Beach Drive Blog Pet of the Week has created a fast friendship between two featured pups.  This email is in from Patricia:

"Thanks to Beach Drive Blog the two local Portuguese Water Dogs are now buddies!  We've met a couple of times and they've had so much fun! They recognised the family connection immediately!  Two cute dogs having fun!!!!"

Sumi  and her owner doesn’t live "on" Beach Drive, but has walked it for 2+years from our home near Bar-s.  So we’re in the neighborhood, and have many friends along Beach Drive from our walks.  Here’s a picture of Sumi, my Portuguese Water Dog, Ms. Congeniality!!!  She loves people, and is a major flirt.  She now recognises uniforms of Fed Ex, UPS, USPS and will zero in on them knowing that the odds of a treat are pretty good!

The residents of ‘The Cat House’, Ivy, on the left, and Lily on the right, keep their humans (John and Carol) busy by hiding their toys all over the house.  They especially like to hide them under the couch and watch dad moving it to look underneath.

Cheeto is a 5 month old Portuguese Water Dog. He has just finished puppy kindergarten and will show off his "sit", "lay down", and "shake hands" if you ask him. He loves to run in big loops on the beach and around the house, dig and bark, eat random things (socks, paper, shoes), and play with his people (Clyde and Susan).

Max, who answers to many affectionate names, is doing one of his least favorite activities in this photo: posing in costume.   

Max was adopted by us 3 years ago when he was 7 and I found him on the internet via PetFinder.Com – which is basically Match.Com for pets and prospective owners (I liked his profile). Max had been in the shelter twice and we can’t figure out why as he is such a wonderful cat.  We feel so fortunate that we found him and hope everyone considers adopting a pet from a shelter.

Max has 2 brothers – DoDo and Baba Ghanoush (“Baby”) and together they are called The Boyz….or sometimes The Men In Black..  There is always something going on and Maxwell is the leader of the pack.  Max is a big fan of James Bond movies and eating kibbles.  Like James, Max looks good in a tuxedo and prefers his martinis shaken…not stirred.   Below is a more dignified photo of Max for you to enjoy. Isn’t he handsome?

Do you have a Beach Drive pet who would like to be featured as Pet of the Week?Simply send a photo (jpeg is nice) with your POTW story.

Orson and I bump into Ruby during our walks.  I can confirm that she is one big sweetheart.  But don’t take my word for it, here’s her photo and what her humans have to say about her.

This is Ruby our Bulldog. She’s almost 6 years old but still acts like a puppy. She loves hide and go seek, swimming, obstacle courses (paints a picture doesn’t it) and chasing her rubber chicken . She is working to be a therapy dog and is a huge people lover.  You’ll see her walking with Gail or Jodie along the park many times a day.  Feel free to stop and pet her – she’s very friendly!!

He’s 12 years old, conveniently deaf or blind (when it suits him), skitzo, sweet and lovable…he’s mine. 

Please don’t make me resort to more of my pets…I’d love to feature your Beach Drive pet as Pet of the Week…just send me their photo and bio.
