Move over, Shirley. A new duo is in town – Laverne and Billie. Billie Stafford, a retired hairdresser referred to as “Momma Chicken” by those who know her, is proud of all her chicks. (By “chicks,” we don’t mean kids, but actual chickens.) However, she admits, one chicken, Laverne, is her favorite.

Aston, age 2
Pomeranian
Beech Street
Hi. I’m Aston, the sole pet of my household – and also its honorary second vacuum cleaner. I just celebrated my second birthday, but I don’t feel a day over puppyhood.
