Did You Know?
Queen Victoria was known for putting jackets and dresses on her pups, causing clothing for dogs to become so popular that fashion houses for just dog clothes started popping up all over Paris. — Fox
It would be easy to assume that Evangeline came to the Lady Morgana only to pick fights. That wasn't true at all. They also had very good biscuits.

This was, he supposed, his penance for having entirely ignored the existence of his family for the past two months. Ever since the fog had descended on Wellingtonshire, Ernest had been more or less living in the Department of Mysteries, making occasional excursions only to find a good multiple-course dinner at Black's or to venture into the fog and investigate some element he hadn't previously considered. All for nought, as it turned out, since it had never occurred to him to venture into the Casino, and apparently that was the key to the entire business.

He was certainly interest in the Casino now, and he'd been spending the majority of his time since his family's return to Hogsmeade last week setting up different sensors and data-recording devices around the premise, to try and pin down the exact nature of the time field that had apparently engulfed the building. Since this was no longer in the territory of a national emergency, however, he was begrudgingly pulling himself away from work long enough to go home every evening, which gave his wife plenty of opportunities for nagging him into things.

Ernest thought pets in general were largely useless. He had never owned an animal; he had children, instead, who had least had the benefit of someday having the potential to develop into interesting human beings, which an animal never would. He supposed he owned an owl (was almost certain that he did), but he had never bothered to name it or grow at all attached. He simply put the mail out for the servants and one of them saw it dispatched via owl. Why an eleven year old girl needed a pet before departing for Hogwarts as a mystery to him, but Rufina had assured him that it was a necessity, and so here they were.

"Well," he said to his daughter, perhaps a minute or less after they had entered the store and already a bit impatient. "Pick one out." There were only three options, anyway, if she was to take a pet to Hogwarts, and Ernest could not imagine there could be much real difference within them. All cats were the same as all other cats, weren't they? And he imagined they would be leaving with a cat; Flora was a girl and would have no interest in a slimy toad, nor did she, as an eleven year old, have any practical use for an owl.
