"A house without either a cat or a dog is the house of a scoundrel." -Portuguese Proverb


Bear is a 3-year-old Newfoundland from Lincoln Park. His favorite activities include: hanging with his brothers Kevin and Gus (felines!), eating cupcakes, chasing squirrels, romping at Wiggley Field and drooling.

I spy... one pup hiding in the snow!


Lola is a 12-year-old Great Pyrenees from Lakeview. She is a rescue pup who loves to romp in the backyard and swim.



To learn more about the breed, check out the Great Pyrenees Rescue of Greater Chicago website.

While on a walk with my new friend Oliver, a Mini-Goldendoodle, we came across two of his long-lost relatives: Oliver (yes, another Oliver!), a Labradoodle, and Jane, a standard Goldendoodle.



Oliver is from Wicker Park.
