Pets & Critters

January 2022

a monthly feature of the Northwest Observer

Jim and Beth Rigsbee of Stokesdale delight in their dog, Woodrow. Named after President Woodrow Wilson, the couple felt that since Woodrow was a mutt, he should at least have a high-society name. Graced with many nicknames, he also answers to Woody, Woody Wilson, Wilson Woods and Woody Woodrow. He loves nothing more than a soft bed and pillow.

Summerfield resident Lisa Turnage shared these pictures of her beautiful furry friends, Sophie the cat and Logan, a 3-year-old black lab. Sophie holds an especially sweet spot in Turnage’s heart, as she got Sophie from her parents just a month before her father passed away from cancer. The Pegram girls, who reside in Stokesdale, love their barn cats. (Left), Kylie Pegram of Stokesdale holds Leon, who loves cuddles and golf cart rides and often seeks attention. (Right) Kylie’s sister, Kate, snuggles with Patch, who has been deemed “snooty” because he is happy to distance himself from Leon and likes to do his own thing, happy to not be the center of attention. Kylie and Kate report that both cats are adored – and very spoiled!
