Lucy's Trick

Here is our dog Lucy showing off with one of her many tricks.

Wake Forest Christmas Parade

Last Saturday, we were in the Wake Forest, NC Christmas Parade on the Franklin County Humane Society float. Jeremy wore a dog costume and did a great job waving to the crowd. The kids really loved him. Jeremy, Margaret, and I rode in the back of the truck that pulled the float. Miranda rode on the float with some other people and several real dogs. Here are some pictures:

Also, I wore a very interesting Christmas hat. I had alot of fun with it. For some reason, Margaret, Jeremy, and Miranda all wanted me to upload this video:

Youngsville Christmas Parade 2008

This morning, our family rode in the Youngsville Christmas Parade. We rode in the float for the Franklin County Humane Society. The other family that rode with us was the family that fostered Lucy before we adopted her. It was nice to meet them again. Miranda dressed as a cat, and did a good job waving and acting like a cat! Here are some pictures of the parade from the vantage point of our float:

Finding a home for Toby

We've had Toby, our second foster puppy, for almost two weeks. He is very popular! We've had almost twenty applications for him. We started taking him on home visits last night, and hope to take him to meet another family on Saturday. Here are a few new pictures of Toby:

More Pics of Toby

A few days ago Miranda and I visited Toby - our soon to be foster puppy. We took a few more pictures of him. You can get a better idea of his size from these photos:

We have a new foster puppy?

We will have a new foster puppy in a couple of weeks! A family was evicted, and left the puppy behind. Their 80 year old neighbor found him, but she couldn't take care of him by herself. So, in a couple of weeks, after being quarantined, we'll have a new foster puppy! Right now, he's a cute little fur ball. Apparently, he looks alot like his mother, and she was only about 25 lbs.

But, we had a problem. We couldn't decide what to call him. Jeremy and Miranda suggested Mick, Toby, Max, and Joey. We had to pick a name to put on the Humane Society web site. Miranda and I didn't think he was energetic enough to be a Joey, so we picked Toby.

Here are a couple of pictures of Toby:

Macey has been adopted

Macey, our first foster puppy with the Franklin County Humane Society, was adopted this afternoon. A family adopted Macey and her sister Cassie. We think they are going to enjoy their new family together, but we already miss her! Here are some pictures of Macey (on the right) and Cassie (on the left) with their new family, and a video of Macey.

First Week with Macy (the foster puppy)

Macy, our new foster puppy, arrived last Saturday. She is a miniature greyhound mix. She's cute, lovable, and playful. Our dogs (Lucy and Aggie) have done very well with her, for the most part. Sometimes they get a little jealous. Macy is going to make someone a very good pet. Believe it or not, she sleeps all night, and she's only had a few accidents in the house. If you're interested in adopting her, please let us know or fill out an adoption application at Franklin County Humane Society's website.

We're getting a new (foster) puppy!

Our family decided to become foster parents for the Franklin County Humane Society. A lady from FCHS came to our house last week to interview us to see if we would be a good foster family and to check out our fence. We passed inspection and someone called on Friday to tell us they have a puppy for us. She has to be quarantined for 2 weeks before coming to stay with us. Lucy and Miranda are very excited but Aggie is not so sure why we need another puppy at her house. Here are some photos of our first foster puppy.

Miranda and Lucy playing dress-up

Miranda decided that Lucy may have been jealous of Aggie playing dress-up. So, she decided to dress up Lucy as well. Here are her pictures.

Miranda and Aggie playing dress-up

We have a new appreciation for Aggie. Apparently, while Miranda was supposed to be going to bed a few nights ago, she decided to dress-up Aggie and take pictures. She showed us these pictures the next day. So, I hope you enjoy these as much as we did. We're also very proud of Aggie for not biting Miranda.

Lucy and Aggie

Lucy and Aggie are our dogs. About a year ago we moved out of seminary housing at Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary.

One of the first things we did was rescue Lucy from the Franklin County Humane Society. She is part Border Collie, part something else. She is a great pet, though she is very active and mischievous. A few nights ago she stole an ink pen and started chewing it. Before we could stop her, the floor and her paws were blue. (See the picture of her paws below.)

A few months after we adopted Lucy, we found out about Aggie. We love Scottish Terriers. Aggie is our second. (Our first was named Kelsie.) Miranda wanted a lap dog, but unfortunately Aggie loves to play outside, and doesn't like to be held that much. As you can see from the photos, Miranda holds her anyway. Aggie's ears normally point up, but she doesn't like cameras. So, when the camera comes out, her ears go down.

Enjoy the photos!
