A volunteer writes:   One potato, two potato, three potato, MORE.  And more is exactly what you get with our little sweet Potato.   She has more love, more wiggles, more tail wags per ounce than the average pup.   A tiny little thing, Potato is eager to be leashed and explore the world with a wagging tail and little bunny hops of happiness as we walk.   Likely housetrained, after all that was taken care of, we bunny hop our way to the park where Potato greets everyone with a smile.  We hunker down, Potato stretching out froggy style, sliding into my lap for some kisses, and as she watches the world go by, one ear up, one ear down, her little face records everything she sees. Potato seems to love other dogs, wanting to meet all we see, and in her first playgroup play bows to the greeter dog and bounces around the pen. A lap dog, a cuddler, a chill and sweet little girl who needs some fattening up and is ready to love you to the moon and back, Potato invites you to stop by and meet her today and I guarantee you won’t want to leave without her.
