The Bryant family wanted a small dog, but not the responsibility for its upkeep. They found a robot dog named Mister was ideal. When the ornament choir sang, he even joined in. Welcome to the family, Mister.
Binx is a 2 1/2-year-old tabby and possible Maine Coon/Snowshoe mix, and the newest member of the Childers family in Belle. He loves playing with his new brother and sister but is still a little shy with his human family.
Finn, a 10-month-old Yorkiepoo, and Violet Lu, a 4-year-old terrier mix, are dressed in matching Christmas pajamas and ready for Christmas with the Choueiri family in Charleston.
Courtney is a 3-year-old gray tabby, a former stray who was rescued outside the McDowell County courthouse and lives now with the Cohen family of Charleston.
Callie is a beautiful, 4-year-old toy fox terrier who lives with the Ferrell family in Winfield. They were lucky to find her at the Putnam County animal shelter when she was about a year old and say she has been quite a joy in all of their lives. Callie enjoys spending time inside with her family in the winter, and especially loves picking pears right off of the trees in the summer.
Corrie, 18 months old, was born in Kentucky and will be spending her first Christmas in West Virginia this year. She is a Persian calico who is adored by Sandy and David Goff of South Charleston.
Rosita is a 5-year-old Chiweenie who is all dressed up for Christmas. She loves getting dressed up, and participating in 5K races with her owner, Donna Jordan from Minnora, in Calhoun County.
Abby lost her previous owner unexpectedly a few years ago. She is a happy, gentle Border collie who lives with Leo and Maggie Linsky and her two dog siblings up Campbells Creek in Charleston.
Casper is a 12-year-old former stray who chose to live at the Martin home in Charleston and makes himself comfortable in the midst of Christmas wrappings.
At 12, Charlie is a senior dog who sometimes acts like a young pup. He loves to go for walks and be the “neighborhood watch†when he’s out in the yard. His people, Joe and Sherry Hamrick of St. Albans, say he is lovable because “he’s a charmer with a nice mix of attitude!â€
This is not a trick. There is a cat in there, hiding exceptionally well among the branches. It’s 11-year-old Skippy, a short-haired domestic tortie who was rescued along with her sister. She was diagnosed a few years ago with chronic kidney disease but is fine otherwise and loves taking naps inside the Christmas tree.
