We want to meet your pets! Send us your stories

CLEVELAND, Ohio — Do you have a special dog, kitty, hamster, bird or other pet that makes your life extra special? Is there a great story behind how your pet came to join your household?

We want to hear about it!

Share your pet’s story with our cleveland.com and Sun newspaper readers. We all love to read about the animals who make our lives and homes a little fuller and happier.

Did you pick up your pooch from an animal shelter? Did that one tiny kitten in the litter really speak to your heart?

Maybe you adopted an older fella who needed a new home for his twilight years. Maybe your special pet is a rabbit or bird or turtle.

We want to hear about all of them, so take a few minutes this weekend to write down what you love most about your pet and how he or she has made your life richer.

Send your stories to me – Ann Norman, Sun editor – at anorman@cleveland.com. Be sure to send along a photo of your pet or the two of you, and include the name of your community. Then look for your story online on cleveland.com and in your local Sun newspaper some upcoming Thursday!
