Check out our Franklin Living pet edition

In case you missed it, our latest Franklin Living is now available, released last week.

It’s our annual pet edition, which readers always seem to enjoy. Pets are a sort of universal common ground, so it’s easy to see why people would gravitate toward these pet-related stories.

In this issue you’ll learn more about a family that breeds Golden Retrievers; a unique pet wash station; and what it’s like to job shadow a veterinarian.

Every year when we begin planning this issue, we wonder – have we already covered all there is to cover about pets in Franklin County? With all the passionate pet-lovers and pet-centric nonprofits we’ve featured, could we have exhausted the story supply?

Every year we find there are still plenty more stories to share.

We hope you enjoy this issue. Don’t forget to thumb through the “Faces of Franklin County” pages that, for this issue, feature Franklin pets. You might just see a furry friend you recognize.

Do you have an idea for a future Franklin Living feature, pet-related or otherwise? Be sure to let us know! You can email all suggestions to alison.james@fct.wpengine.com. We’re always open to great story ideas from our readers.
