Meet Rochelle! She is a sweet dog and our pet of the week.

Rochelle is a 13-year-old rat terrier weighing about 22 pounds. She may be a senior girl, but Rochelle still has so much love to give.

She arrived with some terrible skin infections, but with proper care, Rochelle is looking and feeling better every day. She is discovering that life can be pretty wonderful. Rochelle is a sweet old lady who doesn't ask for much — she just needs someone willing to give a senior girl a chance at the good life.

In 1986, famed New Orleans chef Paul Prudhomme trademarked the term and popularized the dish. Then Alpine Steakhouse, a family-owned business in Sarasota, boarded the turducken train and began selling its now signature dish here in 1996.
