“Muttoneaters” visit Lizzie’s Dogs

This weekend’s annual gathering of the Second Street Irregulars, “Muttoneaters” included a visit on April 1st to Pine Ridge Animal Shelter to visit the three Boston bull terrier dogs belonging to Lizzie Borden which are buried in the pet cemetery there. A bouquet was left for Laddie Miller, Royal Nelson and Donald Stuart.

The weather was sunnier the following day when the group visited the Faxon Shelter on Durfee Street to deliver a basket of puppy and kitten treats and to pose for the shelter newsletter with a few four-legged friends.

Both Borden sisters left generous cash gifts to the shelter in their wills. Photographs of the Misses Emma and Lizzie Borden can be seen on the wall at the shelter. It was a busy day for adopting pets.
