Thanks to all the faculty, staff and students who have submitted photos of their furry friends getting into the holiday spirit.
Want to join in? You can find details at the bottom of this post on how to sumit your own photos.
We'll have new pets to showcase each day this week, with a vote on Best Dressed Pet next Monday.Ìý
Hattie
What: Ravenous furry food monster disguised as a chocolate field Labrador.
Lives with: Full-time personal assistants, Hannah Pugh and Allan Thomson, from the Faculty of Agriculture's International office and Engineering Department.
Ideal gift: Hattie would love a well-aged tenderized deer carcass for Christmas, or really anything to eat. Definitely no hats, though. Despite her name, Hattie hates hats and all outfits, so here is her hating our favourite Christmas tradition of having her dressed up for a Christmas card, which we then send to family and friends.

Ideal gift: George would like some compliments on his bow tie, followed by some treats and a nice long snuggle. He also loves naps, insect friends, and warm radiators, and ironically, is terrified of guitars. Ìý
