April Pet of the Month – šŸ¾Ā Meet Obi-Wan Kenobi: Our Dog of the Month!Ā šŸŒŸ Ā 

Published April 15, 2024

This month, weā€™re thrilled to shine the spotlight on a furry friend who has captured our hearts ā€“ Obi-Wan Kenobi, the jovial yellow lab whoā€™s almost two years old. 

Obi-Wanā€™s favorite pastime? Engaging in epic battles of tug-a-war with his trusty frisbee, demonstrating his Jedi-like reflexes and strength. When he’s not defending the galaxy, you can find him spreading joy and laughter, playing with his family, and making new friends around the neighborhood.

Happy walking, Obi-Wan! May the force of fun and friendship be with you as you bring smiles to everyone you meet.

Keep an eye out for Obi-Wan Kenobi ā€“ heā€™s not just a hero in a galaxy far, far away, but right here in our Palisades Neighborhood. šŸ•šŸ’«
