Advertiser pets
July 2nd, 2009 by LeslieThere's a bunch of animal lovers here on the The Advertiser staff. I wanted to share their pets with you.
Enjoy looking at these great photos!
Patches, taking a snooze, was recently adopted from the Hawaii Animal Sanctuary by Assistant Business Editor Alan Yonan and family.
Rocket is a 5-month old Pomeranian-Papillon puppy that belongs to Business Writer Greg Wiles' daughter.
Snoopy (L), a Teddy guinea pig and Coco (R), an American smooth coated guinea pig, reside with the Publisher's Executive Assistant Karen Emoto.
"Lennie is a blennie," says John Garcia, the Advertiser's Digital Supervisor of Design. A blennie is a salt-water goby fish.
Keoni , along with Lennie, lives with John Garcia.
Jane Morita-Sibley of Composing has three pomeranians at home. Mele(L), Miki (middle) and Koa (R) enjoy the cool waterbed in this hot weather.
Eugene Tanner, former Advertiser photographer, shares his home with two Exotic cats. Exotics are Persian cats bred to have short hair. Lani (L) likes hug and clean KitKit (R).
Page Designer Elizabeth House took this photo of Yoda while he was perched on top of the door.
Chester is a very famous lovebird. She (yes, she) appears in all of our Petland ads and resides with graphic artist Cindy Oshita.
City reporter Michael Tsai adopted Bear as a kitten from the Hawaiian Humane Society over fifteen years ago. She was so small, she fit in his hand.
Bobo, a Bull Mastiff, lives with Sports Reporter Stephen Tsai. Stephen says, "He's scares the mailman."
Ozzy is a 2 year old Labrador Retriever. His human is Copy Editor Richard Couch.
Business Writer Robbie Dingeman's dog, Dusty, a 6 year old Miniature Schnauzer, mugs for the camera.
Border Collie mixes, Sumo and Sushi, came all the way from Kentucky with News Editor Dave Putnam.

Everyone, please have a safe 4th of July.

kelsey:
currently i have one dog from the humane society named zoe. she's a papillon-mix that's seven.
eventually i hope to get a cat because i really like cats too.
all pets require a lot of attention, time and planning so it's a good idea before getting another pet to do research on breed types, health requirements, etc.
i would love to have another pug, but there are so many other dogs waiting for homes at the shelter. so i made a promise that all my future pets will come from there.
have a good weekend kelsey!

Today we lost our Mochi...we were fortunate to have her in our lives for 13 years. I will miss her forever.
