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.
Harry – the distinguished gentlecat
“Look at this distinguished gentleman!” Harry, named after the famous Wizard due to the white colouring on his forehead, was adopted during lockdown which means he is hugely experienced in working from home and specialises in device management and monitoring (sitting on the keyboard). When not working, Harry enjoys making biscuits with his toe beans and testing the theory of, ‘If I fits – I sits’. Harry is also an influencer and can be found on LinkedIn sharing insights on NetSupport’s solutions.

Richard and Birgitte – the Duke and Duchess of Cosy Direct
Richard and Birgitte are now 1-year-olds and they got their names from the Duke and Duchess of Gloucester when they visited Cosy. They are super cheeky but equally love their fuss. Richard likes his ears being rubbed and Birgitte likes her chin being stroked. They are always playing together and love climbing on all of their equipment.
They like to escape from their pen occasionally when we try to get in – and go straight for the flowers! They love their grain but also love flowers and weeds. We have recently introduced some hanging balls that their hay can go in for enrichment which they really seem to enjoy both eating and butting!

Ren
Ren – fashionista
Ren is a 9-year-old red miniature pinscher based out of Orlando, FL. He was rescued in January 2019 in Washington state, and has since traveled the world with his mothers, Kourtney and Victoria. Ren loves adventure and fashion – he is rarely seen without a shirt, sweater, or jacket on him, and he is always ready to explore new areas. His favorite food is raspberries and his favorite activity is going on walks along lakes and beaches. He also enjoys being in virtual meetings and appearing on camera!

Pepper Anne – She who rules
Pepper Anne is the diva of the household and lives up to the tuxedo reputation. While she is a love bug and will happily cuddle with you and dominate your lap for hours, she is also bossy and opinionated. She loves to get chin scratches… but leave her belly alone! She’s not a big fan of her brothers and if I could read her mind, I’m sure she is constantly plotting how to get rid of them. Nicknames include Peppy, Pepp, Pepp-pepp, Bossy pants, Chunky girl, and ‘She who rules’.

Flo
Freyja
Flo and Freyja – little thieves
This is Flo (black polecat) and Freyja (albino ferret). We rescued them from Hockley Ferret Rescue after they had been abandoned on the roadside. If you haven’t spent time with ferrets, you need to add it to your list! Ferret means “little thief” in Latin and these two are always stealing things from my bag and stashing them under the sofa! When ferrets aren’t causing chaos, they are the best cuddlers – perfect after a long day in the classroom.

Pippa – lover of attention
Pippa is 2-years-old and loves the school run. She gets lots of fuss from the children and bounces along on her back legs with her front paws reaching out to everyone to make sure they pay her attention!

Peaches, Tiffin, Jammie Dodger and Frodo – adorable alpacas
With his huge dark eyes and beautiful reddish brown fleece, Frodo is a very handsome alpaca. His photo was taken immediately after the annual visit from the shearer.
Jammie Dodger is quite small for a male alpaca but what he lacks in stature he makes up for in personality – he really is a loveable rogue!
The photo of Peaches and Tiffin was taken when Tiffin was just a few days old, having a nuzzle with her doting mum, Peaches. Tiffin is Peaches’ first cria and she is proving herself to be an excellent mum.
