More Potter

I'm Ron
And I'm Harry
So these are our newest fosters:  Ron and Harry.  They come to us from a family who had a female dachshund who was impregnated by a beagle.  The boys immediately went to the vet when they came into the rescue.  Both were infested with fleas so they received their first set of immunizations and were treated for fleas.  For those who have read Harry Potter you'll recall Harry had the mark of The Dark Lord on his forehead.  Well, our Harry carries the mark of flea infestation on his ear instead.  He has a few patches of skin that we're caring for but other than that, he's in fine shape.  Just as in the book, Harry is a bit smaller than Ron and a bit quieter too.  Ron is a big, lovable guy who loves to hang with Harry.  Instead of Quidditch (a thrilling game in Harry Potter), they play Who Can Get Mr. Tigerpants.  It's a thrilling game too, although not at the same level of personal risk as Quidditch. 

Harry Potter



Well it's been a while since I've written.  Lot's of things going on in life and of course, new pups.  We've fostered three pups since Lulu's:  Magic, Fred and George.  All three have gone to their forever homes but I need to share their pictures just so you can see what beautiful pups they are.  All have become family members of the most wonderful homes.  Magic (black dachshund mix) has gone to a woman here in Nashville who has just relocated from Texas.  Fred and George (the long hair reds; Fred with a red collar) live a bit further away (George in Memphis and Fred in Raleigh, North Carolina).  I'm going to post their pics before I go pick up the kids from school then I'll tell you about our newest guys:  Harry and Ron.  Anybody read Harry Potter lately?  My daughter is obsessed and has read the books over the summer and continues to read them every day.  I'm sure we'll have a Hermione, Dumbledore and Snape in the next batch.   I'll tell you about Ron and Harry in the next blog post.
