Update to my earlier post. My pointer went to the big biscuit bakery in the sky about 10 months ago. I finally felt like I could handle having a new pup in my life so like the bumper sticker says "who rescued who?" I've added this coon hound to the Dr Transport line of puppies who have stolen my crusty old heart.

Sadly my sweet dog in my first post died a few months ago from an aggressive liver cancer. That was so brutal (then my cat got cancer and died...). We miss her dearly, but are moving forward. :cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry:

A couple weeks ago we adopted siblings!

Say hello to Jax (lighter male) and Hazel (darker female). Jax is super shy but Hazel is super out going.
