Cream Colored Dogs in the Nargle
Gee, it’s been almost a year since the last post. Facebook makes it too easy to post pictures and quick comments. But at the same time, that site lacks the depth and quality of discussion that this site allows, So WE ARE BACK!!!!!!!!!
And here they are—-the dogs of this post’s title. On the left is Beany Bacciagalupe; on the right Anton Chico. They are relaxing in the CSPS Nargle.
Oh, we guess a refresher is needed. The Nargle is our Canine Space Pirate Ship, named after beings that even Luna Lovegood does not know what they are but only that they do exist…….Please refer to your Harry Potter collection. Sorry, that’s all we can say about how the ship got its name. Our parents refer to it as our crate…..
So to refresh your memories:
Left to right, seated in the ship, Emma ‘Roid (captain), Weetz Elva, and Leny the Sharprador (second in command)
Next is Petey Pablo, also called Lobster—old pic, he presently sports an orange collar…
And, rounding out the crew, Dweezil, a rescue found wandering by the nearby railroad tracks.
All of us are rescues. Emma was rescued from an incompetent breeder; Leny was transported from an Ohio kill center to a New Hampshire shelter and adopted when she impressed our dad by running to the back of her cage and coming forth with a tennis ball in her mouth and asking our parents to take her home; Weetz was rescued from the Clovis NM shelter on the last day before she was to be put down; Petey was at the Las Cruces Farmer’s Market being shown by the local shelter and, making eye contact with our mother, convinced her we needed to add him to the crew; Chico was also from the LC shelter, via the Market, lying in a crate with his curly tail in his water dish; Dweezil, as noted above, wandered down the road from the rail bed and found his pack; Beany was spotted standing on his hind legs in the middle of a fairly busy road–he held out his arms to our mother who took him to her knitting group with her and gave him a thorough bath when they returned home.
So now that you, the reader, has been familiarized with the pack, welcome back to our blog and we will endeavor to be more timely with our posts. Feel free to peruse the back issues, so to speak, and we’ll see you soon!!!!!
