These Are The Pets of Our Lives Meet The IN's Beloved Staff Pets
In general, the IN staff are pet people. It's not a requirement for getting hired or anything, it just sort of worked out that way. Our mutual love for our pets fuels a lot of our office banter most mornings and served as the primary inspiration for putting together this Pet Issue. So, of course, we had to take up some time (and valuable page space) and show some love to our personal pets. And yes, we did take professional studio photos of each pet, so if you know any of us personally get ready to see these photos again and again on Facebook, holiday cards and maybe even a coffee mug or two… Photos by Samantha Crooke
My name is: Tucker My mom is: Joani Delezen, Production/Website/Advertising Manger & A&E Editor She loves me because: I've got those classic puppy dog eyes. How I spend my time: Watching “The Newsroom” on HBO, napping and playing tug of war with my main man Forrest. My best trick is: My "gimme a treat" dance that includes spinning around and dropping it low. I'm also real gassy—it's not a trick per se, but it does entertain Joani from time to time. I don't always get treats, but when I do I like: Turkey bacon
My name is: Sake My mom is: Samantha Crooke, Art Director & Photographer She loves me because: I give everyone kisses on the mouth, even strangers. How I spend my time: Plotting ways to sneak food from my human baby brother, Donovan. My best trick is: Catching bubbles mid-air. I don't always get treats, but when I do I like: Please, I get treats all the time, but ice is my all time favorite.
My name is: Elvis My sister is: Jennie McKeon, Staff Writer & Office Manager She loves me because: I let her hold me up like Simba in "The Lion King" How I spend my time: Flirting My best trick is: I can do aerobics. I don't always get treats, but when I do I like: Anything in sight
My name is: Charlie My dad is: Ed Banacia, Freelance A&E Columnist He loves me because: I dig beautiful holes in the backyard. They're works of art really, but also functional storage space for his flip-flops. I'm so thoughtful. How I spend my time: Well, when I'm not digging those holes he loves, I'm usually scouting around for something to eat. I like to taste everything my dad eats, just to make sure it’s good enough for him. My best trick is: Retrieving things. Duh. I don't always get treats, but when I do I like: BACON!
My name is: Marlin (named after a White Marlin) My mom is: Kate Peterson, Freelance A&E Writer She loves me because: I'm courteous and loving, and just want to be in your lap How I spend my time: Chillin', going to the camp and swimming in the river My best trick is: Giving a high five I don't always get treats, but when I do I like: Fresh Yellowfin Tuna scraps (but really, I get 'em all the time)
My name is: Baby Red My mom is: Hana Frenette, Freelance A&E Writer She loves me because: I try to sleep on her head at night and I'm really cute. How I spend my time: Lounging atop bookcases, attacking anything with feathers on it, and hiding in shoeboxes and laundry baskets My best trick is: Jumping really high and biting people a little when they pet my belly I don't always get treats, but when I do I like: Turkey, from the deli. None of that prepackaged crap.
