Athena And Major Are Scotch Plains-Fanwood's Pets Of The Week

SCOTCH PLAINS, NJ — Meet Athena and Major! They have been chosen as Scotch Plains-Fanwood Patch's Pets Of The Week.

"Athena and Major have been Scotch Plains residents since 2016. They were adopted as a bonded pair through Brendan's Meadows Rescue in Mountainside after our beloved previous pair had passed months earlier. They have gotten spoiled during the pandemic with multiple long walks per day and have come to expect humans at home 24x7. They love the large front picture window and one of them is usually on guard for deer, dogs, cats, walkers, bicyclists and whatever happenings are going on in the neighborhood. And they keep us informed!"

— Frank Bakka/Lynn Bircsak, Scotch Plains
