I adopted him two years ago from a local breeding cattery, where he was being used as a breeder and show cat. Possum is a 12 year old calico persian male. A couple times a day he'll lose his mind and get the zoomies, but otherwise he's a real cuddle bug. He's still not sure about cats, but we're trying to teach him that cats are friends too. Dundee is still figuring the world out, which mostly involves trying to chew everything, but he's really smart and very friendly to dogs and people. He loves his alligator toy, thanks Aunt Lauren!, and he loved his owl toy so much that he destroyed it in two days. We saw him on a Craigslist post and got him from a nice couple whose dogs had puppies. Dundeeĭundee is an Australian Shepherd and he’s 12 weeks old. He takes treats very seriously, and he likes to use his paw to tap your eyelids, while you are asleep, for treats.anywhere between 11pm - 7 am. The other kittens got selected and Tinker was the last one left and that is how I got Tinker. I had the pleasure of knowing this family and they wanted to find perfect homes for all of the kittens because they could not keep them all. Since Tinker was born in late October, it was already cold, so his mom kept the kittens nested on the heated porch of the loving family that assumed care of her. Tinker's mom gave birth to Tinker and his four siblings on the shore of Lake Tillery. Since Tinker's mom was an indoor / outdoor cat, the loving humans next door provided Tinker's mom a new home base after her former humans left. Tinker's mom was abandoned by her human companions when they moved away from their home on Lake Tillery in Mt Gilead, NC, and left her behind, pregnant and alone. She demands attention and will scream in your ear from her perch on your shoulder if she is not given proper consideration. She is extremely social and loves making kissy noises. Lucy the parakeet is about 1 1/2 years old. She is about 9 weeks old and enjoys her stuffed squirrel toys, playing with her 6 year old human brother, and sleeping on people's heads. Daphne and Lucyĭaphne is a lab/beagle mix from the Pittsboro Farm Friends Rescue. Dinko was adopted from Carolina Animal Rescue and Adoption.
It took a while to get there, but Dinko and Archie are now close comrades who enjoy going on walks together and keeping a close eye on the neighborhood. Archie is a spicy 7-year-old buff tabby who loves climbing screen doors and windows, being adored, and starting trouble. Dinko and Archieĭinko is a 3-year-old mutt with a heart of gold who loves sniffing leaves, doing zoomies, and attempting to play with his brother Archie. She carries her duck around the house and we never know where it will show up. Vi's life expectancy is probably not great, FLV is hard on kittens but for now she is very healthy and absolutely adorable. Vi is positive for feline leukemia and had to have an ulcerated eye removed so she looks like she has a permanent wink. She was adopted from the Wake County SPCA in August. Cuteness factor - very high her tongue sticks out a lot as she had to have her bad teeth removed.Īnna's friend Violet is 9 months old. Anna will be 12 in April she loves her walks and is pretty spry for such an old gal. She was saved by Peak Lab Rescue and we adopted her after she was spayed.
Please consider adopting through an animal rescue organization! Anna and VioletĪnna is a yellow lab who was dropped off at a high kill shelter, age 11 after having many litters.

Academic Departmental Library RepresentativesĪt this time of year, when people are turning their minds toward Thanksgiving, we thought it would be fun to share something that we’re thankful for: our pets! Whether they’re just starting out in life or have crossed over the rainbow bridge, we’re thankful for the love and joy they bring into our lives (even when they drive us a little crazy).Chancellor's Faculty Excellence Program.
