Pet of the Month - Baxter
This month's VPNA Pet of the Month is Baxter! Baxter will be receiving free passes to Barking Hound Village from our neighbors, Lisa & Jeremy Jones, who have lived in Vickery Place for 16 years.
Meet Baxter Kirkland; resident of Vickery Place for 15 years, his family 20. Many of you have returned this clever escape artist who has mastered the art of slipping through gates, squeezing under fences, and somehow materializing on the wrong side of supposedly secure barriers – all while maintaining an air of complete innocence. But don't let his Houdini-like tendencies fool you; Baxter takes his role as the family watchdog seriously, alerting us to delivery trucks, squirrels, and suspicious leaves that dares to enter his territory. His weaknesses? An undeniable obsession with treats and an insatiable need for cuddles. To celebrate Baxter, his family would like to invite you over for a Doggy Hour Wednesday August 13 from 4:30-6:30. Refreshments for humans, treats for our four-legged friends will be available. Please text RSVP to 214-477-7820. 5310 Vickery.
If you see him around the neighborhood, be sure to say hi and congratulate him on winning August Pet of the Month!!
