R.O.A.R. Squad: Peggy and her dog, Kelly
Welcome guys!

The Human: Peggy Frezon
The Pup: 9 year old Kelly, a long haired dachshund/cocker spaniel mix
About Peggy: I love to write about dogs. I’m lucky I get to write for publications such as Guideposts magazine, Chicken Soup for the Soul, etc. Kelly inspires so many of my stories, like the time she chased after ducks in the lake and we had to rescue her in a rowboat. She also inspires me when I’m working, because she reminds me to get up from my desk and take a break, and to get outside and take her on a walk and get some exercise (check out Peggy’s blog at Peggy’s Pet Place and her website).
Full Nest: When faced with the empty nest at home, I decided to fill it with a rescue pup!
They Make a Great Team: Kelly and I joined forces to motivate each other to lose weight. I lost 40 lbs and she lost 6lbs! Kelly likes to perch on narrow ledges and the back of the sofa like a cat. When I’m sitting on the couch, she’ll jump up and perch on the back and curl around my neck like a scarf. (A big hairy scarf!)
Where: New York

Kelly is such a beautiful, unique-looking pooch. I love that you motivate one another.
Woohoo! Another New Yorker makes the list, and one that I’ve met in real life! Congrats, Peggy!
Haha Big Carl likes to perch on the sofa as well but since he is small it feels more like he is a parrot than a scarf
Thank you so much for having me! And Happy Labor Day weekend everyone!
@Peggy- Thank you so much for taking part and a WONDERFUL long weekend to you too!
Ooh, two of my favorite pet bloggers in one place! Lovely to see you and Kelly here, Penny. So glad you chose to feature them, Shauna.
I love what you’re doing … I love it even more when I see people I know on your ROAR Squad. Hi Peggy – Hi Kelly!! Can you see me waving at you guys (um, girls)?!
