Meet Our Lab Members’ Furry Friends!
Romeo
Human: Katelyn Borba
Romeo is a 5 year old pit-mix. He is extremely friendly and energetic, but loves to sleep in on the weekends. His favorite food is carrots, and he loves having sleepovers at his grandmothers house so that she can spoil him with other yummy treats. Romeo is not a cuddler per say, but he is always willing to show a little extra love when his mom and dad are sick or upset. Katelyn also maintains the human named Julian also pictured.
George
Human: LG Rollins
George was born on Cleveland Street in Johnston and found his moms, LG and Katie, through a local cat rescue. He is only a few months old, but he has already shown great promise as a young scholar. He has a broad range of interests including feminist literature, entomology, and otter-ology. He shares LG's love of science and frequently assists with manuscript preparation when he isn't conducting experiments with water or house plants. However, given his near-obsession with pens and computer keyboards, we think he will take after his other mom, Katie, and become a writer.
Chessy
Human: Natasha Sokol
Chessy is a border collie/German shepherd/whippet mix (in other words, a small-to-medium short-haired black dog). What she lacks in size and pedigree, she makes up for in intensity and expressiveness. Though she has been described by some as "the weirdest dog I've ever met," Chessy actually enjoys many normal canine pursuits, including chasing squirrels, chewing sticks, digging holes, and passing judgment on others. By day, Chessy vigilantly watches neighborhood goings on, and by night she intently watches TV. Chessy's dream life involves a scenario where humans let her in and out of the house several times an hour all day long. In the real world, she's happy with a nice long hike in the woods, walk on the beach, or ball-chasing session. She likes to end the day with a good snuggle that includes clear verbal validation that she is the most special being in the world. She is doing a medium job of adjusting to her new human family member.
