Django Hi! My name is Django. I’m the time keeper of Zoom meetings—I let my human know he needs to stop working and take me for a walk. My humans like to dress me up in clothes. They think it’s funny… I’m not so sure.
Nugget Hello. My name is Nugget. I’m the shy, quiet one. I’m the eldest of the group but I still act like a puppy. I love to sniff everything when I’m out on a walk. One day, my humans let me off my leash at a dog park and it took them ages to catch me because I ran too fast.
Leo Hello, I’m Leo! I’m the meeting interrupter of Zoom meetings. I bark loudly and scare everyone around me. I don’t mean to scare them; I’m just trying to protect them from noises outside. I love making new friends, stuffed toys (especially if they squeak), and lots of cuddles, but I really do not like baths.
Beni Hi! I’m Beni! I’m the one who interrupts in-person meetings by running up to them for cuddles while I’m out for a walk. I love to go on walks! I also love to make new friends and lots of cuddles. But the thing I love the most is snacks!
