May/June 2021 • TulsaPets 9 ON THE COVER LOCAL All in favor of shopping WWW.COXBUSINESS.COM Raise Your Paw! M eet Violet Lamson, our featured cover star! Violet belongs to Tulsans Chuck and Leigh Lamson, both huge animal lovers. Their dog Oliver graced our July 2014 cover, when the couple won our 2014 cover auction. They recently inquired about how they could land their newer dog Violet on the cover as well, so we came up with a plan.   The couple agreed to make a gen- erous donation to the Animal Rescue Foundation in exchange for the cover shot. And voilà, we made it happen! Now the Lamsons’ second fur-child gets her moment in the spotlight, and rescue animals will benefit from their gift–a true win-win. Violet is a Miniature Schnauzer, who turned 4 on April 8. According to Chuck, “She loves to snuggle under blankets. She also stands on her back legs a lot when she is excited and wants treats. She loves roughhousing with Oliver and always goes into Leigh’s purse to get tissues! We said she could be a drug dog if they were wrapped in tissues because she can always find them whether in her purse or pockets. She is a very loving dog. She also likes to grab socks and dryer sheets and runs away with them!” Well, Violet sounds like she has quite the personality! Would you like your pet to be featured on our cover ? With your donation to a local rescue, we can make that happen. For more information, contact Marilyn King at mking@tulsapetsmagazine.com . Chuck with Oliver and Violet
