Welcome to the latest R.I.S.E. Pets’ Corner, our editor’s favourite feature each and every issue! We hope you enjoy the cute wellbeing boost from these furry animal friends.
Jerry
Running at lightning-fast speed is my life’s purpose and it takes a lot of work to be the Usain Bolt of the dog world. My main focus is diet (anything edible will do; doesn’t matter whether the wrapper is on or off) and my other main focus is to make sure my running muscles get enough recovery time (14 hours of sleep per day on a soft bed is ideal!). As my side-hustle, I also bring joy to everyone I meet, as I’m calm, laid back and love to make friends.

Yuki
Yuki
I actually fostered Yuki in lockdown last year, so when I saw her come up for rehoming in the summer I knew we were a perfect match. I had recently left my post as a KS2 teacher as the demands of teaching had taken a toll on my mental health, and my new working from home role at Twinkl has meant that Yuki and I have been able to re-build our confidence and work on managing our anxiety together. Now I can’t imagine life without this timid little ball of floof!
Pippin
Pippin is a mischievous boy from the Azores in Portugal. Although he likes his independence and will happily throw around his toys (or stolen socks) or sleep in strange places, when he does want attention, he will bat at you with his paw till you give him a scratch. He is very clever (maybe too clever) and as well as knowing lots of tricks he also knows when you’re feeling a bit down or stressed and will come snuggle up to you on the sofa to make you feel better!

Charlie
Luna and Charlie
Charlie and Luna were both adopted from the RSPCA. Charlie is three years old and Luna is 5 months. Charlie was adopted for me to help my wellbeing and both of my gorgeous cats bring me so much joy and happiness. They are fun, love cuddles and both love playing!

Wilson and Barney
Wilson and Barney are rescue dogs from the streets of Bosnia and Croatia. They now spend their days sleeping on me while I work and head butting me for a stroke during meetings.

Charlie
Charlie
Charlie (aka Hoolie Blue) is a naughty kitten who breaks things and tears around the house demanding play time and food. He’s a loveable handful of mischief.

Cosmo
Cosmo is a super friendly cat. He enjoys squeezing himself onto chess boards, sliding numicon along the floor and playing with dice. Cosmo, where is my white knight? I know it was you…

Daisy
Oscar
Daisy and Oscar
Daisy and Oscar are Continental Giant rabbits. They still have a lot of growing to do so they eat a lot! They especially love banana chips! They climb up on us, sit with us and join us in the living room in the evenings for some fussing. They love creating havoc by running round and chasing each other all through the house and garden. They are full free roaming spoiled bunnies!

Dio
Dio is such a character, he can act like a grumpy old man or a little puppy. He pretends to have beautiful manners but if you leave the room he’ll search out any food! He escaped and visited the local Co-Op on his own recently, I really fell out with him that day! I can’t be cross with him for long though. Everyone loves Dio.
