Dave and Marilyn Coffey family, Crete
“Ginger loves to go for walks and is very lovable and playful! Always wants to be included in family outings.”
Marley Faye, 2, Maltese-Poodle
Jeannette Widick, Crete
“Special as can be. She had her left eye removed when she was only 3 months old, but there’s no way that stops her from anything. Everyone loves her and she loves everyone. Her favorite place to sleep is on top my pillow above my head and she loves snow peas.
Juliette, 10, 300 lb. Vietnamese Pot-Bellied Pig
Crystal Dewey, Crete
“We adopted her from the humane society last year. She is 10 years old and nearing the end of her life, but her intelligence and sense of humor bring us much joy. Juju is about 300 lbs, which is large for a pet pig, but we are happy to provide her a cushy and spoiled retirement home.
Daisy, 3 1/2, Welsh Corgi
Becky Brewer, Crete
“This is the look that Daisy gives me whenever I stop petting her! Otherwise, she’s all smiles. That’s why she’s special to me: she’s a happy-go-lucky dog that brings joy to everyone she meets.”
Ginger, 4 1/2, Cairn Terrier,
Renker Family, Crete
“Ginger is the most loyal friend we could ever have. She loves to spend time with us. (She doesn’t know that she isn’t a human.) She will fetch anything we throw. Seriously, anything! (balls, sticks, apples, weeds, rocks...) One of her favorite games in the fall is chasing apples.
Calico Rose, 6 1/2, Jack Russel Terrer,
Teresa and Wayne Hunt, Denton
