Is Your Pet Worthy of "Pet of the Week?"

A new feature in Plainview Patch will profile YOUR pet and what makes him or her so special.

Posted by Joe Dowd (Editor), June 19, 2011 at 02:35 pm

Do you have a great dog or cat in your family? Maybe a hamster or snake or even a horse?

Every week, will feature a pet submitted from someone in the community.

We've included photos of the latest pet of the week from neighboring Syosset Patch: a Goldendoodle (Standard Poodle-Golden Retriever.) The owner is Syosset resident Amy Platt.

Think you're pet should be featured on Plainview Patch? E-mail photos and a bio of your pet to Editor Joe Dowd at joe.dowd@patch.com

You have to be kidding, right? Is this patch or facebook. We want hard news!

If I have a pet that rips a burglar limb from limb and makes the news, then it can both make hard news AND be pet of the week!!!

I have seen kids having a tough time crossing Jamaica Ave because of this twisted definition of STOP. If anything, this is a good way to relearn what should of been taught in drivers ed. When I moved to Plainview, people at a stop sign would signal the driver that got there first to go. Now it's a race to the stop sign and fly by it to avoid having the other guy go first.
