Lisa Merkel, Mayor of Herndon, sent us these photos of family pets:
Dog – Minute, 8 months old, Pomeranian. Lila (age 11) finally convinced her cat people parents to add a puppy to the family last summer. Minute is tiny, the runt of her litter, and full-grown weighs 5.5 pounds! She’s named Minute because she’s “no bigger than a minute!” She loves chasing balls and treats from Great Harvest.
Cat – Socks, 5 years old, Tuxedo kitty. He’s a sweet boy who loves to snuggle next to you, especially on a fuzzy blanket. He’s called “The Chairman” because he looks stately, like he’s wearing a vest. He’s the little brother to our 18-pound orange tabby, Punkin.
