Only we know what it is like to have the "Is that a pony" question asked over and over and over and .... This will be a group where you won't have to hear that question (or any mention of saddles).

Hi fellow Dog Lovers! I started this group because I thought it would be awesome to get dogs an their owners together in a fun social setting.
