Don’t Lose that Confidence, Team!

Hey, iSchoolers. How’re you holding up out there? It’s been a stressful few days and it’s probably going to stay that way. But hopefully, this week’s Pet of the Week will bring a smile to your face.

Bill Purry here knows a little bit about mass hysteria (and dogs and cats living together), but he’s pretty sure the alien at the Holiday Inn in Paramus was wrong about the end of the world. He loves singing songs about the good life and avoiding restaurants that make you cook your own food. His biggest fan, Kiri, says that they love it when he sparkles, but it’s his professionalism that they really respect.

Have your own somber-faced comedian who stares dramatically out of rainy windows? Send it over to the Help Desk to be the Pet of the Week.

No jaguar sharks, please.

This Kitty is on the Case!

We apologize for the late post, but Detective Curtis Lemansky was off solving crime, and couldn’t be here for the blog.

But do not fear! Lem is doing his due diligence in protecting us from crime with his incredibly handsome looks.

Thank you, Kiri, for assuring us that Lem is keeping us safe from wrongdoers!

Longing Gazes into the Weekend

This week the Help Desk was graced with nobility the likes of which we have never seen.

We had to make sure everyone saw Eartha Kitty, and hope that her proud stance will inspire you into the weekend! Thank you Kiri for sharing this adorable floof with us!

D’angelo Abides

It’s Friday Funday! Or as I like to call it, the Eve of the Big Sleep. Until we can all have a well-deserved rest, it’s time for the Pet of the Week!

Look at this guy, with his beauty mark and his chin rest, smirking at the rest of us fools!  D’angelo, I just don’t know about you. You’re all smug that we’re in back class while you get to take as many naps as you want! You smugasaurus, I’m so jealous I can’t even think straight. But to quote Sam Elliott in The Big Lebowski, I like your style, dude.

You are unrepentant.

You are living the good life and everyone else can just deal with it.

Well, you’d better at least make room for your human, Jessie, in that box because someone needs to benefit from your extra soft behavior.

I can’t deal with this, y’all. Please send us your cuties so this sassafras knows he’s not the only adorable friend in the world. For Pete’s sake.

Snuggles and Stripes and Everything Nice

Happy Freezing Friday! It’s time to warm your heart with the Pet of the Week!

We trudged through the elements to get to work, but Calpurnia is doing this early winter right.

Cuddles with her favorite person? Check.

Stylish fur coat? Check.

Extreme distrust of outside conditions at all times? I am feeling you, grrrl.

Human Madeline, you have a winner right here. Style and smarts!

Want your chunky monkey adored by tech support and everyone else they encounter? Send an email with a picture of your purrfect pal and they could be featured as our next Pet of the Week!

Handsome Krieger

Hey, Friday Fans! It’s time to talk about our Pet of the Week!

If you’ve got it, flaunt it! Krieger heard this advice as a wee kitten and took it very seriously. We cannot handle the level of sassiness contained in his excellent paw. He knows he looks good. His human, Jessica, knows he looks good. You just sit right there and let this handsome gentleman give you the ol’ smolder.

 

We’re yearning for more four-legged models to waltz down our digital catwalk. If you share your home with a creature as glorious as Krieger, send their picture to the Help Desk! They could be the next Pet of the Week!

Rascal, what cheer?

It’s Friday! You know what that means? It’s time for the Pet of the Week!

But soft! What light through yonder laptop breaks? It is the Rascal, and Miranda is his human! This handsome gent is helping Miranda with her studying. What a scholarly fellow!

Is your best friend as cute as Rascal? We want to feature them! Send the Help Desk a picture of your pet so we can show everyone how adorable they are!
