Hill Pet of the Week: Meeko

Meet Meeko, the Hill Pet of the Week. He’s a 3-month-old toy Papillon who loves fall leaves and is “suffering from big dog syndrome.” Here’s what else his owner, Chelsea, said about him:

He is a fearless little man. Gives kisses for days and learned very early on it’s better to kiss the small kids, for they always have leftovers on their faces! Meeko already has formed an awesome sleep schedule. He’s usually falling asleep standing by 8:30 p.m. But up bright and early every day around 5:45 a.m. for his morning walk.

He is the purest form of joy. There isn’t a person in the world who could look at him and not smile — from his tiny little paws to his cute bandit face. He sure brings a lot of love to our block of the Hill.
