Dear Soarlslacker – You sound like an interesting Human.
I mice-elf would rather read about cats. And Mice.

Where did thebrickwall22 say it wasn’t cheese?
Yes, it’s cheese. Lame. Annoying.
No, you don’t have to read it and its existence on the site is not the end of the world. It is highly unlikely that ARLNow will choose to forgo this source of revenue unless it truly leads to fewer readers, and I just doubt that will be the case. As others have pointed out, at least you can simply scroll on by and not read it. Far better than other sites where the ads pop up in your face and you have to actively dismiss them. Thankfully, ARLNow is a far cry from being able to get away with that.
Right?

Dogs(cats, pets) are much more pleasant than many people. I’d rather see and read about dogs than some of folks that post their snarky comments here.

My apologies, just saw the other fountain. Too quick to judge….

Um, you planning on drinking out of the fountain any time soon? You do realize that kind of fountain is not for you to bring your bucket, scoop up water and haul it back to your condo to put in your stainless steel french door counter depth refrigerator dont you?

My mom’s goldendoodle is a rescue … this isn’t mutually exclusive.

It would have taken Blue Whale an entire 1.2 seconds to scroll past the Pet of the Week post. Very valuable time. Time he will never get back.

Jake – give it a break. Please!!!!

Notsurprised is absolutely correct.

I think Atlas is just adorable – and yes, pets get thirsty too!

My dog is sitting on my lap as I look at the photos and she is watching them with great interest. I think she thinks Atlas is a doll – as do I!!!!

Thanks for the smiles Atlas and Arlnow.

By the reaction of some people here, you’d think the Pet of the Week was some sort of mind control method to get people to steal candy from babies.

Serious people gotta be serious all the time. Seriously surprised you didn’t understand that. Have to run. I have an important meeting on some serious topics. Meanwhile I’ll be bringing along the W. Post, the W. Times, the Examiner and Washingtonian, none of which have ever posted a fun little article about something other than national politics or crime, ever.
