Sekhhmet, from your avatar, you seem to be a cat with a Christmas tree ornament balanced on its head.....Why would you be watching a TV show about a big dog? And Vort....it would be my guess that Scooby was a smart little dog, just like Scrappy. When he was enlarged (as in "Honey, I Shrunk the Kids"), the distance between the cells in his brain was increased to the point of many memories (and speech patterns) were no longer functional. Since his appetite could never be satisfied, Scooby would easily have chosen a larger body, with a larger stomach. Since I still mourn the passing of "Buffy, the Vampire Slayer", they wouldn't have needed to pay me to play opposite Sarah Michelle Gellar - just throw me the occassional scooby-snack.
