I’m a rescue dog turned Bark Ranger and I live/work in a park with my two moms! I love to play ball, get belly rubs, and teach people about nature!

Let me introduce myself since I’m new here! I’m Polly Polenta, I have 2 moms, we live in a park and I’m a pawfessional Bark Ranger!
I like teaching people about nature 🍂
Mom M does native plant conservation and ecological restoration and I help her with field work 🌎

I’m the only one I trust to do the most important tasks, so I carry my own ball back from playing!

Look at what I found on my adventure today! An Osage Orange! It’s native to parts of central USA but has spread across a lot of the country. They’re huge and funky and always a fun find!

Moms have had to do lots of repairs on our new house! Turns out the contractor who renovated it for the previous owners did a terrible job and we have to redo a lot of the work. Thankfully Grandpa can fix most of it with Mom D! I’m watching as they fix a shower and am hoping for a treat

I’ve been staring at Mom M and crying all morning and she doesn’t seem to understand why. Can you translate this look for her?

Moms are going to a friendsgiving this evening and have been cooking all morning! I’ve been playing my role as official taste tester! The sweet potato casserole, pumpkin pie, and apple pie all pass the test!

Moms bought me a house with a balcony and a yard! It’s a bittersweet end to an era living in my park but new adventures await me here! I’ll still be working as Mom M’s bark ranger, but only for field trips now!

Moms have been putting all my stuff in boxes and said we’re moving? This calls for an existential crisis!

Another more direct way to help people during the government shutdown is to consider neighbors who are seniors, disabled, unpaid federal workers, etc. Give a neighbor(s) a food basket, ride to food pantry, pet food & supplies, etc. #neighbors #LendAPaw

What’s up there?! One of the best parts of field work is you always find something interesting to sniff!
