Guinness Is Clark-Garwood's Pet Of The Week

CLARK/GARWOOD, NJ — Meet Guinness! He has been chosen as Clark-Garwood Patch's Pet Of The Week.

"This is old man, Guinness. He is the perfect dog for a couple who works opposite shifts. He sleeps all night with his dad then stretches, yawns and goes back to sleep during the day while his M=mom sleeps.

He loves his younger human sister, as long as she doesn't try to cuddle with him. As much as he doesn't like her near him, he worries and misses her just as much when she isn't home.

He is about 14 years old now. When we adopted him more than 7 years ago, they thought he was about 6 or 7. The whole family hopes he has many, many more years left in him!!"

— Stephanie Willix, dog mom in Garwood

Do you think your pet should be Clark-Garwood's Pet of the Week?

Participating in the Pet of the Week happenings is simple: submit your nomination by emailing alexis.tarrazi@patch.com with subject line "Clark-Garwood Pet Of The Week." Be sure to include a photograph or two of your pet, a paragraph about what makes him or her so great, and the town you're from.

You can choose to include your name, but you don't need to. Then just keep an eye out for a photo of your pet on the Patch!

The photo can be of a present pet, or it can be a baby picture of the adult pet you're so proud of today.

Additionally, selected winners each week will be given a free small gift basket filled with treats and goodies when they stop at In-N-Out Dog Wash at 300 North Ave. in Garwood. And winners can also bring their pet into the store for a picture. In-N-Out will put them up on their Facebook page as well.
