Rudy in his birthday suit. Rudy, a poodle rescue and one of the founders of Westgrove Dog Park, celebrated his 10th birthday in June at the Westgrove Pack's "Friday Hot Dog night" wearing the same hat he wore for his first birthday 9 years ago. Humans got home-baked brownies, and dogs got a doggie cake (recipe provided by Cindy Carriker of Villamay). The doggie cake was a huge hit with the four-legged guests.
The enormously popular summer hot dog nights attract attendees come from all over the area (some even from Maryland). A great place for both dogs and people to connect — and an opportunity for users to contribute to the upkeep of the only grass park in the county. Kudos to the Westgrove Pack Board for their hard work! — Mary Tracy
Here is Riley, an 8-year-old Soft-Coated Wheaten Terrier and he loves to play ball and visit with buddies at the dog park. He lives in the Tauxemont section with Maddie, Jonie and Mike Eaton.
This is Snowy — show champion, obedience and Earth Dog champ and champ of our hearts. Recently she passed away at the age of 16.5 years — mom to our other Westies, boss of the house, digger of garden holes, chief cuddler, mud roller, guard dog. We will miss seeing her every day. — Deb Dalton

Chris Dyer and Phoenix are contemplating what is for lunch. Dyer says about Phoenix,
"When I met my wife she already had two sweet cats, they allowed me to be their adopted daddy but I wanted to have a ‘kidden’ to call my own. I was at a turning point in both career and life when I meet my baby girl, by coincidence her given shelter name was Phoenix, the bird of rebirth. Shortly after she came into my life I started my own company, Reborn Fitness, and chose the Phoenix to be a part of the logo."
