Sassy, Tuffy, Wiggles — do you recognize the names?
Murrieta police are asking for the public’s help in identifying the owner of a pet headstone found during the cleanup of a homeless encampment on Friday, March 7.
Riverside County’s homeless outreach team, City Net, found the headstone at a homeless encampment in a creek bed near Cherry Street and Adams Avenue in Murrieta, police Lt. Miguel Garcia said. The individual who resided there is known to local outreach personnel to bring various items to the site.
“We have no proof that the individual did it,” Garcia said. “The encampment isn’t only accessible to him. It could be a random person who dropped it off.”
The marker appears to be solid granite, is about two feet wide by five feet long, and weighs more than 100 pounds.
Based on the etchings in the headstone, all three animals lived for 10 years, with Sassy the last to die in 1990.

The owner has probably long passed away herself.
You know all those nice coolers and the lawn furniture and the expensive plywood and lumber and nice BBQ cookers, and the propane tanks and other cool stuff that the homeless have that also happens to all be the kind of stuff people keep outdoors in their yards and on the side of their house and in their backyards?
It’s a trap!
After all, Mike Baker's kids are named, "Sluggo", "Scooter", and "Muggsy".
Noticed those pet dogs lived about 10 years. My previous pet lived 16 years. All I did was keep her from getting fat (easy to do since she could only eat what I placed in bowl) and more important, I brushed her teeth every day for 30 seconds (without toothpaste). She never got sick in 16 years. Saved me Vet bills.
Is that the Mike Baker who does the Presidential Daily Brief podcasts and shows? The former CIA operative Mike Baker?
In that case I think his kids’ names “Sluggo”, “Scooter”, and “Mugsy” are just the Baker kids’ nom de guerres, their aliases, for some future clandestine family operation. 😏
The funniest serious guy I know.
It’s likely the stone was cast off when the owner replaced it with a new one with more space on it. A woman walking out over the ocean on a jetty came upon her own fathers headstone where it had been donated by a stone dealer with a yard full of such stones. They make excellent jetties. A Standard Barre gray twenty by twenty four by eight inches weighs 450 lbs.
First of all: I thought that the "pet rock" fad died out in the 1970s. Never heard of it spawning a "pet headstone" craze.
Secondly, the proper term for a hobo encampment is "jungle."
Regards,
At first I thought it might be strippers. But when their lives were only 10 years old ... it had to be pets.
