gilbert yeah I think I've been playing along quite nicely don't you oh yes very very nicely I mean men are clueless sometimes I mean that in the most loving way it's really quite sweet and then of course there's Dan he's so proud of his matchmaking skills and I don't want him to be disappointed but I did kind of make sure that I was at the shelter of a second time your grandfather came to walk the dog grandpa's kind of hot mrs. Gilbert no seriously stop you know women don't pick up on things the way we do dan that's why I had to play along you know and just to act like I didn't know it was more than Prince he wanted to take a walk with soon you're on dinner of course I am she doesn't realize that don't tell her I don't wanna embarrass her dr. Munro insisting all dog can learn new tricks who says I'm an old dog I'm just so obvious how you two feel about each other just say it your grandfather is telling me everything I need to know without ever saying a word sometimes you need to say where it's mrs. Colburn sometimes you need to hear him this isn't a dress rehearsal it's our life you see that on a pillow or a sign a sign actually look the point is the two of you didn't just find the perfect dog you you found each other seize the day I remember I guess I should be taking my own advice hey you said it not me you want me to tell her how I feel dr. Monroe women they want to hear what's in your heart you don't want her to meet another dog start taking him for a walk no I suppose not so I think we're finished here that's two let's go find Princeton we'll take him for a walk great [Music] did you say I haven't told you how I felt oh yeah oh yeah thank the clue in fingers crossed I'm so happy for them me too no it's funny I I know mrs. Gilbert has more life experience than I do but I think I was able to give her some really good advice yeah me too how big flew in you keep saying that oh [Music] I gotta get bac

how does that even happen am I supposed to observe tear in the time-space continuum clearly but we don't even have anything in common she's still look just as pretentious as she was in high school and the fact that she hates dogs how is that even acceptable to him I mean I just I don't what you're still crushing on my brother aren't you uh-huh your face just turned shades of paint I don't do paint uh-huh really one shave at least I don't care about his well-being well the way you looked at him yesterday you know nothing to do with this ball game and the way he looks at Christine waters has nothing to do with mine we all guys look at Christine at hair Steve a beautiful face so so magical doesn't matter she is moving to a distant galaxy far far away and long distance relationships and distant galaxies never work you and Dan of all people should know that your timing is perfect my timing mm-hmm Michelle I did not move back here to be with Dan we're not in high school anymore like all still in high school doesn't matter you can deny it all you want but there's a reason why you in love got married I've kids all of that why why no it's not like that mm-hmm no dan and I we had something great and then we went off to college life happened you know I think it is I think it's just that I don't want to settle for anything less than how I felt for him and that's that's it that's all that's and the story but all stories that are good deserve a sequel so I am happy with my life do not meddle no I'm not phenomenally you you are a meddler you always meddle I gotta go do you want

the dog yeah I've been saving him ever since yeah every Friday Friday thing that's kind of silly isn't it mm-hmm hey it works the truth is I kind of hate being on television really well I thought it was great you know you're a natural like your girlfriend oh yeah Kristi Wow she lives for it she always has it for it and I guess but you know what she helps raise a lot of money so oh that's really considerate of her since she seems to hate dogs hey it's a pretty strong word when it comes Kristi you haven't changed a bit I take that as a compliment if I were you well it was menses one for for what for plateless why for you didn't she wanted to come damn Kristi great thanks for coming hello everyone hey so sweet of you to do this I mean it's just dinner oh no it's not I mean we could have

Gilbert I am it's really nice to meet you nice to meet you too and thank you Dan it wouldn't be fair if someone else got their hopes up for this one well I know a good match when I see one excuse me everyone I have an announcement to make a surprise for the man I love Dan the dog man here we go I know I have been totally wrapped up in my new job and I'm sorry for that but yesterday I called the network and told them I needed a big favor and I am proud to announce that you dan Landis will be the New York Regional Executive Director for the National Dog Rescue Association what yes right in the heart of New York everything you're doing here but on an entirely different level are you soon yes of course I'm serious I don't know what to say how about thank you thank you I knew you'd be happy yeah yeah definitely I'm gonna go get out of this makeup looks like another celebration is in order okay [Music] I honestly can say I didn't see that coming here that's kind of surprises huh yeah congratulations you deserve it Thanks sure well I guess that's that then my daddy ever credit her timing is impeccable hmm I know I go on and on about the shelter but he's my brother and I kind of like having him there I got used to it so you're just giving up yeah I mean Dan just let his dream job our little plan backfired we have the white flag I'm not have an idea talk to me only problem is I still have feelings for Dan or is it simply a transference of memories there you do think that again we have to understand something Michelle we don't remember past relationships based on fact who remember them based on feelings you know just grasp onto something that can never be recreated and by romanticizing certain experiences we simply make our present fulfillment why I've seen worse than it actually is come again have to make sure that I've done the right thing very fine we have less than a week what's your plan okay so Dan's main concern about leaving is the welfare of the dogs right right seems to be a case so what if we have an adoption fair I mean forget about adopting one dog what do we find homes for all of them for Dan leaves that's great the dogs yay but what about you and down and keeping him here I mean that's just gonna make him happy that easily well not necessarily I mean if it'll make him realize what wonderful work he's doing here and you know what I've been walking away from the chance to spend some more time together really use some more time uh-huh dick events down for you both I see there we go just keep an eye on him you'll be okay [Music] [Music] you didn't steal him did you why stole him actually I thought maybe you might like to take him for a walk on your own property give me a chance to see if he likes it here or not before he makes his decision good idea I'll be right with you [Music] you think Prince would like it here I think he'd love it you know if I did adopt him you could come and visited many time oh well I mean we got to do what's right for the dog you know your flowers are so beautiful did you plan all these yourself it's become somewhat of a hobby you decided to retire you're gonna need a hobby not if Carly's more than capable my patience will be in good hands you know she is so lovely and it's just a shame that Dan's moving away because the two of them are in love they seem to be the only two they don't know it I think they do they just don't know how to say I hope they figure it out shame if they don't [Music] I think it's perfect you think we can get it organized in a week we can do it yeah we can do it was just um you know pass out some flyers hang out some posters and you know we'll make it an event what are we gonna hold it well it shouldn't be here it should be someplace people would normally take their dogs right how about long late work you know we could set up a walking area do a meet and greet have some fun we could do an interview room I love it great oh and I thought a banner that says countdown to love just to remind people that dogs are more than just pets oh hey bees you doing okay huh countdown the love yeah let's just call it what it is okay yeah let's do it [Music] Hey I just really want you to know I really appreciate everything you're doing and shoot sorry hey what's up because if I'm gonna work for them I'm here okay yeah sure see you soon I'm gonna have to catch up with you I gotta go help Christy pack yeah I gotta give Beasley another checkup anyway it's just so amazing how she has taken to you yeah she just needed a little more time it's amazing how much she loves dogs I mean she's a real dog person what I'm just saying right we'll see you there so I've got all the shelter volunteers on board with helping with the event local media is gonna promote it and they are eating up hand on the love idea it's great what next banners so I'm gonna head to the local print shop oh and tomorrow we have to work on getting all these critters cleaned up so can you get some supplies for that I'm already on it great I'll see you tomorrow Forever Friends rescue shelter Michelle speaking [Music] Oh Carly Oh ha hey miss Gilbert Rita came over to discuss Prince Oh Mina we were just talking I'm just talking about discussing French clearly come sit down actually we made a decision about Perez and who gets to adopt him dan seems to think he likes both of us equally I see and after careful consideration we decided that we would we both actually like to spend a lot more time with him actually but as much time as possible okay and the only logical way to do that is if we both adopted very logical yeah which means we would be spending a lot of time together well I think that's great you do really yeah of course I did why I know you both deserve a friend well it's mostly about Prince definitely and it's very noble oh by the way you know I saw a cute little apartment were very happy just down the street okay I'll look into it I think okay you don't think this is moving a little fast to you for prints well in our age we have to move fast well have a good night [Music] so you know I just so close with my grandfather and I just thought that it made sense for me to want to become a better team you know ya know it's been so good today too [Music] got em clean nobody likes a smelly dog do they [Music] no I was thinking mm-hmm Beasley here and you know that I'm a good matchmaker oh yeah the best a legend what are they calling in these parts the canine connect well that's one of them anyhow I was thinking that I should adopt Beasley well actually that Beasley should adopt you but yeah right you're the only other person that she trusts and I'm not holding onto a lot of hope that that's gonna change after the adoption fair I'm just really worried about what's gonna happen to her after I leave Beasley he's great but she belongs with you yeah it's not negotiable it's pretty amazing to me how you can be so good at matching dogs to people and even people to other people what do you mean my grandfather hasn't been this happy in years very cleverly done by the way it was a layup yeah but still you did that and you do it every day but somehow you really have no talent for matching yourself to others do you you know every discussion we have is about my choices and my decisions what about you why can't you tell me how you really feel okay don't go to New York that's how I feel no that's what you think I don't you want me to go into New York come on because damn Wow her timing is impeccable so is yours Vickers you two would being a dog-friendly cafe are you having another stroll down memory lane we were just discussing my future in New York how much I'm gonna miss Beasley Beasley yeah easily well thanks to me Beasley will more than likely have a new home by tomorrow I spoke with my station manager they've agreed to do live updates from the adoption fair throughout the day sort of an extension of the Friday friend segment there won't be a single dog left with that kind of exposure and then there will be nothing holding Dan back exactly you know Christie you have an uncanny ability of doing other people favors that somehow managed to serve you more than anyone thank you Dan for having dinner with my parents remember are you coming with me are you yeah yeah and then you just set that to him just like that yep then what happened he seemed really upset really and then what happened nothing clean mean showed up just in time to bail him out you're so close I'm not sorry I can hear you it was so loud what would you say go ahead all right it's no sauce only we had a few more days he almost didn't get into our car and tell him again profess your love to him I can't do that why not because you can't just convince someone to fall in love with you you are so stubborn you don't have to convince him he loves you you know he does know it's it's really it's not too late look he made his choice I saw that today so let's just do the adoption fair tomorrow and then we'll just get on with our lives ice cream ice cream always helps yeah I'm so many flavors right now stock freezer yeah of course you two seem to be hitting it off quite nicely huh Oh Beasley yeah pretty sure she has her heart set on someone else yeah I've been watching watching while not spying that's why I watch I observe I was a teacher it taught me a lot about human nature I used to see these kids they would they'd have crushes on each other but they'd never say anything about it and I think they were too embarrassed but yet they always seem to find some reason to interact like walking the same dog mrs. Gilbert yeah I think I've been playing along quite nicely don't you oh yes very very nicely I mean men are clueless sometimes I mean that in the most loving way it's really quite sweet and then of course there's Dan he's so proud of his matchmaking skills and I don't want him to be disappointed but I did kind of make sure that I was at the shelter of a second time your grandfather came to walk the dog grandpa's kind of hot mrs. Gilbert no seriously stop you know women don't pick up on things the way we do dan that's why I had to play along you know and just to act like I didn't know it was more than Prince he wanted to take a walk with soon you're on dinner of course I am she doesn't realize that don't tell her I don't wanna embarrass her dr. Munro insisting all dog can learn new tricks who says I'm an old dog I'm just so obvious how you two feel about each other just say it your grandfather is telling me everything I need to know without ever saying a word sometimes you need to say where it's mrs. Colburn sometimes you need to hear him this isn't a dress rehearsal it's our life you see that on a pillow or a sign a sign actually look the point is the two of you didn't just find the perfect dog you you found each other seize the day I remember I guess I should be taking my own advice hey you said it not me you want me to tell her how I feel dr. Monroe women they want to hear what's in your heart you don't want her to meet another dog start taking him for a walk no I suppose not so I think we're finished here that's two let's go find Princeton we'll take him for a walk great [Music] did you say I haven't told you how I felt oh yeah oh yeah thank the clue in fingers crossed I'm so happy for them me too no it's funny I I know mrs. Gilbert has more life experience than I do but I think I was able to give her some really good advice yeah me too how big flew in you keep saying that oh [Music] I gotta get back
