Ready for the REAL THING?

Here are your first three clues to this week's Mystery Pet!

1) The place where I live was founded on gold and originally named after a Frenchman. Weld County was originally named St. Vrain County after a French trader--even before Colorado was officially recognized as a state!  The discovery of GOLD in the Platte River is what drove this recognition.

2) Curiosity hasn’t got the better of me yet! Our Mystery Pet is a particularly curious feline!

3) I come in many shades and often when you least expect it…at least that's what my name suggests! "Blush" comes in many shades...and I for one am always blushing when least expected!

Who am I? Find me and you can help feed me! Congratulations to Alexandra Wright for finding out Mystery Pet!  You can visit Blush at the Weld County Humane Society where she is anxiously awaiting a forever home...

Miss out this week?  Not to worry! We'll be back next week with MORE Mystery Pets and another chance to win!

 3)  I share my name with a famous snake who lost her life to a nameless bride.

4) I'm on the "frontier" of Faribault... and though I think I'm pretty fabulous, it's not uncommon for someone of my particular looks to be completely overlooked!

Who am I? Find me and you can help feed me! Congratulations to Kayleigh for her LIGHTNING FAST win!
