Okay, Never Mind

Okay, I've missed blogging and talking to you and telling you stuff so I'm going to try again.
Here's the deal. I really think that proper blogging manners requires responses to the blogs I read. Since I cannot even read some of your blogs, I fear you think me rude because I do not make comments. If you can get past that, so can I.
So here's some news. Duke, our sweet beagle, passed away on April10. We were so sad and very lonely for a dog in our home. I began a mad search for a beagle. I had certain requirements that I won't go into or you'll call me crazy and obsessed and things I've already thought of. Anyway, by the next weekend I had located a little 6 month old male who was to be a show dog but didn't quite make the cut so was up for adoption. We drove the 2 hours to Granbury, picked him up and now he's ours. His name is Atticus Calvin Duke Finch Rex Clyde. Mostly we call him Atticus but sometimes we call him Duke because we get confused and the others are just because we're silly. He's darling and is working on learning all the house rules. He's kind of clumsy and falls off chairs and into the pool sometimes. He's very happy and entertains himself with squeaking toys and running and running and running around the back yard. Then he collapses in our laps as he thinks he's most certainly a lap dog. Anyway, all that to say, he's a little sweetie and maybe someone will help me post pictures of him soon.

You can't have Duke II, the sequel. How about ACDC? That covers many of his names. And let's get a photo up soon. And thanks for FINALLY posting.

Sorry to hear about Duke, but I'm glad you were able to find another puppy.
I love you!

That is so sad about poor Duke. I can't imagine how hard that must be. I'll be praying for you! But I am very glad that you got a new one. I'll bet Daisy would love to go meet a new member of the walker dogs! I hope you can get pictures of Atticus posted!

Hi, Nisey! I was glad for some news about Atticus. I love that name, because it was Gregory Peck's character in "To Kill a Mockingbird", and it sounds cool for a little beagle! Looking forward to meeting him next month, and maybe a photo in the meantime! See you soon.
