Westlake Historical Society selects cutest pet winner

The James family's Yorkie, named Omar, was the winner of the Westlake Historical Society's cutest pet contest.

The Westlake Historical Society would like to congratulate the James family and their dog, “Omar.” He has been selected as Westlake's cutest pet for 2015!

The James family said, “Omar was born on April 29, 2008. He is a very quiet Yorkie! He doesn’t play with toys but loves to go on long walks and socialize with all the neighbors! Many thanks to all our friends and neighbors who stop to pet him! He also enjoys walking in Clague Park and the Metroparks! Besides his Purina Pro Plan he likes bits of peppers, apples and eggs. Ice cream is an extra special occasional treat! He loves stealing tissues out of the wastebasket and then being chased. In the winter he loves to snuggle on the couch with us. He loves car rides, belly rubs and back scratches. He gives lots of kisses and is always happy to see everyone!”

The money raised from entry fees in this annual contest goes to help fund the "Life In The Past Lane" program for the Westlake Historical Society. This program takes a little bit of our museum on the road to local schools, groups, businesses and churches.
