Potter. It’s the end of an era.
Y’all loved her for the #potterchristmascreep, but to me, she was my Soul Dog. My first dog. My running buddy. Our adventure dog. No telling how many miles we ran, canoed, and golf-cart cruised with her. And she was a GREAT dog. I swear, you could reason with her and she was smarter than some humans. Like any heeler, she was quirky and weird and obsessive. She liked about 80% of people, and there was no rhyme or reason as to why she might not like you. If you were one of the ones she didn’t like, just know that it wasn’t you, it was her.

She was the self-appointed queen bee and ruled the house. None of the other dogs ever stood a chance getting by with doing anything sneaky as long as PQJ was around; she’d bark endlessly to “tell on them” and alert us of their shenanigans. And sometimes she’d bark endlessly just to let us know another dog had left the room without her permission. 😅

And she had a stomach of iron. The things she ate would have sent most dogs to the ER vet… but not Potter. She made it almost 15 years and somehow only ever had one stomach surgery: she ate a cat toy- swallowed it whole, wires and all. (We have never even had a cat. So.)

She was SO SMART. We knew we had met our match the weekend we brought her home. We put her in one of those five panel playpen things the first time we left her. It took her all of about 5 minutes to figure out how to shimmy herself up and over the side of it. From then on, she was always by my side…She was always up for anything, even if it was just walking to the kitchen with me to get a glass of water. She didn’t want to be left behind. A few years ago, she began to obsessively lick and scratch at my neck. For months. Apparently she could smell my thyroid tumor and was trying to tell me. The last time she did it was the morning I had surgery. Never before and never since. (cont in comments) by @the_gryffindogs

It’s really so sad that Cedar didn’t quite live long enough to make it to this trend… she would have DOMINATED! 😜 But Granger is doing her best to make her proud 🩷💜🫶🏼✨

HVD from the loves of my life. Potter can’t be bothered and, well, Granger doesn’t love anyone as much as she loves her bumper. But still. HVD nonetheless. 💜🩷🫶🏼✨ by @the_gryffindogs

The Queen is 14!! She’s the self-appointed House Prefect of the GryffinDogs and she rules our world. My fave thing about Potter is how she’s always just along for the ride… wherever you are is where she wants to be/ already is. 😅 Happy Birthday, PQJ! taken in Memphis, Tennessee by @the_gryffindogs
