PET OF THE WEEK

Our Weekly Pet Posts Will Make You Smile

  • This is Colonel Mustard. My grand-niece got him as a kitten but couldn't keep it where she lives so she gave him to her grandparents. He is 5 yrs old and weighs 18 lbs. If he had a ruff you would think he was a lion cub. He loves to lay in boxes, but his greatest love is visiting the elderly housing near his home. And YES, they love him also. – Jeannine Aucoin, Henniker, NH
  • Cherie is our rescue from Puerto Rico. We adopted her on her 1st birthday in 2019 so she is called a covid rescue pet. She is the most lovable, affectionate, spoiled Dachshund/Jack Russell mix we have ever adopted. – Richard Perreault
  • Hi, this is Mingo a Siamese mix that I adopted from Real Cruzen Cats a rescue that traps and homes feral cats in St. Croix. She loves feather wands and purrs non-stop! Just wanted to mention about peanut butter on bananas as a dog treat to always make sure it doesn’t contain Xylitol which is deadly to dogs – Carol, Exeter NH
  • Shadow, our labradoodle guarding the front door. – Susan Pieper, New Braunfels, TX
  • This is Bridget, a Shih Tzu/poodle mix (I think). We rescued her about a year ago from the Humane Society here in Omaha, NE. She is about 2+ years old. Last December, I lost my husband and she has become a lifesaver for me. We are Best Friends. No matter what room I am in, Bridget is right here beside me. A big plus: She loves to cuddle at night in “our” bed. – Teresa Cavanaugh, Omaha, NE
  • This is Mylie my grandchildren’s 18 yr old Border Collie. The most loving & laid back dog you’ll ever meet. She greets you with a wagging tail & lots of kisses!
  • This is Sasha, my 5-year-old kitty, taking a ride on his catnip sleigh! I adopted him when he was 6 weeks old along with his mom, Sofya, a stray who had 6 kittens only days after being rescued off the street. Sasha and Sofya look exactly alike. Love your column! – Karen McCarthy, Longmeadow, Mass
  • Here is a picture of my classroom assistant: Attie Cat. I am a high school math teacher and Attie Cat is helping me teach from home. – Judi Bookhamer
  • This is our favorite pet. His name is Rosko and he is a 6-year-old Catahoula Leopard dog. He loves to swim and retrieve. He’s very sweet and amazingly smart. – Catherine West, Van Nuys, Ca.
  • This is Otter (Lab, Bernese, Great Pyrenees, and Border Collie mix) on his birthday. He's not a fan of hats. – Amy Tepel, Morrison, CO
  • Please meet Nogard - The Cricket Slayer. Nogard recently passed unexpectedly, but he was an excellent bearded dragon who liked his crickets! Nogard is a family name that goes back to my Great-Great-Great-... just kidding! Nogard is Dragon spelled backward and as Game of Thrones taught those that watched, every dragon needed a proper name, so we added - The Cricket Slayer. RIP Nograd, you were loved and you are missed. – Scott Kempf, Novato, CA
