We haven’t done it all alone! As we work on Width by Height, we have had help from the furry friends we’ve met through petsitting. Sometimes it’s a day, a week, or even a month that they’ve been by our side, cheering us on. In recognition and thanks for all they’ve done, we’ve named our placeholder frames after them.
Stetson
Stetson has shown us that it can feel good to take a minute and let all that extra energy out. Embrace the zoomies!
Stetson will periodically have a wild burst of energy and bounce on and off the couch in rapid succession. It’s a sight to be seen.
Beulah
Beulah knows what she likes and isn’t afraid of the chase. She’s shown us that it’s good to go after what you want.
Beulah loves belly rubs and chasing laser pointers. She is never shy to ask for either. She’s in 100% and is the most tenacious laser chaser we’ve met.
Filbert
Filbert knows that the best offense is a good defense. Sometimes taking a step back will get you further.
Filbert likes to get in on the laser pointer chase but is reluctant to get too exposed. You’ll find him speeding forward and just as suddenly, speeding backwards.
Stahle
Stahle values staying fueled. It’s important to be open to all snacks so that you can keep up your energy throughout the day.
Stahle recently passed and we miss him supervising our cooking and helping with cleanup.
Wyette
Wyette doesn’t let her petite size hold her back. She’s taught us to take your space and let your voice be heard.
Wyette is the size of Stahle and Copper’s toys! But while she is small, she isn’t shy about letting her presence be known.
Copper
Copper doesn’t let anything slip by. It’s critical to the pack that if you see something, you say something.
Copper likes to sing along with emergency sirens and let everyone know what’s going on outside the window.
Ferguson
Ferguson knows the importance of rest and sleep. Sometimes all you need is a nap in the sun to recharge.
Ferguson loves curling up on the top of the couch and melting in the sun.
Eileen
Eileen likes to keep tabs on what’s going on. We agree that it’s a good policy to watch for and prevent problems before they arise.
Eileen likes to peek over the top of the couch and watch what’s going on in the neighborhood. If there’s any suspicious or rambunctious activity, she’ll let you know.
Debra
Debra believes in doing what makes you happy. She’s right! Life is best when you get to do what you enjoy.
Debra will happily make herself comfortable on that pile of papers you’re reading or turn your head into a footstool. She’s sassy, unapologetic, and delightful.
Gort
Gort likes to get down, roll around, and look up. Getting a new perspective and seeing things from the bottom-up can be very helpful.
Gort loves being outside. You’ll often catch him in the grass with his feet up in the air.
Max & Mila
Max and Mila have shown us that two heads are better than one. It’s easier to get through tough spots together.
Max and Mila are often found side-by-side, snuggled up together.
Bernie
Bernie likes to show his appreciation and he doesn’t hold back. He’s taught us that you should be generous with thanks and let people know how much you appreciate them.
Bernie loves to give kisses. He’s sweet and loving and will cover you in smooches.
Syndra
Syndra likes to get up above it all and look down on what’s going on. Changing how you see things can be really helpful.
Syndra loves to climb trees. You’ll often find her high up in a tree looking down on you.
Coco & Bella
Coco and Bella know that you need to be ready to catch opportunities when they come. Be open to possibilities, get out in the world, and if you have good fortune, share it with others.
Coco and Bella are quite the huntresses and when the weather is just right, you might wake up to a surprise frog or worm! Sadly Coco passed away and she will be missed.
Bailey
Bailey loved getting outside and enjoying the fresh air. She knew that a little nature and breeze can be a welcome break in the day.
Bailey is no longer with us, but our memories of her enjoying the outdoors (in all weather) will stay with us.
We hope you enjoy learning a little bit about our furry friends and the namesakes behind our placeholder frames.
If you have any questions or stories for us, we’d love to hear from you.
