(I’ve cleared this with the mods ahead of time.) As I described in [this thread](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=304636), my wife picked up a stray dog on the interstate a few months ago. We named her Zasu and found her a home, but there was a hitch; she had heartworms and was pregnant, so we had to keep her while she got treatment and had her puppies. She gave birth to two beautiful little puppies on April 15, and now they’re old enough to go to homes of their own. They’re in perfect health, and they’re here in Memphis; if any Doper wants a puppy (or two!), we’ll drive a few hours to meet you halfway, if necessary. We call the boy (the white one) “Brian” after the dog on _Family Guy_, and the girl (the black one) “Greta” after Garbo because she’s a recluse. Photos: [Brian playing with a ball](http://sadpunk.org/daily/050524/brian.jpg) [Greta looking sweet](http://sadpunk.org/daily/050524/greta.jpg) [Brother and sister getting sleepy](http://sadpunk.org/daily/050524/sleepy.jpg) [Playing around](http://sadpunk.org/daily/050524/pair.jpg) They’ve got distinct and obvious personalities. Brian is outgoing and feisty, while Greta is quiet and snuggly. If you’ve got questions, I’ll answer them. If you want more photos, we have approximately nineteen billion. PUPPIES! ---

I WANNA PUPPY!!! Oh my Og, those are two of the cutest little puppies ever. Unfortunately, I’m not _quite_ ready to get a puppy just yet. I’m sure you’ll have no problem finding homes for the little sweeties, though. ---

Oh God, they’re adorable! WANT! Unfortunately, we’re not allowed pets in our flat. And we both work full-time. And we’re in England. But other than that, WANT! ---

Greta looks so sweet! I wish I could take her, but I can’t, hubby won’t let me have any more animals. ☹ ---

What mix do you think they are? Part says, some kind of shepard. The rest looks suspisciously beagle like. :dubious: What does mom look like? They are adorable. ---

The mom pic is in the other thread linked at the top. I think it’s part german shehard and either beagle or collie or something small . . . ---

I am so glad I do not live near you or I would swing by, you know, just to see them, and the next thing you know I would be loading a 100 pound bag of Kibbles 'n Bits in the trunk on the way home… ---

OK, here’s a few more pictures: [Doggie gallery](http://sadpunk.org/Dogs/index.html) And for the heck of it, here’s a short [Quicktime movie](http://sadpunk.org/video/puppies_lo.mov) (2.4 MB) of the puppies. A few weeks later, they’re about twice as big now as they were in the movie. ---

I would agree they’re at least part beagle; we’ve got a beagle mix who only occasionally shows her true colors–she doesn’t bark, she _howls_. In the middle of the night, no less. ☹ Lovely, lovely puppies! I hope you find a good home for them. ---

**Shirley Ujest** , I couldn’t even speculate as to the breeds. Brian has short hair, and Greta’s getting a little shaggy. Brian does look sorta Beagle-ish. Their mama is about 20 pounds, skinny and hyper. (She’s gone to a home that has two small children, which will be perfect for her.) I’m thinking these dogs have such a broad genetic mix in them that they’re just some kind of Basic Dog. ---

They are way too cute. My next-door neighbors are talking about getting another dog. Halfway between Memphis and Philly would be … ? 😃 ---

Brian is the spitting image of our first family dog Whizzer. Bestest, most smart dog ever. I don’t know what breeds he was, but the growing into his paws rule worked. You’re going to find owners in no time, with two such cuties. It is indeed a good thing you’re way over there-- must resist puppies! ---

Oh, they’re adorable- I want one! However, my dog would kill me. She likes being the Princessa of the household. They’re so loveable, though! ---

I want beagle puppies so badly!! Damn being a poor college student and being about six hours away. ☹ [sub]I know, I know, they’re a mix, but they’re close enough to beagle for me.[/sub] ---

That video is one of the sweetest cutest things ever. I love the scenes with mom playing with her pups. I think they are little young to be leaving, though . . . they’re only 5.5 weeks . . . are you going to keep them a while longer yet? ---

Aww, they’re so cute! I would adopt one, but I’m going off to college in the fall and my mom refuses to take care of any more pets while I’m away. ☹ ---

Oh, they’re so adorable! If I lived anywhere near Memphis, I wouldn’t be able to control myself, and you’d have a very willing adopter. However, I’m currently in NJ, and my parents would so not be okay with me stealing their car, driving to Memphis, and coming home with two more dogs, which they’d get stuck with when I went back to school. They’re absolutely adorable, though. ---

Bro, I’d use this as an excuse to get you to come to Atlanta, but the sad truth is that it wouldn’t be fair to the pup for me to take him until I get out of school. I don’t suppose you and sis have a layaway program? _grin_ [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/anybody-want-a-puppy-with-pictures/305310.md?page=2)
