GHOUL POWER
Hello, ghouls! I wanted to introduce y’all to the newest Very Good Boy to be welcomed into Ghoulish HQ: Weenie the Pooh!
We picked him up from his foster family yesterday. It’s been a bit of a stressful period of readjustment, but we are optimistic our home will be the perfect place for him to live out the rest of his years. He is 14, mostly deaf, a little blind, and loves to get his laps in around the house. Probably the oldest dog I’ve ever had? He’s so tiny and frail! His barks sound like squeaky toys. Everybody say hi to Weenie the Pooh!
