Pack Pets

We all know that one of the best parts of learning and working from home is the extra time we get to spend with our furry family members!

Let's meet a few more of our honorary "wolves."

Gracie the greyhound is an excellent lounger when she isn’t stealing snacks and sips of her mom's tea (CMM administrative assistant Kelly Cuppett) off the coffee table.

Sadie

Brand new Pack member Sadie, just adopted last week from the St. Francisville Animal Shelter, made her campus debut yesterday when she joined her new mom, MarComm's Hollie Garrison, to oversee some banner installation and say a quick hello to campus photographer Kyle Encar in the Mercy parking lot.

Gus

Gus is quiet but definitely not shy about letting CMM recruitment coordinator Gloria Hill know that the day is over and it's time to go for a roll. (Yup, Gus has his very own little wheelchair for long outside walks!)

Gracie

Pack Pets: Odette

This week's Pack Pet is Odette, a beloved 15-year-old, three-legged rescue mutt. She lives near campus with Hollie Garrison, Art Director in the Office of Marketing and Communications, and although her human has technically been working from home for a few weeks, Odette still insists on spending many of her early mornings and late afternoons hopping around Loyola's grounds, guarding Palm Court against foraging squirrels and windblown litter.
