Potter



Yesterday we had to hand our cuddly Potter into the capable hands of Christina C. (who brought him to our family) to find him a new family.

He is an awesome, loving, energetic young dog (still technically a puppy) - who loves everyone, unfortunatly that is the problem. Unlike the other dogs (who run away) he constantly wanted to be around Sydney (and she hung all over him). 99% of the time that is fine but when he finally tires of all the "love" he is right in Syd's face. Saturday evening syd got nipped because she had him in a headlock "hug". Potter would be horrified if he realized how seriously he could have hurt her. And Syd would feel bad if she knew her pestering him had led to him going away. We feel terrible for not keeping them apart more, they were so cute together that it was easy to not make her "respect" him. The two of them just love each other too much!

We love Potter so much and he will leave a huge hole in our family. We are hoping he will get a frisbee family , as his training was REALLY starting to come along -- and he loves to play. We just want him to get tons and tons of love and fun. He is such a lover and impacted us so much in a short time.

This has been very difficult for us and we will miss him so much.

Oh, Sad! That'd be great if he had another frisbee home, and then you could still see him at the competitions!
