What is your pet’s name?
Mr. Pumpkin
What is the breed of your pet?
Maine Coon
How was your pet’s name chosen?
Because of his orange coloring.
Do you have a favorite walking route, etc.? What is it and why?
He would make his rounds through the house checking out each room, every morning when we woke up and again each night before bedtime.
What is your pet’s favorite food or treat?
Scrambled eggs with grits.
Does your pet have a pet peeve? If so, what is it?
He hated for me to leave his Golden Retriever brother sitting at the door to come in, so Pumpkin would meow loudly until I let the dog in.
If your pet could speak, what would be its favorite word and why?
“Mom”, because every day when I got home from work he’d do figure 8’s through my feet until I sat down and then he’d snuggle with me for hours, if I’d let him.
