Rita, age 2

Hi, y’all. Rita here! I’m a 2-year-old Irish Doodle, equal parts spunky and sweet. My favorite activities include squirrel hunting, morning walks and playing with my best friend Gracie on Pemberton. I like to unwind after a long day by bird watching from our backyard chaise lounge. I’ll pose pretty for the camera when treats are involved. Beef jerky from Prasek’s Hillje Smokehouse is ideal, but obviously I’ll take what I can get. I also love running wild at the ranch, but sometimes my human makes me wear silly shoes to protect my paws from sticker burrs. If you ever see me strutting through the ’hood, be sure to stop and say hello! I love making new friends. I’ll try really hard not to jump on you. You can also follow my adventures on Instagram: @ritatheirishdoodle.
