This week, we have TWO featured pets! Meet Lulu and GG, the companions of Amelia. They sit with her while she attends class and wait patiently for class to end to receive pets and treats. What an adorable pair of puppers!
Double Doggo Friday
Author: Katherine Mary Peterson
All Tuckered Out
I think that we all have a little bit of Tucker inside of us, because this kitty loves to nap! He’d prefer to curl up with his human Sidney, but when she is unavailable he’ll instead nap with her slippers.
Have a great weekend, iSchoolers, and be sure to catch some Z’s!
They Grow Up So Fast
Happy Friday, folks! We want to introduce you to Jake, our newest iSchool student! Yes, he will be our first canine admitted into the Information Sciences Undergrad program and he aspires to create a library of scents for his fellow puppers.
Stella the Spry
This is Stella, another member of Jen’s menagerie. She (Stella, not Jen) is an active pupper who loves to be on her feet as though to remind you that you’ve been sitting in your desk chair for too long.
Have a great weekend, iSchoolers, and remember to enjoy the Spring weather!
We’re Hiring!
Hello, everyone! The help desk is hiring graduate assistants! This is a 50% appointment, and we are hiring for multiple positions. No tech support skill required–just a love to help others and an affinity for cute pets. A PDF containing the job description and a link to the application is attached below. Applications are due on Monday, April 5th, 2021.
Every time I turn around, I see the cat who turns my world around
This week’s pet is extra special (totally nonbiased opinion) because she’s a help desk GA assistant! If you ever received a message from the help desk that looked like “ffkdl;skkkkkkkkk” chances are it’s Punky telling you that you’re having a great hair day.
A Puppy with Wisdom
Nynaeve shares her name with a certain special wisdom from the Wheel of Time book series. She is a great alleviator (though sometimes source) of stress. Just looking at her makes you say “Aw…” and forget about your assignments.
Have a great weekend, iSchoolers! If you’re ever feeling stressed, just look at some puppies!
Super Power Poe
This week we are introducing you to a guinea pig named Poe. He possesses several super powers such as stealth and swiftness, but his main super power is being jaw-dropping adorable.
If you have a pet with super powers (or without) please share it with the help desk! Email us at help@support.ischool.illinois.edu.
Sweet Furbaby
This lil’ puppy here is Ellie. She loves to solicit snuggles and destroy your pants when you’re not looking. She’s gotten a bit bigger since this picture was taken and is getting ready to turn one in a month. Lucky pup doesn’t have school on her birthday.
Have a fabulous winter break, everyone! We will be back in January with a new star-studded cast of pets. If you would like your pet to be included, please email us your photo to help@support.ischool.illinois.edu.
Carnivorous Clementine
Dropping in today is Clementine. She is a generous kitty who loves to share small critters that she has caught. Sometimes she’ll present them alive and give you the honors of finishing them off. Don’t you wish that you could have a kitty that generous?
Have a great weekend, iSchoolers, and remember that we’re close to finishing off this semester! 😉
