Lives with: Nicole Maunsell, communications manager in the Faculty of Management

听
Sidney Crosby
What:听Sid is a听 6 month short haired domestic kitten. He鈥檚 spunky, playful and yet very affectionate. He loves to eat Veggie Sticks, chicken, salmon and just about anything else that falls on to the floor from a dinner plate lol! He loves chewing on our daughters barbie shoes and scratching the stair runner like it鈥檚 a scratching post. But he鈥檚 our fur baby and we love him to pieces.
Lives with:听Jamie Croon, Financial Services, Accounts Payable
Ideal gift: As Sid is relatively new to our family we are still getting to know him. However, Sid would really like a day full of delicious soft food instead of the crunchy, hard to chew stuff. He would like some more soft toys to chase around the house. He would really love to have all day snuggles.
Suzy
What: 2-year-old mini dachshund
Lives with: Laurel Munroe, Director of Communications and Public Relations with Communications, Marketing and Creative Services
Ideal gift: Suzy would like Santa to bring her a bucket full of yellow Kong tennis balls (size S) and lots of cheese.
听
Clyde and Puffy
What: Our two cats, Clyde (left) and Puffy (right) 鈥 name chosen by our daughter. Clyde is 8 years old and enjoys sleeping close to anything that produces heat. Puffy is 3 years old with a lot of fur and we consider him our Covid cat because we took him in as a stray during the lock down in the spring of 2020. He enjoys snuggling with our daughter and wrestling with Clyde.
Lives with:听Graham Denman, CTS, technician 鈥 Classroom Technologies, Academic Technology Services, University Libraries
Ideal gift: The ideal gift for them would be Fancy Feast cat food. They are both crazy about getting their serving canned food in the morning so they would especially enjoy the good stuff!听 听
Sampson
What: Three year old Tuxedo cat.
Lives with: Alyssa Frost, HR advisor, Faculty of Medicine
Ideal gift: This is Sampson鈥檚 first year being around a Christmas Tree and I think it鈥檚 safe to say that he鈥檚 the cutest gift under my tree this year! Sampson鈥檚 ideal gift is a new 鈥渂all with a bell鈥 to play with in the bathtub. He chases the ball around the tub and when it inevitably falls in the drain, it鈥檚 the ultimate reward to dig it back out (and repeat). Keeps him entertained for hours.听
Ginger
What: A one year old Golden Doodle.
Lives with:听Shanna Trenaman, postdoctoral fellow in the Department of Medicine
Ideal gift: Ginger would love a pool to go swimming in!

Lives with: Owen MacDonald, Financial Services Cashier
Ideal gift: For Christmas this year, Larry would like more of his favorite toys, which are little pom pom balls, to make up for all the ones he has lost under the stove! Lol!
