Boo Radley:
Ever since my parents moved down to Atlanta, I’ve been trying to convince them to get a dog (I’d love to get one of my own, but I can’t afford it and my landlord doesn’t allow pets – boo). So finally after much hemming and hawing, Lar and I took our parents to the Atlanta Pet Rescue last weekend.
That’s where we discovered this little guy. He’s a Shih Tzu mixed in with a few other things, which makes him part Chinese, just like us!
He’s very gentle, not a yapper and has a sweet temperament, so I thought “Boo” Radley was a fitting name. He’s a little rough-looking around the edges because when he was rescued his fur was all matted. Plus, he’s a couple of pounds under weight and he has a slight under bite. I think he’s perfect.

Also, good for y’all and your parents for setting a good example by adopting a rescue, rather than buying a puppy.
