Next week will mark the 9 month ampuversary for our 6-year-old pitbull Phoenix. She continues to exude happiness as she hops through life. We’ve taken her (and our adopted 12-year-old beagle Chloe) numerous times to Eureka’s dog park. We typically stay about 30-40 minutes, and each time Phoenix seems a little friskier–and consequently, more tired when we leave. Mutliple people there have commented on how well she gets around. At home Phoenix continues to be a tail-wagging, face-licking friend who wants to climb up on the laps of two male friends (both dog owners).
