July Pet of the Month - Freddie
This month's VPNA Pet of the Month is Freddie! Freddie is a very happy boy who loves his tennis ball and playing with all his dog neighbors.
This month's VPNA Pet of the Month is Freddie! Freddie will be receiving free passes to Barking Hound Village from our neighbors, Lisa & Jeremy Jones, who have lived in Vickery Place for 16 years.
"Freddie is an Aussie whose tail wags the whole day long with his whole life focused on one special thing: a bright green tennis ball. Food? Just a distraction. The ball is everything to him! He spends his day in a whirlwind of fury motion, chasing his ball with the endless energy of a comet. His happy spirit lights up the entire yard. Freddie and his owners are unfortunately moving out of the Vickery Place Neighborhood soon. Freddie has a great group of friends who will miss him: Al Capone the French Bulldog, Kora the Aussie, little Stewie (nicknamed Stewpot), and many more. Even though he will miss his buddies, Freddie will be excited for the next adventure. New places, new friends, new games, and, of course, more balls to chase. Every day is a promise of excitement and fun for Freddie. Farewell, Freddie; you will be missed!"
If you see Freddie around the neighborhood, be sure to wish him farewell and congratulate him on winning July Pet of the Month!!
