Zoom, 3 years
Mengyao Shi
Zoom is a chocolate golden british shorthair who is really sweet and gentle. Fun fact about Zoom’s name: he really liked chasing his toys and running very fast when he was a kitten, just like ‘zzzzoom’; also, I adopted him in 2021 during COVID, a time when I used Zoom a lot for my online classes 🙂
La’jiao the Lady Pepper, 7 years
Ruiyi Tian
La’jiao the Lady Pepper is a 10lb mini poodle with a personality (dognality) like a spicy pepper. She is smart and can drive. She enjoys eating beef jerky, defeating other mini poodles to be the queen, and sleeping under the bed.
Xiang’ye the Lady Basil, 6 years
Ruiyi Tian
Xiang’ye the Lady Basil is a 14lb Shih Tzu but identifies as a guardian of the galaxy with the power of sonic screams. No one has ever met her, but everyone knows her voice. She enjoys cheese sticks, naps, hikes, belly rubs, talking on Zoom calls for me, and judging my neighbors.
Billy, 13 weeks
Yin Cao
Billy is the newest member of the Cao/Bai family! When he’s not asleep, he’s incredibly active!
Mochi (shushu), 1 year
Duo Ren
Mochi is a Golden hamster. His previous owner left St. Louis, so I became his new owner! Mochi is very cute and lively. He loves running on his “treadmill” at night, nibbling on corn kernels, and grooming himself.
Pip, 2 years
Melania Boker
Pip is always up for an adventure! He’s a bit clumsy and not the best jumper, but it’s all part of his unique charm. His favorite pastime? Sitting in on Zoom meetings and adding a touch of class to every call.
Silver “银子”, 6 months
Yi Kang
A precious winter white coat hamster 🐹 who loves corn, freeze-dried strawberries, freeze-dried figs, sunflower seeds, and other nuts. He has a super soft, cotton-like coat and loves climbing the cage and running in his ball! But he weighs 82g!!! Currently working on weight loss… Never thought I would apply my physical therapy background to my pet. 😂
