Gilbert Is Bridgewater's Pet Of The Week

BRIDGEWATER, NJ — Meet Gilbert! He has been chosen as Bridgewater Patch's Pet Of The Week.

"This is Gilbert! He is our 9 year old Chihuahua mix, of what, we aren't sure. Gilbert is all about snuggling close. When I say close, I mean he squishes himself right by your side, the closer the better; a human heater. Gilbert loves looking out the window or sitting on the deck, ready to bark at any plane that flies over, any leaf that floats by and of course the neighbors cat. Gilbert is the most loving, affectionate and cutest pet as well as our favorite son... we have two of the human kind.
