The Circle of Life in the Old East Village by Shelley Long This past summer was a sad one on our street as we lost three of our long-time four-legged residents. King, a German Shepherd, had lived next door to me for 13 years. Muppy, a pug mix, lived with my other next-door neighbours, and most recently, my neighbours across the street said goodbye to their Cockapoo, Casey. These dogs were all seniors at 14 years old, but even so, they are never with us long enough. The dogs were an integral part of their owners’ lives, and their loss has been mourned by everyone on our street. All three of these dogs have been featured in their own post on @dogsofOEV over the past year so you can find more details about each of them there. On a happier note, we have had a couple of new arrivals on the street who have won us over with their exuberant puppy energy. Tara, a 5 month-old rottweiler, has charmed us with her sweet nature and determination to make friends with everyone. Wilma is a miniature wire haired dachshund whose introduction met with squeals of “OMG she’s so small!” and it was a challenge to get her to stop wiggling for a photo. Tara’s displays of affection can be rather forceful (to her owner’s chagrin) but she’s learning. Welcome to OEV little ones!
