Pet Wellness Month at the Mount
“This is Hank. He is 2 years old, and his favorite activity is playing fetch with my dad. After my other dog, Daly Alley, passed away due to hip complications, my dad, who loves dogs, was heartbroken as Alley was one of his favorites. So, my siblings, my mom, and I decided to surprise my dad on Father’s Day by driving to Fredericksburg, Pennsylvania, to get him a new dog that he could be buddies with. We surprised him in the late afternoon on Father’s Day, and that’s when Hank became a part of our life. He’s the most special dog ever: the kindest, sweetest, and gentlest dog you could imagine. ” — Abigail Randall, Art major
“My best friend’s name is Misaki. He’s about 8 years old, and we’ve been through quite a lot together! He’s qualified as my emotional support animal, and he does a great job at it. Although meeting new people makes him extremely (and nonsensically) angry, once he warms up to someone, he becomes unstoppably obsessed with getting them to snuggle with him or giving affectionate headbutts. I tell him everyday that he’s ‘cute, sweet, and soft’ but he’s also ridiculous and falls very much into the stereotype of orange cats only having one brain cell.”
— Elysian Alder, Professional Writing major, Editor-in-Chief
“This is my fur-son, Mitt. Short for Mittens, but he doesn’t like his full name. Mitt is 13, but I got him from Craigslist when he was 10. He was shy at first, but over the years, he has gotten more comfortable meeting new people. Mitt enjoys lounging in the sun and the occasional catnip. We both enjoy snuggling and watching movies. Mitt had a hard life before he found his forever home, but he’s so happy to be the king of the castle.” — Mina Girouard
“This is Momo; he is one and a half years old. He came into our lives at two months old and loves waking me up every day at 3:45 AM, as if he were my daily alarm. Although there are days when I hate that he wakes me up so early, I love him very much.” — Ana Antunez
“My pet’s name is Oreo! She is 2 years old. I was blessed with Oreo when a friend of mine needed to find a new home for her. And ever since then, Oreo became my fur baby! Her favorite thing to do is to sunbathe and play with a laser pointer. She also goes crazy for treats!”
— Sabrina Alonso, Human Services major
“This is Rosy. She’s my two-and-a-half-year-old Pomsky (half Pomeranian, half Husky). Rosy is super sweet, and she loves to play and eat.” — Kent Yang, Computer Information Systems major
“I have a 16 year old Pekingese. His name is Teddy. Teddy has been there for me before I started using, the 7 years I was in non-stop active addiction, and the 4 years of watching me become the person he ALWAYS knew was in my soul all along. Teddy has been through hell and back himself, but most of all he has ALWAYS been there for me. He is one of the strongest best friends I’ve ever had.” — Amanda LeBlanc
