Today’s Dogs of the Day are Bear Biscuit and Sgt. Pepper, submitted by Sol Day of VUMC IT. “Bear Biscuit (L) (named by kids) and Sgt. Pepper paying attention to my lunch. Bear Biscuit is supposedly a mini australian shepherd and Sgt. Pepper is a mini dachshund. They patrol their yard in East Nashville with great enthusiasm and nothing offends them more than a neighborhood dog being walked off-leash (oh the horror!).”
Today’s Cats of the Day are Stanley and Stella, submitted by Amy Narusas of Population Health. “This is Stanley (Persian) and Stella (tricolor/tortie seal point Himalayan). They are always together and love paper shopping bags!”
Bear Biscuit, Sgt. Pepper, Stanley and Stella were featured in the Aug. 18, 2026, edition of MyVUMC News.
