Isaac James & The Half-Bro Pug

Some of you may remember that two pugs reside with my brother, SIL, and baby nephew.
The elder, Rex, is black. He is especially vivacious. The younger, Max (short for Maximus), is the tag-along brother who joins in the fun.

Sometimes in their excitement to see us, Rex and Max unintentionally scratch or slobber an undesirable amount. Today they greeted me by leaping on the couch and tackling me. I hopped up in an attempt to regain the upper hand. It was seemingly hopeless until I was handed this:

the elder wand.

Watch the magic unfold.

Rex catches sight of his opponent.

Expelliarmus!

They keep their distance as the wand is extended.

Confundus!

(Yes, that black blur is Rex atop a dark couch.)

He seems to have backed down...

...but I keep my eye on him.

The light never fully leaves the eyes of this one.

He must continually be reminded who is in charge.

I decide to leave Rex alone and pursue my cutest nephew.

We let down our guard...

...and he sneaks up from behind...

...with a cry of "Rictusempra!"

As I reach for the wand, he manages to pull a tarantallegra as a last attempt.

But he's no match for the elder wand.

Some freebies of Isaac, because he's so riddikulus-ly cute! :D
