Zoe is available for walks to the park anytime (and me, too).

It's good that so many take an interest too. We get some interest in our dog, an arctic dog (can't remember name for its kind, and Deb is gone) when we walk her. Yes, nice way to meet people.

I have found that as a mom of young ones, people are so responsive to meeting me and talking with me. I have also found that when I am pregnant (which has been a lot lately!), the same has been true. My sister has experienced the same--doors that people refused to open before (literally) were literally open to her if she had the kids along. Jamie,

While we do not have the former (yet), we met more people in our community the first day we walked our dog than in all the months prior. Great story! Peace, Jamie Yep, it confirms the old missional maxim: The best way to meet your neighbours is with babies and dogs.

NONE are anywhere near the size of our sweet friend, Zoe. I am quite sure I don't know of anyone with a large manicured poodle! But that would be amusing...

You ought to see if you've got a friend with a large, manicured poodle. Repeat your proceedure with that kind of dog on Vermont. I'd pay to see the reactions to that. Most of the neighbors would think you were direction challenged west siders who got off the Santa Monica Fwy about 5 or 6 exits too far east....
