A couple of months ago Bentley the Beast died. And while Claire did appreciate that the men in her family were sad, she wasn't exactly mourning his passing. I think Claire was looking ahead to her life without the cares and worries of a dog. And then, a few days later as the dogs and I were walking up to Claire's door for our morning walk, I see Joe coming out to greet us. Unusual, I think. And then I notice that he has a puppy in his arms. Uh oh. "Ah, Joe?" Joe then tells me The Story, how a woman in a car drives up to him in a parking lot and throws the puppy at him and speeds off. What could he do? Joe brings the puppy home. Well, Claire was able to tell him what he could do, he could find a new home for the puppy. So Joe takes the puppy to work with him the next day with a sign that read:
PUPPY FOR SALE
$5,000.00
Amazingly he had no takers so what could Joe do but bring the the puppy back home?? By this time Joe had named her Chloe and Claire knew there was no hope.
In the passing weeks Claire has become quite fond of Chloe despite herself and Chloe now joins us on our walks. When the dogs & I come to Claire's door in the morning we see Chloe's head bouncing in and out of view (she has a lot of enthusiasm). Our dogs love her, and she is very cute and sweet natured. Kathy thinks that Chloe is a "Pugle," part Pug and part Beagle. So here is what she looks like:
 |
| Chloe acting somewhat calm. |
 |
| Did I mention that she was enthusiastic? |
 |
| Chloe and Cole |
 |
| Chloe attempting to listen to Claire. |
 |
| Again, did I mention enthusiasm? |
 |
| Isn't she cute? |
 |
| See the Pug-like curly tail? |
 |
| The Gang |
 |
| Trying |
 |
| to |
 |
| show |
 |
| her |
 |
| curly tail. |
 |
| There it is!! |
 |
| Our dogs still |
 |
| still grab each other's leashes |
 |
| And run their fuzzy butts |
 |
Home.

P.S. Do you know what happens if you bump heads with a poodle?
