Meet Leroy

(Las Cruces, NM) We took Monday and Tuesday pretty easy. Sparkie and Slugger got to take one of our favorite hikes in this area while Boogie got to work on his agility skills.

As you know, they have a lot of border terriers here. Tuesday afternoon we got to meet a new one. His name is Leroy. Is he cute or what?



Harriet came over late Tuesday afternoon to groom Boogie for us. They put him up on this grooming table and got him all hooked up. I think he knew it wasn't play time! He got this sad little look on his face. But overall, he was a very good little boy.



Harriet worked and worked and worked. During this time we had a great conversation and learned a lot. We are so lucky to have gotten a puppy from Meg and Harriet. Besides knowing what they are doing, they are both the nicest people you could ever hope to meet.

After Harriet had worked on Boogie for a while, it started to look like there was more dog on the ground than on the table.



About two hours after the grooming started they presented us with the new Boogie. I'm telling you, if we hadn't been right there watching we wouldn't have believed that the dog they presented to us was indeed Boogie.

In fact, he looks so different, we now call him Leroy. Tee Hee. He used to feel so wirey. Now he feels like the softest little teddy bear you've ever felt. But he looks so old. He looks so different. Mike and I both are sure that if we hadn't seen Boogie go up on that table and we hadn't have been out of sight for one second, we wouldn't believe they gave us the same dog back.

Meg was really nice and made all of us a scrumptious spaghetti dinner. While we ate, Boogie and Mimi had a great time alternating between begging and playing. When it was time to leave I couldn't find Boogie. Oh yeah, that's right, I now own Leroy...not Boogie.
