Here are your Pets over at The Animal Services Center of the Mesilla Valley:
Chloe is your cat of the week - I’m just a little ball of fur with the biggest dreams! I came to the shelter with my siblings, and we're all working hard to grow strong and healthy. I’m known around here for being an incredibly curious kitten. My favorite playground is our tower, where I can frolic and play with my siblings. But when I’m not bouncing around, I absolutely adore curling up for nap time, especially when I can cuddle up next to my siblings. There’s nothing quite like the warmth of a gentle hug!
I can’t help but want to connect with everyone around me! That said, I have a little secret... I sometimes try to be a bit of an escape artist. It’s not because I’m naughty, but because I’m eager to explore the world outside my little space. There’s so much out there, and I can't wait to see it all! If you’re looking for a fun and loving companion, I’m your girl!
Vito is your dog of the week - I’m a sweet, and at times, wiggly boy who’s been hanging out at the shelter since I was just a few months old. I’m a playful pup with a heart full of love, and I'm always eager to make new friends. The staff here tell me I'm quite the social butterfly! You’ll find me happily wagging my tail and darting to the front of my cage, ready to greet anyone who stops by for some attention. I thrive on connection and companionship.
I have no idea why I haven’t found my forever family yet. Sure, I still have that adorable gangly puppy look, but trust me, it just adds to my charm! I’m just as happy and beautiful as any pup could be. I’ve mostly known life behind these kennel bars, and I can’t wait to discover what the big, beautiful world has to offer! I’m excited to find a loving family that will help me continue growing while showering me with hugs and playtime.

Groucho Marx suffered from severe insomnia. When he couldn’t sleep, he would call his neighbor, Alice Cooper, and ask him to come over! Alice would bring over a six-pack of beer and Groucho and he would drink beer and watch old movies on TV until Groucho nodded off. (1974)

The friendship between Groucho Marx and Alice Cooper became one of the most unexpected cross-generation relationships in 1970s Hollywood. Groucho was in his eighties and one of the last surviving members of the Marx Brothers, a comedic dynasty that helped shape early American film comedy. Alice Cooper was thirty years younger and at the peak of his shock-rock fame, performing theatrical horror-themed stage shows.

Groucho loved to tell people that Alice was “not a rock star to me, he is one of our comedians.” He attended Cooper’s concerts and Cooper visited Groucho’s home in Beverly Hills so frequently that neighbors joked he was basically part of Groucho’s extended family. The beer and movie ritual was not a one-time event but a repeated routine. Groucho’s doctor later said that the companionship mattered more than the alcohol. Cooper himself has said decades later that helping Groucho sleep felt like “an honor and a duty.”
