The dog trainer M thought it was time for Meera to be socialized so she could learn her manners when around other dogs. She recommended enrolling Meera in a puppy class or communal walks. A lady, five houses away, offers all kinds of dog related services - walking, boarding, and play-dates -- so M, Meera and I walked over. In the backyard, were seven dogs various shapes and sizes -- a German Shepard, shih-tzu, Schnauzer, Golden Retriever, and a few others -- all very well behaved. There was no barking, only playing. Intially nervous, Meera warmed up and had good time. I loved the experience, thought H was a stellar alpha, and am enrolling Meera for group walks or play-dates twice a week.

On the way home, M said most of Meera's new mates were celebrity dogs belonging to the likes of Meg Ryan and Jake Gyllenhaal. Convenient I thought, every business in this town touts the celeb factor. How do I prove that Atticus,the german shephard, was really who M said he was. I was able to confirm his celeb status on celebritydogblog.com  (what did you expect, this is LA).

The next day, Vur and I took Baby M to Laurel Canyon Park. She had a ball.  There were 20 litte guys in the small dog area.  There too, we met a few celeb doggies. Can't name names, but trust me.

If you told me a few years ago a) you'll be a dog owner b) your dog will have celebrity dog friends, I would have laughed in your face.
