Phoebe
Phoebe is a 9-year-old, AKC-registered, black American cocker spaniel. She was born in Chattaroy, Washington, and was 8 weeks old when I brought her home to Richland. She has always had a warm and loving disposition and quiet demeanor, and a face so cute it makes you smile! Phoebe loves people and is especially fond of children.
Sometimes she wags her tail so hard her whole bottom wiggles, so I nicknamed her Phoebe Jeebee Wigglebutt. |

Scout
Scout is a Golden Retriever. She is named for her mom’s favorite character in To Kill A Mockingbird. Her favorite pastimes are fishing and swimming (although she’s never caught a fish yet) Scout hates carrots, but loves cherries and tomatoes. She likes to eat tomatoes right from the vine (even though that makes her mom very mad!)

Jack
Jack is a Golden Retriever. He enjoys going to the library to listen to all his friends read to him. They are such good readers! My mom takes me running in the desert where I get to sniff for jackrabbits, birds, snakes and squirrels. My mom makes sure I stay away from skunks. Whew!
My favorite foods are pumpkin, peas and carrots and pickled asparagus. I do not like lettuce. Elvis, our family cat, lets me lick her bowl clean . I love cat food!

Mazy
Mazy was born in Spokane in June, 2000. Her mom got her from the pound so we do not know exactly what kind of dog she is, but we all love her just the same. She has a big black spot on her back that almost looks like Mickey Mouse's head. Mazy likes broccoli and carrots and loves to chase squirrels.

Hershey
He is a Chocolate Labrador Retriever born March 13, 2010 in Idaho. He weighs about 57 lbs and eats like a horse and runs and runs and runs. He is kind of of spastic and runs into everything and everyone but he just bounces off and keeps on going. He was born with a congenital defect called Cerebellar hypoplasia, which is a disorder found in cats and dogs in which the part of the brain known as the cerebellum (which controls motor functions) is not completely mature at birth. We immediately enrolled him a AKC Star puppy class and he graduated on Aug 8, 2010. He was approved by TDI as a therapy dog on June 21, 2012. We are all so proud of Hershey |
