This week’s Pet of the Week is Pebbles, an energetic 11-year-old lady.
Here’s what Pebbles had to say about her life here in Arlington:
Hello Arlingtonians! I’m Pebbles. I might not look it, but I’m an 11-year-old lady. I can also still keep up with all those young pups.
I’ve been in Arlington for three years. I spent the first two years in Ballston Place Apartments. I loved it there! The front desk staff always gave me treats and belly rubs before and after my potty walks. I especially loved running around Quincy Park.
These days, you can find me in Alcova Heights since my family recently bought a townhouse. There are so many new smells in this part of town! My favorite activity here is chasing all the squirrels in Alcova Heights Park. But afterward, I need to pass out in my corner of the house to take a nap.
If you see me around town, say “hi” and give me a belly rub! I love new people and am always very happy — except for when I’m around vacuum cleaners. I think those things are the only things I dislike with a passion.
