Welcome... and pet pictures! 🐈⬛ 🦜🐕 🐁
Welcome to the Watercooler, our new home for off-topic conversation and chat!
Let's kick it off with a thread we haven't had in a while: pictures of and stories about our pets - whether they're cats, dogs, mice, spiders, snakes, birds, plants, stuffed animals. ferrets, dragons.... share them all below.
I'll start by introducing my lineolated parakeet, Berry, whose hobby is definitely not flying. We open her cage all the time and she will sometimes cruise around a tiny bit, but her favorite thing to do is climb around her giant cage and ring her toy bells. She enjoys carrots, lettuce and apples but, ironically, not berries. 🤷🏻♀️
Please share your furry and feathered and scaly friends below!
In the next two weeks, the off-topic collection will be retired and its content migrated here. Kudos badges, such as those for Friday Fun and Miscellaneous Monday, will continue to work!

Well, we have Max (10 yr) and Bruno (3 yr).
Although I'm a dog person, I only have a virtual pet (my alter ego), the one and only
Garfield
But if I were to have a dog, it would either be a
Bernese Mountain Dog
or a

Meet Borisz, pictured here in home office pondering over Jira Issues.
This dopey little melt likes "helping" when I'm coding. Fortunately, Atlassian sent her a Cloudie to distract her.
Meet our beloved dog called Pasta - obviously, her breed is Bichon Bolognese:

This is Ricky, he's 15 now. He's a wire hair dachshund
This is Gizmo, he passed suddenly in early March 2023 at the age of 13.
There's a couple of cats around here too, but they don't stay still long enough for decent pictures. :)
Mojo has just joined us and is already at ease
Shem . o 0 (who are you?)
Here is my PURRRfect associate who's mastered the art of professional laziness during working hours. 😸 While I'm busy typing away, this furry troublemaker is taking power naps and leisurely stretching, without a care in the world! 🐾 Who needs deadlines when you have a cat coworker setting the pace? 😅 Their unmatched talent for relaxation is truly impressive. But hey, maybe I should take some notes from them and incorporate "cat nap breaks" into my work routine! 😹

Brooklyn (front) and Harlem (back) are my coworkers. Brooklyn is part Norwegian Forest Cat which is why she is such a huge calico at 16 lbs. Harlem is a normal size calico at 8 lbs. Brooklyn has been with us for almost 17 years now and is part lap dog. Harlem is 4 years old and her nickname is The Terrorist. Yes, she will answer to it.
