Ride with the Moon on Tuesday
The first West End Poodle Party was a smashing success. There were at least 25 poodles, mostly standard but also a few other sizes. We even had a few Doodles. Owners and their Poodles had a great time socializing. Western Farm Center’s Bob Bertolini, every dog’s favorite uncle and owner of two poodles, brought delicious dog ice cream. Linda, also from Western Farm, handed out treats to a very enthusiastic audience. We are hoping to have more Poodle Parties in the future. For more photos Facebook or West End Dog Park Photo Gallery

Kellie from Decker Street reports: One of our West End neighbors was in the Press Democrat today, well his Restaurant was. Luis on Decker Street owns Las Palmas Restaurant which was chosen as one of the best places for Fish Tacos in the County. I found a link: http://www.biteclubeats.com/2010/08/fish-taco-quest.html and the article says: Top Pick: Las Palmas Fish tacos aren’t always on the menu, but when they are, jump. Blackened fish tacos here are all about the fish, and less about the batter. Loaded up with cabbage and a side of beans and rice, it’s a meal and a half. What keeps us coming back to Las Palmas are menu specials like these that go way beyond boring burritos and quesadillas. 415 Santa Rosa Ave., Santa Rosa, (707) 546-3091.
