June has been an exciting month for meeting new furry friends in the neighborhood! Most recently, I met a Yorkie-Dox-Pom named Ralph! Before this, I crossed paths with a Chorkie, a delightful mix of Chihuahua and Yorkie. Later, I had the pleasure of meeting an adorable wire-haired terrier and dachshund mix. Last week I met a Sheepadoodle named Dexter while visiting the Vet. See pics and more below…

Week 1: June be bustin’ out all over and I met Honey the true blonde German Shepherd.

Remember the catchy Sesame Street song about who are the people in your neighborhood. How about the dogs that you meet or the ones that you see in the park, when you’re walking down the street. The different breeds, mutts and mixes. How about the new pups on the block like the labradoodles and the other doodles. Well, move over humans; it's time to meet the real VIPs – the dogs! Pooches strutting down the street, from the majestic purebreds to the eclectic mutts, our neighborhood is a four-legged fiesta. And hold your biscuits, folks—there's oodles of doodles and more taking over the block!
