Romy Is Princeton's Pet Of The Week

PRINCETON, NJ — Meet Romy! She has been chosen as Princeton Patch's Pet Of The Week. (For a limited time Pet of the Week will run twice a week to bring some joy during the coronavirus pandemic)

"Pet of the week??More like menagerie of the week. Although Romy is a dog, she is independent as a cat, sniffles like a piglet, sounds like a chicken, and thinks that she's as big a bull. You can find this 6 pound Pom Pom trying to fight horses, running from pine cones, and/or waking up the household at 3 a.m. because she has jumped out of bed and can’t get back up into it despite the dog steps and night light set up for her convenience.

She does love to be fashionable, whatever the occasion. Here she is wearing green to match the pillows and lawn for her outing on the patio. But you may see her in town in her striped dress or butterfly wings depending on the weather and her whim. She'll also steal your socks if she needs an accessory. And if she is feeling under appreciated, she will not hesitate to step on your laptop to mute your FaceTime call, so that your attention is where it belongs — on Romy!"
