Gracie Allen Is New Providence-Berkeley Heights' Pet Of The Week

NEW PROVIDENCE/BERKELEY HEIGHTS, NJ — Meet Gracie Allen! She has been chosen as New Providence-Berkeley Heights Patch's Pet Of The Week.

"Gracie Allen is 11 now, but everyone thinks she is a puppy because she is always so happy to see everyone. Even if you go outside for just a few minutes, she greets you all over again with the same enthusiasm.

She is a Poodle/Cocker Spaniel mix. She is not supposed to get up on that chair, but I could not resist letting her stand there while I grabbed my camera. I just love the light and how it shows her curls."
