As Harlem Fur nears being a month old, we seem to have strayed from the mission of covering pets in the neighborhood. We've posted on taxis, dinner, and any old crap on the street. This is because people like Marlena, Jane, London and Simone (you all know who you are) have not stopped by for the kitty parties or trial run dog walking that I have been pestering you about for the past four weeks.

To take over on the animal side of things, we are proud to announce veteran news hound Pebbles.

Pebbles will be taking time off from her current assignment of piddling on Geraldo Rivera's shoes to track down fur related stories in our neighborhood.

Should you have any news on Harlem pets, please send an email to pebbles (at) harlemfur (dot) com.
