We enjoy Paw Patrol in our house. Rocky is my favorite pup, by the way. The show is fun and the pups are cute. Well, they are getting another pup on the team. This new pup is a girl pup and she is a Husky named Everest. I’ve seen a couple photos of her but I’d love to see people’s ideas on what she will look like.
