Embedded Files
Every month The Raven's Call will feature the beloved pets of the various departments at LDH. This month it's all about baby animals (and a few others)!
Benji - Ms. Brennan
Benji - Cavapoo (part Cavalier and part mini-poodle. Benji was two months old in this picture. He is now almost 5 years old and still loves digging in our flower beds!
Gracie - Trace
This photo was taken when Gracie was 3 months old. Gracie is now 5 years old and is spoiled rotten.
Moose - Ms. King
Mr. Moose is a dachshund/beagle cross who turns 8 next week! He is goofy and cuddly and loves to eat. He was sooo tiny as a pup- he could fit in my hands. He uses ramps to get up on furniture and is the best security for squirrels in the backyard! ♥️
BlackBerry - lovingly called Berry, Double B, Sweet B - Ms. Kutyma, Ms. K
This is my daughter's new kitten - she's wanted a best fur friend for a long time. He's so cute, full of cuddles and purrs non stop. He loves to chase his laser pointer, hang out on his cat tree looking out the window and snuggling.
Yukon - Mr. Z
Yukon is a goofy floof who is 4 years old but acts like a toddler. His hobbies include belly rubs and finding unique new sprawling positions on the floor.
Argyll and Kipper - Ms. Robinson
They are West Highland Terriers who love to play ball and chase squirrels.
Fig
Fig is a Polydactyl Cat, which means he has extra toes. In fact, he has one extra toe on each of his front feet and two extra toes on each of his back feet.
Nacho - Mrs. McCracken
Nacho is a Havanese dog, born and raised in Thunder Bay, Ontario. He was adopted by my family in 2023 and loves chewing on bones, going for walks, playing in the snow, and getting lots of snuggles. Nacho is tall for his breed, and stands 2 inches taller than the average Havanese! His full name is Ignacio, inspired by the character from Better Call Saul, but he usually just goes by Nacho for short.
Moridin - Mrs. McCracken
Moridin is a Ball Python who has just joined my family on Easter Weekend. He is 8 months old, and curious about his new home. Despite being mostly white he is not albino, as that would also cause pink eyes. Instead, he is something called Piebald, which means that the white pigment covers his normal pattern in some places, but not all.
Harley (Australian Shepherd), Nala & Simba - Mrs. Richard-Green
Harley Quinn is a miniature Australian Shepherd. She is just a little over 1.5 years old now but the pictures are around when we brought her home (8-10 weeks) and is a herding breed. She is SMART and always finding trouble to get into. The cats are Simba (white & orange) and Nala (white/orange/brown tabby), who turned 2 last week. They were terribly unimpressed when we brought home the puppy to join them, but Simba has come around to having a new playmate. Nala still thinks this was all a terrible mistake ;-)
Audrey and Hank - Ms. McVeigh
Audrey is 5 years old and will loudly bark at anyone who isn't in her family. Hank is 2 years old and wants every single person he sees to shower him in pets and cuddles. They spend most of their time cuddled up on the couch together.
Bruin - Ms. Bech
This is Baby Bruin! He was just barely eight weeks old here; now, he's an 84lb tank!
Juno - Ms. Bertels
Juno is an 8 year old English Springer Spaniel who loves to play ball, chase (and occasionally catch) squirrels, go for long walks and hang out with his family.
Ruby - Mr. Leduc
Ruby is a 5 year old mini Schnauzer. She's full of energy and loves going for hikes.
Emily Chickenson - Mrs. Michielin
Emily Chickenson is a 5 week old Rhode Island Red chicken whose favourite pastime includes, but is not limited to, posing for the camera!
Nina - Ms Field
Nina is a Potcake (mixed breed island dog). We adopted her from a rescue in St Lucia. Nina is almost 2 years old and loves running, cheese & tuna, and eating my kids' toys and socks!
Bandit - Ms.Carter
Bandit is four years old, and a rascal! He is super loveable but loves to wake us up at all hours of the night! Good thing he is extremely cute.
Higgins - Mr. Douglas
Higgy was the runt of the litter. The breeder where we got him said he'd only grow up to be about 35 pounds (less than half the weight of a full grown lab). Higgy surprised us by growing up to be a big boy for a lab. He's 80 pounds; a large lab. He's a giant goofball and loves his family very much.
Sprinkle - Mme Savoie
Sprinkle is a one year old playful snuggly lap dog.
Luna - Mrs. Sloan
Luna just turned 5! She is a blue heeler. She loves her herding ball, going on walks and swimming!
About 6 months ago, a neighbour was out walking Leo and told me she no longer wanted this perfect little sock stealing, stuffy stealing, beautiful baby. I had no plans to get a dog, but guess I was in the right place at the right time because I’ve gained a new best friend. He’s truly the best!
Leo - Ms Robertson
Henry
Henry runs to me when called. He will come right into our house and snoop under the couch and coffee table. You can gently pet him when feeding him. He is careful not to chomp down on my fingers when literally stuffing himself with peanuts.
Mr. Fitch
Sweety
My feathered friend is Sweety. She's a sucker for free food. Sweety actually has a lot in common with Henry, I'm guessing.
