I start swimming very fast in my enclosure whenever he or Olga come to visit me because they feed me good eats.

I love Cranford and specially love looking out the window towards the Rahway River and The Mill. I see deer, squirrels, rabbits, and a family of geese that comes to visit.

I'm about 20 years old, but whose counting!"

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. Be sure to include a photograph or two of your pet, a paragraph about what makes him or her so great, and the part of 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.
