PETS OF THE WEEK

Mallet

 

Mallet pet of the week

Mallet is old and wise — 13 1/2…Don’t forget the 1/2 or he’ll be upset.

He’s the boss of the other two dogs and his humans.

He, however, does not like when his mother tells him not to bark at people at the gas station…see said expression in photo.
