Contrarian Pet of the Week
Meet Rex!
We told you we wanted to have fun, and we take fun seriously at The Contrarian. Each week we will share The Contrarian pet(s) of the week. (The pet need not be contrarian.) Subscribers are invited to submit their furry friend!
Name: Rex Borschow Cohen
Age: 13 years young
Breed: Chihuahua/pitbull/dachshund/pug
Hobbies: Barking at any and all threats that deign walk by, especially the mailperson; snuggling 20/7; growling when we smother him but actually loving it; eating anything in sight, including entire chocolate bars; having a stomach of steel; tolerating two mamas who are obsessed with him.
Worst/Best Moment: Rex’s worst moment was when he masterminded the 2024 election (sorry, everyone!). Rex was sick of his moms having jobs and desperately wanted them to stay home all day and snuggle him. Also, he’s MAGA. Rex’s best moment was when he masterminded our relationship after tolerating 10 years of men who weren’t good enough for him or his mama.
