As we wrap-up National Pet Week, the On Our Minds team wanted to introduce you to our better halves - in other words, our favorite canine, feline and avian friends.
In celebration of the furry friends we love, here are a few favorite literary pets that our team adores:
Mike: "Ulysses from Flora and Ulysses.Who dosent' love a superhero pet squirrel that writes poetry?"
Morgan: Louie - Kristy Thomas' family Collie from The Baby-sitters Club
Jeremy: "Hedwig from the Harry Potter series, obviously!"
Anne: The title charcter from Socks by Beverly Clearly.
Alex: "Not so much a 'pet,' but I'd go with Chesire Cat" from Alice in Wonderland.
Josephine: The title character Kipper
Megan: Toto from The Wonderful Wizard of Oz
Gina: Crookshanks from Harry Potter series.
Deimosa: Bandit from Zane and the Hurricane and Buttercup The Hunger Games
In addition, meet some of our honorary OOM members. Introducing (from left to right):
- Renly, Jeremy's well-dressed cat
- Nylah, Brittany's outdoor-loving dog
- Paczki and Miss Prinds, Mike's trouble-making twin pups
Happy National Pet Week, everyone.
