Betty White is now a Cougar
Everyone’s favorite Golden Girl is now an honorary Washington State University alumna.

The 89-year-old actress was given an honorary degree and a white doctors coat at the Washington State Veterinary Medical Association’s centennial gala in Yakima earlier this month, according to the Associated Press.

White has long been a donor to WSU because of a friendship with Southern California veterinarian and WSU alumnus Bob Olds. She’s also a friend of the Woodland Park Zoo.

The Associated Press reports that White donned the white coat, then “offered to spay or neuter anyone in the audience.”

Great minds think alike.

So do silly ones.

I'll let you pick which kind of minds you and I both have.

(Be kind.)

8. I heard her interviewed on the radio, and one of the questions was
"Looking back over your career, is there something you'd still like to do that you haven't done?"

"George Clooney."
