Do you have any pets? If so, tell us about them. My wife and I love dogs. We have 2 pugs - PJ and Marlo. PJ is named after our favorite rock n roll band, Pearl Jam. Marlo is named after a character in the crime drama tv show The Wire. Our doggies are members of the family. PJ is our old man doggie - he's 10 years old. Marlo is the baby - he's 2 years old. They always bring a smile to our face, and there's nothing better than coming home from a long day to see their smiling face and waggy tails welcoming us home.
