Mercy sakes alive, this dog is CUTE! 😍 😍 😍

Join us in welcoming our newest iSchool Pet of the Week, Mercy! Mercy is a 2-year-old Bichon Frise. Her favorite food is lettuce, and she enjoys playing in the snow and snuggling in the recliner. Her favorite toy is a large quail named Dan-Dan, and she viciously chases him for anyone who is willing to toss him around.

BFFs 4 LYF: Cooper + Diane

Cooper and Diane are this week’s iSchool Help Desk Pets of the Week! This bonded set of siblings are best friends, but they couldn’t be more different! Cooper (upper left) is a cuddly little lapcat who isn’t afraid to show affection, while Diane (lower right) plays it cool and aloof. She’s an avid birdwatcher and likes to play hide-and-seek with empty plastic shopping bags.

Cinder is this week’s iSchool Pet of the Week!

Lovely lady Cinder is a pleasantly plump little kitty who maintains good relationships with everyone, even her veterinarian. She’s a bit demure but that doesn’t stop her from getting into trouble from time to time. Instead of meowing, Cinder softly ‘honks’ and head-bumps for attention. She accepts forehead kisses in return.

This “Crazy Train” of a cat is “off the rails” cute 😊

This week’s iSchool Help Desk Pet of the Week is Ozymandias (aka Ozy)! If you look up Ozymandias on Wikipedia, his page is cross-listed with the word “hubris.” Ozy strives to live up to this legacy daily. Ozy often preoccupies himself with stalking outside birds from the sidelines of his living room, waiting for an opportune moment to bash his face into the window in an attack.

Nimbus needs your attention ASAP PLZ

This week’s iSchool Help Desk Pet of the Week is Nimbus!

Nimbus is a grown lady cat, but she may never stop acting like a kitten. According to her owners, Adam and Siggi, Nimbus has exactly zero chill, patience, or self-preservation and often takes to trotting up and down the hallways crying loudly for someone to please, for goodness’ sake, come and play! This little fur-ball of pure energy will make sure there is never a dull moment in her household.

All Hail Queen Morgan!

This week’s iSchool Pet of the Week is Morgan!

Morgan is a sassy little lady and also the supreme ruler of her household. She loves her human mom, Delaney, very much, unless she’s gone for several hours — then it’s time for the classic cold shoulder. (How dare she, right?) When Morgan isn’t napping, she keeps herself busy with playing in boxes, chasing crumpled up Post-It notes, and being the absolute queen that she is.

I would walk 500 Niles for this pooch

This week’s Pet of the Week may be a senior citizen in dog years (he just turned 14!), but Niles is as lively as ever! He loves snuggling with his people and playing tug of war with his stuffed animal friends. Niles also appreciates long “walks” in his stroller around town.
