Roo: Maybe we could get another dog.
Annie: No! No, absolutely not! Not in a million billion years. If I get any more wretched dog hair in this house my head will explode! It’s already too crowd
ed in here! It’s impossible. Totally impossible. No! (she throws a nearby plate on the ground to emphasize her point and bolster her argument.)
Roo: (nods) Yeah. So…I guess there is this little corgi dog who was abused and they left him outside for long periods of time and his little ears don’t stand
up because he was abused. I guess he’s really cute and desperate and lonely. And I heard the people who have him now can’t keep him and they might have to send him to the animal shelter where he’ll probably die because no one will want a corgi with allergies and floppy ears.
Annie: (in between sobbing) We’ll take him! Please just let us take him! I don’t care about floppy ears! I love floppy ears…(it went on like this for some time.)
Roo: Good. Cause I told them we would tonight.
So we ended up with Chase—the floppy eared corgi with food allergies and a tiny head. Though our little apartment is more like a zoo than anything else, we love all of our pets!
While Lando can be characterized as stubborn, mischievous,
and demanding, Chase is submissive, sweet, and obedient.
And if you were wondering—No, Chase is not a Star Wars character. His evil original abusive owners named him that. But he is not a puppy anymore, so we didn’t want to upset his unstable world any more by changing his name on him. We’ve just had to come up with a few creative nicknames such as:
CHASE WINDU
(Coined by Jordan)
CHASE OF BASE
CHASE VENTURA: PET
(For those of you who have your concerns, let me reassure you by saying: we plan on having the next addition to our family be of the human variety.)

I think I, Jordan, should get some credit for the Chase Windu idea. However the Chase of Base and Chase Ventura are gold! I love Lando in the Ventura picture!
Whoa, with the pets! Love it. We love our pets, too. Doesn't seem to me that one can have too many of them ...
Chace of Base is a beauty.
We cast our vote for Chase Ventura. He looks strikingly similar to the real guy!
Hahaaa. You guys make me laugh. Chase seems like a cutie. I hate mean abusive people. HATE. We adopted our dog Jack from bad people who hurt him and as a result, he pees when he gets excited or scared. The problem is that he is a happy little guy so excitement comes pretty easy. He's grown pretty accustomed to the constant presence of all my family members but since I only visit my parents once every two weeks or so, my unannounced visits are altogether too much for the little booger and he always jumps up to welcome me... while leaving my legs and feet quite damp.
I love pets.
Oh, I'm so glad you took in the little tyke! I'm with Lizzy on saying there is a special place in the world down under for people who are mean to animals.
Annie the pictures are priceless! I admit that I am looking forward to the next additions to your family.
Hahha. I like Chase Windu the best. Nice photoshopping!
Annie- this is Molly, Nancess sister in law. Oh my goodness- your story about the dog is EXACTLY how I would have felt! My heart melted for the little corgi! He is such a cutie! I'd take him if it wouldnt have worked out for you two :)
