Adding to our family?


No... not a baby(if only, huh?)more like a fur-baby. I've mentioned our little neighbor dog, Lucy before, right? Well... Lucy's owners have been somewhat neglectful (to put it mildly) and so we've pretty much taken her in. She's been with us about a month now and we've finally managed to fatten her back up so that she no longer looks a day away from starvation-induced death. (Yes, when we took her in she was pretty much emaciated, poor thing) We assume the neighbors know where she is (since she comes over to play often) and just don't give a crud. Sirius and Mini are adjusting well and love having a new little sister to play with. She is a spunky one for sure, and although she is small she has the same Napolean complex as Sirius and thinks she can take on the world! In keeping with our Harry Potter themed pet names, we've nicknamed her "Loony" after Luna Lovegood and since it sounds a lot like "Lucy" she still responds. So now we have all 3 kinds of Rat Terriers: the standard (Sirius), decker (Minerva), and miniature (Loony)!

If there's one thing the Youngs know how to do, it's feed dogs.

Oh that they had potty trained her! You couldn't expect that, could you? Maybe that's why they kept her outside all the time. Oh well.
