Coco And Ellie Are Bridgewater's Pets Of The Week

BRIDGEWATER, NJ — Meet Coco and Ellie! They have been chosen as Bridgewater Patch's Pets Of The Week.

"Meet Coco, our 5-year-old Shih Tzu and Ellie the cat (we think she is 3 years old since we took her in as a stray). Coco is the sweetest, most loving, easy-going dog out there. She is the best thing that ever happened to our family. Ellie came into our lives when she started hanging out around our beach house in Lavallette. We discovered she was homeless so we took her in.

Coco and Ellie get along very well, but she is definitely much tougher than Coco. Coco tries to play and bring Ellie toys, which of course she has no interest in. Both our pets light up our lives every day!"

— Alexi Morris, Branchburg
