Recent Additions


Yesterday, I was picking berries in the backyard when Mom said there was a phone call for me, from the vet.
Now, sometimes a dog breeder ends up with a few "imperfect" pups. Often they take these to the vet to be put down. However, the vet might say they'll kill them, but, once the breeder has left, they find owners for the puppies. Such was the case yesterday.
Recently a breeder had dropped off a perfectly healthy beagle puppy. For whatever reason, they wanted it put to sleep. So, the vet called me. After seeing me come in with so many pets, they figured I wouldn't mind another one. With the appropriate parental permission, I accepted the offer of a beagle.
Today I picked him up. He's really friendly and very cute. I named him Peanut. Grizabella and Mistoffoles were wary of him, but Blackie took to him at once. She started licking him and sniffing him like a mother dog. Soon, they were snuggled together.
Peanut is an adorable little guy, and I have a feeling we'll have a lot of fun.
