We know how busy the holiday's get and so though we understand why people have dropped out playing it makes us very sad. There's still plenty of time to play though! And so this week we are asking for a freebie from you! We ask that you not only play this round but that you ask a friend to play! Lots of pug hugs and kisses.

We have a new guest host! We're proud to introduce Tyra! 

Tyra, like Tatum before her, is an APARN foster pug. The Scribe will get her a wand and get her sorted in just a few days. What do you think the chances are she will end up in Hufflepuff? If so we really are renaming the house Hufflepugg.
