GYPSY
by Rod Spooner
I’m a five-year-old purebred “Bengal” who has been given the name “Gypsy,” but I’ve also been called many other unprintable names as a result of my bad habit of breaking, destroying and shredding. I’m beautiful and I know it, which is partly why I get away with the havoc I create. Another interest is running from window to window rattling the blinds at night, affording my owners a few hours’ sleep at best. If I’m lucky, I get taken for a stroll so I can put the dogs in their place.
SCOUT
by Em McCormick
I’m Scout, an Aussie Shepherd, and like a true shepherd I am a busy, busy girl. You may have seen me at some of my favourite hangouts, herding the waves (difficult task) at Island View Beach, keeping my people on task while running at Elk Lake (way easier), or showing off my frisbee catching skills at Iroquois Park in Sidney. Yep, I get around with a happy heart and a smile on my face.
DEXTER
by Alan Kendrick
My name is Dexter. My brother Santana and I have been together for 20 years. We had to move last month, and temporarily we got to stay at our nice neighbour’s farm. We received much love and mom came every day. The only thing is we were in a pony stall, so every day when mom drove in, we would take turns sticking our head out of the little pony window and make faces at her!
