Question of the Week: “What pet has been your favorite and why was it so special?” (Asked at the SAVE New Beginnings Ceremony)
Beatrice: “I had a turtle when I was younger. I named it Cocoa and it’s been my favorite pet so far. Cocoa was a yellowbellied turtle. And he used to be in my room but I got sick so I had to let him go at the park. And I still wonder what Mr. Cocoa is doing. I hope he’s very happy.”
Bertha: “My favorite pet is my dog Duke. He’s a Siberian husky and I had always wanted a husky. Duke is almost two years old. When we first got him he was a little bit sick but now he’s a very healthy and happy dog. I love him.

“Well, it’s really always a Golden Retriever. I have had Golden Retrievers since I was 16 and growing up in St. Louis. And then we’ve had them, of course, here in Princeton. So, it’s been a succession of Golden Retrievers. The current one is named Mac and he will be six in February. He’s a wonderful dog. He comes with us on trips to Montana and is very well behaved, even riding cross-country in a small car. Everybody loves him, and he is an absolute icebreaker everywhere we go.”—Lanny Jones with Mac, Princeton
“I love the Portuguese Water Dogs because they are very loyal and friendly. They are also very protective, but for family dogs they are just great. I had a Golden Retriever growing up, but we have allergies in the family so we had to go with a non-allergenic breed. ”
