Teacher's Pet: Chris's Ace Frehley

Think you're a teacher's pet? You got nothing on our furry pals. This month, we introduce you to Ace Frehley, one of Chris's two scrumptious feline companions. 

Pet name: Ace Frehley

Age: 5 months

Background: Pasadena Humane Society & SPCA said I'm a Siamese mix and that my sister, Clarice Starling and I were strays that came in with a bunch of kittens. 

Likes: hanging out, playing fetch, napping, terrorizing the humans while they sleep. 

Dislikes: heavy audible breathing in my personal space. 

Special abilities/tricks: sometimes I make dinosaur sounds when I'm excited. 

Favorite toy: anything noisey, shiny, crinkley. preferably in the shape of a ball I can swat all over the house.

Favorite place to sleep: under the bed or beneath mom's makeup desk.

Favorite way to be bad: eating plants that I know I shouldn't. 

Favorite way to be good: snuggling with the fam.

Favorite words: I prefer love bites.

Favorite yoga pose: eka pada sirsasana or leg behind the head pose. 

Teacher's Pet: Shoshana's Dory

This month, we celebrate Teacher's Pet "Dory"! Her human is our teacher, Shoshana. Shoshana and her hubby, Mike, live in Highland Park in a serene home with their fur babies. Here is the story of one of them.

Pet name(s):  Dory

Age: 2.5 years old

Background:  We got her from Kitten Rescue. (Hooray, Shoshana for saving another life!)

Likes: She loves to lick! She is a crazy licker! My husband was just joking that if she wrote a memoir it would be about all the things she has licked. She also loves to pounce on our 12 year old cat, even though he clearly does not want to play. She loves to eat! So much so that she wakes us up every morning at about 5:30am for breakfast. She loves to participate in my macrame making -playing and chomping on all the strings. She also loves being involved in my yoga practice, usually trying to catch my braid or earrings when I'm in Downdog.

Dislikes: She sadly dislikes being picked up and held. We still try, but it's almost always met with lots of wriggling :(

Special abilities/tricks: She's really good at being super cute and melting our hearts. She's also really good at darting around the house super fast and doing kitty gymnastics.

Favorite place to sleep: She loves to sleep on our dog's bed, which is super cute since it's huge and she is so little. He's so polite and just lets her. We can't wait to catch them snuggling together.

Favorite way to be bad: Her favorite way to be bad is to jump on the kitchen counters and eat our food. We are still trying to train her not to go on the counters, rather unsuccessfully.

Favorite way to be good: She is an amazing snuggler and has very special flopping abilities. When she honors us with her snuggles we will sit still for quite a while to drink in the love.

Namaste, Dory!

This month, our Teacher's Pet is Flapjack! His human is our teacher Bethany. We asked Bethany to tell us some things about this adorable little pup.

Pet name: Flapjack Haywire Eanes
Age: 6-1/2ish
Background: Flapjack is a rescue from the Carson Shelther, which is why we don't really know his age. It is also why his ribs stick out and his legs are crooked.
Likes: Walking, pooping, eating, Sebastian (our gray tabby) & Momma
Dislikes: Rain, hot weather & Jerome (our orange tabby)
Special abilities/tricks: Really good at lumping around and being a snuggle bug; excellent ear-growing skills
Favorite toy: Sebastian
Favorite place to sleep: On Momma's lap
Favorite way to be bad: "When I hungry I bite yo face!"
Favorite words: Hungry, Squirrel
Favorite yoga pose: Mobile Up Dog, which is where he comes to up dog first then drags himself around like a seal while begging for food

Namaste, Flapjack!
