Mike, Zoe, Delilah, and Maxxie.

Mike with Triple Trouble

And last but not least, I wish a hearty farewell to my friends Zoe the lab and Delilah the Catahoula Leopard Dog. They frequently visited Clark Park with Mike and Maxx and me. Zoe moved to New Mexico in September, and Delilah moved elsewhere in Philly. I hope I'll be able to still see her sometimes.

Goodbye and good luck to you both, Zoe and Delilah!

Annie

Annie the French bulldog is a beautiful little girl, who looked particularly good in this sunbeam!

Paulie

Paulie is so damn cute! He's a new client of ours who lives with Annie, who I'll show you next. They are so sweet and we are really glad to meet them and spend time with them. Paulie has a funny haircut but it just makes him cuter.

Timmy of the Trees!

Remember that crazy storm we had in West Philly in March? It knocked down so many trees! Timmy here really lived up to his formal name that day- TIMBER!

Ted Turner

Ted Turner is a super cool cat who lives with a dog named Mama, who hates to be photographed, and a couple other super cool cats.

Jack and a tiny puppy!

Oh man, speaking of the summer, we had a great day at an event in Clark Park this past June. While waiting for Jack to compete in a weight-pulling contest, we (Greg and Maggie and Mike and Nicole and Jarf and I) made friends with an adorable little pittie puppy! I forget his name, but they were from up in North Philly somewhere. Man, that puppy was sweet! Jack obviously liked him too!

Sasha and Princess

Sasha and Princess are part of the group of dogs we call the Golden Girls. Here they are this past summer holding hands!

Molly

This is from the first time I walked Molly!

Luna matches my shoes

Erik at the dog prty

Another pic from the fun we had at Chester Ave Dog Park- Erik would throw two balls at once, and all the dogs would run!

Dog party!

A few weeks ago, we had a great morning at the dog park. Erik brought Jack and Griffin, and I brought Radar and Bunny, and we all had a great time running around.

The P.U.P.S. office holiday party!

This is pretty much the only good photo from our holiday party at my house last week. Griffin was a special guest- he and Maxxie wore holiday bowties!

Griffin, hipstamatized.

This picture of Griffin, one of our favorite fetchers and longest-running clients, was taken with an iPhone app called Hipstamatic. (I hate the name but the pictures are really cool.) The one of Dawg was also taken with it.

Dawgie Dawg!

Dawg, a.k.a. Randy, is one of our newest clients, and she's soooo sweet. She's a red heeler. She's retired from a career in herding out in the southwest!

Clair

Clairbear, chilling on her porch in the summer.

Bolivar on his bed

Dora in the winter!

Charlie and Molly

These are going to go up in pretty random order- this one is from just a couple weeks ago. Molly, a pittie mix, and Charlie, a golden mutt, make a LOT of noise when they play together, but they have become great friends!

Willie in the sun

Hey everybody! Happy holidays and a happy new year! My gift to the world is finally updating the blog!
