Chronicle Critters: Part Three

Welcome back to the Chronicle Critters, featuring the furry, the scaly, and the feathery! This edition includes three very different and loving puppies (even if one of them is technically a senior).

—

First to be featured comes from Alexander Clauson, a freshman education major.

Since Clauson was in second grade, Toby has been his best friend or his “puppy brother” as he likes to call his four-legged companion. Toby was rescued from a kill shelter and is now celebrating his fifteenth year around the sun. This furry ball of love even has a heart shaped spot on his side to show how loving he is. Toby is so loved by his family and he even has a bag with his picture on it. Toby loves walks, Milk Bones—all good boys do—and looking out the window until Clauson comes home. 

“He doesn't have a doggie coat or fancy food, but he does have a whole lot of love,” said Clauson. “I hope Toby's story reminds other pet owners of how love is what makes pets happy.”

Look out here comes Muffin, the furry companion of Trevor Callahan, theatre office manager and director of digital media.

This is Muffin. She’s a sweet little girl that was rescued from Centenary’s loading dock in October. She also loves naps and spending time with her owners.

Next to be put into the spotlight is Jodi Lanka’s—sophomore communication major—precious little gremlin.

This happy little gremlin is Izzy. Born on September 19, 2020, she is now five years old. Izzy is a fawn French Bulldog with a comedic personality and the drama of a silent film. She loves to snort like a little lawnmower and cuddle like it's her job. Along with being a big fan of treats, she loves sunbeams, sprinting after balls, getting zoomies, and warm blankets. She's therapeutic when you're sad. Izzy is a loyal, expressive, and theatrical dog who takes offense to cleaning products that move like vacuums and brooms.

Last but not least is Ava Battle’s—first-year transfer Psychology major—courageous curly critter Cosmo.

This is Cosmo. His unique flare is Shih Tzu/Poodle mix (aka Shih-Poo). Cosmo has a story that reminds us all to keep persevering. His two back legs were once paralyzed, but after a year of rehab, this little buddy was able to get his mobility back. He can now go anywhere his little heart desires and doesn’t even need a mobility aid.
