Blizzard the Help Desk Co-Worker…Sometimes

Our Pet of the Week is our very own Jen Anderson’s adorable (if not slightly neurotic) feline friend, Blizzard! Blizzard enjoys making quick cameos during our Help Desk meetings but only when he deems us worthy of his presence…which usually isn’t too often. Don’t worry, we don’t take it personally!

Whiskers by the Window

This sweet and furry friend of ours is Punkin! She enjoys sunbathing any chance she gets and greeting anyone who walks by her window. When she isn’t busy soaking up some sun, she enjoys all the belly scratches and hanging out with her humans. Punkin and your friends at the Help Desk wish you all luck during finals week!

A Warm Start to the Semester

We hope you get some time to relax before the start of the semester, just like this week’s Pet of the Week, Dexter (black) and Uma (black and white)

Thank you to Dexter and Uma’s favorite human, Kati, for sharing with us what peak relaxation looks like.  Good luck in the Fall semester, Illini!

Maximum Cuteness in Minimum Packaging

I’m not sure if you knew when you woke up today that you were in for an exceptionally special experience, but, boy howdy, are you ever! For your viewing pleasure, the iSchool Help Desk is proud to present…our smolest Pet of the Week ever.

This is Lu. She’s new here. Her human, Brandon, is still getting to know her, but it looks like she’s already excelling at cuteness and cuddles. Lu, if you need to practice any of your kitten skills, we happily volunteer to assist you.

Any new (or old!) furry friends in your life? Send them over to the Help Desk to be our featured Pet of the Week! But only if they’re as cute as Lu. She’s really bringing us to the next level here.

Love Meow or Leave Meow

We made it through July, friends! It’ll be autumn in New York – er – Urbana before we know it. To celebrate, we’ve got a sophisticated lady to share with all of you.

Billie here (or “Miss Brown” to you) doesn’t have much reason to sing the blues. She’s fine and mellow and has an easy living (not to mention plenty of laps to sit in).  Her human, Brandon, thinks she’s too marvelous for words. We’re certainly a fool for her.

Does your furry, fanged, or feathered friend go to your head? Send them in to be our next Pet of the Week! We’d love to give this year’s (digital) kisses to them!

 

na na na na na na na na catmaaaaaaan

Excelsior, iSchoolers! In our last episode, we bowed to the awesome power of the One True Queen. Now it’s time to meet the hero the iSchool deserves…AND the one it needs right now (take that, Christopher Nolan)!

Holy Priceless Collection of Etruscan Snoods! Faster than a speeding jingle ball, more powerful than a mid-afternoon snooze attack, able to leap cat towers in a single bound, Catman keeps careful watch over his humans, Carol and Kathryn. This Dark Knight is always on the lookout, always at the ready…for tuna cans to open.

Have a friendly floof in your neighborhood? Send them over to the Help Desk to be our next Pet of the Week! Ka-POW!

our mew-dal superior

Happy weekend, iSchoolers! The sun is still shining here in Urbana, and that’s not just the glowing visage of our Pet of the Week!

Behold! Today we are graced by Principessa Clementina of the House Tilley-LaBarre, First of her Name, the Spicy. This ginger goddess is queen of all she surveys, ruling benevolently over her humans, Kathryn and Carol. Woe be upon all of us who are not as purrfect as Her Majesty.

Do you live with a magnanimous overlord/lady/soverign upon whose image we must bask? Send their finest portrait to the Help Desk, and they could be featured as our Pet of the Week! AS THEY SHOULD BE.
