While we’ve introduced many of the newer members of our department over the last month, there’s a very-important group that has been consistently left out and forgotten… So in this issue of SNARL, we’d like you to meet those who make up a less-recognized but equally important part of our lives: The Pets of the Department!!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Gina – The Friendly Wanderer<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Owners: Eileen, Hazel, Livia<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

“This past academic year we welcomed Gina into our home. Gina has been the neighborhood cat wandering from house to house befriending anyone and everyone who will feed her for at least 6 years since she left her original owner’s home. We are very glad she has decided to stay with us and we are keeping in touch with her original owner as well who is grateful that she has a home again.”<\/span><\/p>\n

Marlo – The Queen<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Owner: Kristen<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

“Marlo and her sister are from the same litter, and they\u2019re 4 years old. The kids and I took a trip out to Chicago, and at the end of the trip, rented a car, visited the breeder where I got my first beagle Maggie out in the cornfields of Illinois (back when I was a grad student at Northwestern), and flew them back to New Jersey. It was a very memorable experience! Marlo is the one with more freckles. (She doesn\u2019t really need the glasses.) She is the queen. She demands attention and sneaks the food from the pantry.”<\/span><\/p>\n

Marigold – The Sweetheart<\/strong><\/p>\n

Owner: Kristen<\/em><\/p>\n

Owner: Kristen<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

“The turtle is Raffi. He\u2019s my son\u2019s, but guess who gets to clean out the tank? \ud83e\udd22 He was a gift from his godmother (one of my friends). There\u2019s a story about where he came from that I can\u2019t even tell my son until he\u2019s older. It involves a Chinese takeout container, a few frantic phone calls, and Staten Island.”<\/span><\/p>\n

Tim – The Baby<\/strong><\/p>\n

Owner: Jill<\/em><\/p>\n

Echo – The Sonorous<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Owner: Jill<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

\"Black<\/span><\/p>\n

“Echo enjoys sleeping in the sun, planning grand escape strategies, and meowing loudly at birds. After his owners found him at a construction site, he adapted quickly to being a house cat, although he displays an intense preference for the taste of plastic and sheds enough to knit a blanket. Every day.”<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Kiwi – The Cynic<\/strong><\/p>\n

Owner: Jill<\/em><\/p>\n

\"Calico<\/p>\n

“Kiwi is a feral cat who was acquired by accident last winter, when Jill (very) mistakenly assumed she was a stray and hunted for her for two hours through a snow-covered park. Paranoid and possessing the intelligence of a small child, she will not touch any food not eaten by her brothers and hides behind breakable items to evade capture. Despite this, Kiwi has gradually settled into her new home and now prefers to sleep curled around her owners\u2019 heads at night. She also chirps.”<\/p>\n

Name:<\/em> Grover<\/span><\/div>\n
Year<\/em>: 6th (we think)<\/span><\/div>\n
Office<\/em>: the nearest available box<\/span><\/div>\n
Research Interests<\/em>:\u00a0 My current project examines the effects of near-daily predation on the local mouse and shrew populations.\u00a0 My preliminary findings suggest that they are not happy about it!\u00a0 Also, I like to watch birds.<\/span><\/div>\n
Other interests include<\/em>:\u00a0 napping on laps and\/or stomachs, asking for treats, asking to go outside, being a very good cat<\/span><\/div>\n

Owners: Ziling and Tatevik<\/em><\/p>\n

Aunty: Indira<\/em><\/p>\n

Godmother: Natasha<\/p>\n

Description: Our little bundles of joy and the reason we can’t get any work done at home. They\u00a0both love napping on top of homework assignments and ruining LaTeX documents by walking across the keyboard. When they run out of ways to distract us from working, Hannah passes time by chasing her own tale while Ava watches with embarrassment.<\/p>\n
