Please welcome the two newest Fooleryland characters, as of Tuesday night: Wally and Rilo. As long as Wally (4) and Rilo (3) adjust to their new home (which includes strange new scents like chicken, cat, cow, and wild stuff around the edges), they will be the newest family members here in Fooleryland. I'm pretty confident this is gonna work.
The girls and I drove an hour north on I-5 Tuesday to pick up the dogs from our new friends, Dez and Seth. We were approximately on time, until . . .
we blew a tire on the freeway. In the fast lane. This photo is deceiving because the traffic was fairly constant. That's never happened to me and I was so relieved to be towed to Les Schwab Tires (thank you, J&L Towing) that I happily shelled out over $100 for the new tire and free popcorn. But soon we were back on the road, and at Seth and Dez's cute house -- Wally and Rilo's house.
It was bittersweet, since I know how difficult it has been for them to rehome their beloved beagles, but life doesn't always work according to plan. We hope Wally and Rilo will be happy with us, and we'll certainly keep their first family connected with lots of photos and e-mails. Like these, taken last night:
More beagles to come in semi-regular Wally and Rilo posts!

Congrats! Had I known I could have thrown you a baby shower...I didn't even know you were expecting. AND TWINS?
They are adorable. And you look deliciously happy in these photos.
:)

Gustav wants to know if your dogs are on Facebook. If they are, he'd like you (his Facebook genius) to pencil in some earphones over his profile photo to handle what he perceives to be some pretty irritating barking.
Geese. Can't take 'em out. Can't shoot 'em.
Wait...

I lived around the bend from a Beagle breeder back in Pennsyltucky. It was located on Beagle Run Road. At night, you could hear them howling. It was eerie.
But, I do love beagles.

ha ha ha -- touché, Master boB. ; )

There's going to have to be some adjusting to the howling and barking at night, but I'm sure the dogs will be able to make the adjustment OK.

Thanks Jamie!

Actually, Rick, Wally is only about 22 pounds; Rilo is taller but lighter at 18 or so. They have 1/8 dachshund in them, which makes Wally SHORT and Rilo thin-faced. Rilo is female and she seems to call the shots. Having a lot of fun with them.

Congrats on the new additions! They are cuties.

Wally is hugh...or maybe it's the camera lens. Rollo looks like he's got part imp in him, causing him to want to do alot of 'investigating'.
gotta love free popcorn!
