Ahead of spring break, we thought we would bring you a blog post that’s a bit of a change of pace. Since the GradSuccess office is closed over the break, we will all be at home more and spending time with loved ones – of the human and animal variety. Read on to find out more about the pets of GradSuccess’ staff members (and to look at the cute photos)!

 

Meet the Pets: Sabrina

GradSuccess Team Member: Alexis

You can find Sabrina ‘helping’ Alexis with her work by chewing on paperback books. When Sabrina runs out of books to chew, cardboard is an acceptable alternative.

Meet the Pets: Sam, Nami, and Ozzy

GradSuccess Team Member: Judy

You can find them hanging out together. Nami, the pack leader, is sweet and goofy. Sam is very affectionate and loves eating peanut butter. And Ozzy is the youngest, but likes to think he’s the toughest, and loves playing tug-of-war.

Meet the Pets: Little Kitty

GradSuccess Team Member: Sarah

You can find kitty acting as the apartment’s customs inspector, sniffing all incoming and outgoing packages and luggage. She is also fond of napping and stealing your seat when you stand up.

Meet the Pets: Valor and Eclipse

GradSuccess Team Member: Samantha

You can find them enjoying attention and their favorite treats, carrots (although we hear apples and watermelons are also hits with them). Valor is a fifteen-year-old former racehorse and Eclipse is only one and a half and was born wild.

Meet the Pets: Rafu and T'Challa

GradSuccess Team Member: Hillary

You can find Rafu, thirteen years old, meowing loudly to show off his green cat pillow every morning. T’Challa, a hefty 15lbs, enjoys biting the ankles of passersby and keeping an eye on his mortal enemies the crows outside.

[Image Description: On the left, Rafu, an orange cat, looks dignified atop a pile of pillows. On the right, T’Challa shyly peeks at the camera from on top of a computer desk.]

Meet the Pets: Rayna and Maggie

GradSuccess Team Member: Brittany

You can find Rayna napping or walking in front of the camera during Zoom calls. Meanwhile, Maggie is more fond of hunting down household paper products to play with.
