The red king arrives

Not sure why, but for a long while we’ve wanted to get a new puppy. For years we’d been saying we wanted a Chocolate Lab. So look what we got instead: a “Labradoodle.” That’s a cross between a labrador and a poodle. We found this little guy on the internet, at a place called Rainbow Farm in Missouri. The lady there rescues dogs and cats. This fine fellow came from a puppy mill. They were going to put him down because he came out red, rather than the chocolate color most buyers prefer. Fortunately, he was saved.

Now he’s here with us, safe and sound. We decided to call him Rory, which means “red king” in Gaelic.
