hi janglo-ers! 

i desperately need some doggie friends for my small, very sweet cockapoo (half cocker spaniel, half poodle).  we just made aliyah two weeks ago and every time i take her to gan sacker, she is just so afraid of everything that she just sits on everyone's laps (she's clearly not afraid of humans).  it seems israeli dogs are so different.. all they seem to want to do is sniff her butt and try to hump her.  she's used to having tons of friends and spending hours running and playing at our dog park in the states.  to be honest, i fear that so many changes here are making her a little depressed, and i'd really like to get her some friends.  so what i'm looking for is either an american dog or a very sweet, very mellow dog of any nationality to have some play dates, either in our houses or at the dog park on off hours. 

please email me at Alison_Golub@hotmail.com if you have any ideas or leads!  thanks so much! :)
