Meet the Puggles!

Miss Fiona and Eoghan (pronounced "Owen") are local celebrities. That's because they are the mascots of Phinney Ridge Cabinet Company, and greet customers at the door when they are not sitting in the window. The puggles are half pug and half beagle, and at the recent Greenwood neighborhood art walk were dressed up as cabinet members, you might say.

Business and life partners Lynn Gallob and Timothy Nolan said their dogs are always with them and sleep in their king-sized bed.

"People come in just to see the dogs even if they are not going to get a cabinet," said Gallob. "They come to work every day."

Gallob said that Miss Fiona is one and a half, and a typical playful dog.

"Three year-old Eoghan thinks he's a person," she said. "He stands on his hind legs and walks and spins."

You can visit the puggles at 8003 Greenwood Avenue North.
