Pets are banned from The Stranger‘s office, due to a written agreement with our landlord. But Lester Black got to visit an office in Georgetown that has some 300 dogs walking around at any given time.
Nathalie Graham, who also wishes we didn’t have an office ban on furry friends, recently got a cat from a shelter in the U-District, and it has been yowling nonstop. Turns out, the cat is in heat. (Nathalie may wish she could bring Juno to the office, but the rest of us are sure happy she can’t.) What’s it like living with a cat in heat? Find out here.
Our Ugly Pet Contest is widely beloved (except by the region’s Shiba Inus), but the creature that won over the hearts of certain editors here, an amphibian named Phil, didn’t prevail in the all-office vote. Democracy can be a heartbreaker. Leilani Polk profiles Phil the axolotl.
