Harper Valley P.T.A.

This morning John showed up at the rescue ranch at 9:30 with six dogs! We thought we had rescued ten dogs from the Kerrville pound, but apparently it was eleven! My excuse is, I was never good at math and I’ll find out what John’s excuse is tomorrow. I haven’t had a chance to take pictures of them yet, but with Ben’s help we did get them named early this evening.

The two tan males with white chests are Owen and Luke Wilson. Because, I love Owen Wilson! Owen's the one with the most white on his chest.

I named the Rat Terrier, Pepperoni and his new roommate, a little wannabe Min Pin—Dobie Gillis. If you are old enough to remember Dobie Gillis—don’t worry—you are definitely not a candidate for Alzheimers—you’re just old like me.

In the official Puppy Pen, we have Zelda, the Beagle mix, and we named her sister, Greta Garbo because she has beautiful eyes. We named the two little wiry, reddish-tan girls, Ashley and Mary Kate Olsen. Ashley doesn’t have a tail, but Mary Kate does. Ben named the cute, little black and tan, Minnie Driver.

Lastly, in the pen near our trailer, we have Ginger Rogers who is a beauty queen, and ginger colored. And, lastly we named Ginger's roommate, a gorgeous Great Dane mix, Darla because she looks like a Darla.

Around 11:30, Larry and Karen showed up to adopt Jeanie C. Riley! They had come out a month earlier and told us they wanted to adopt Jeanie, but they couldn’t adopt her until after they got back from their vacation. And, we promised to hold on to her for them.

Karen and Larry drove out several times before going on their vacation to take Jeanie on long car rides and walking expeditions, etc. and she loved it!

While Karen and Larry were cruising the East Coast, Jeanie’s roommate, Roger Miller, was adopted, so we put Jeanie in with Buffalo Gal and Little Lulu, and they all they got along great together. Today, when Jeanie saw Karen and Larry her tail wouldn’t quit wagging! I’m positive that Jeanie knew she would be leaving the rescue ranch for good and never coming back. She was going to her new home at last—to be spoiled rotten—she had been adopted!

P.S. Jeanie’s new home is approximately 30 miles from Harper, Texas.
