Our Animal Team

Meet our Animal Team! Our Animal Team includes the pets of our teachers and students. For each member of this team, there is a picture of the animal and what they do at The Thinking Kid (completely made up, of course). We're happy to have these pets as a part of the team!

Bucky Barnes is a Bordoodle. He is super sweet and loves to snuggle! Bucky loves to run and play with his family, especially if they are playing fetch!

Caesar: CPO (Chief Plant Obliterator)

This little guy does all the hard work in the office, lovingly giving credit to his owners. I think he’s vegetarian. He thinks our garden is a salad. If he’s not vegetarian, he’s just eating all of the plants for fun. :(

Hobbes: The Definition of Puppy Cuteness

Hobbes is the definition of puppy cuteness in my opinion. He is very distractive when it comes to needing to work on something. When I'm supposed to be working on an assignment, I usually end up doing it twenty minutes later. He will curl up in your lap with a toy and will not leave until you stand up and he tumbles out of his seat.

Lucky: Most Loyal Friend

Lucky doesn’t need an official position, because he’s just a great guy. Not the smartest bulb on the tree, but definitely the nicest guy around.

Penny: Web Design

Our irregular web design part-timer. Remember that one time you ended up on The Thinking Kid’s Error 404 page? That was Penny’s fault. She’s new.

Pet-sat by Esther B from Maryland

Rosie: CFO (Chief Food Obliterator)

If there is food, Rosie will eat it. Don’t try to eat food if Rosie is around, because it will be obliterated. She loves food, chasing cats, and barking at anyone who comes through the door.

Stuart: Head of Disciplinary Department for Baaad Students

If you thought the old saying "the grass is greener on the other side" was true for you, it’s definitely true for Stuart. No matter where I set him up on the lawn, he always wants the grass that’s just out of reach, the trees that are a little too tall, and the grass the other goat has. Stuart expresses his dissatisfaction through headbutting.

The Fish Company: Virtual Field Trip Testers

These guys love testing virtual field trips to decide whether or not to offer them at The Thinking Kid. Their favorites are the ones from the Texas State Aquarium.

Tiger: Com-meow-nications Specialist

Tiger promotes open, continuous feedback on whether she has received enough pats and attention today (she has not). She's passionately committed to The Thinking Kid’s mission of providing affordable, world-class pats to anycat, anywhere. Her hobbies include napping in the sunshine, playing with her kittens, and experimenting with kitchen counter parkour.

Quackerton: Registration

Quackerton loves seeing names from different places and making a mini-map of where all the registrations are coming from. She creates rosters to send to teachers and helps prepare welcome emails. She supports The Thinking Kid’s mission to promote sustainability and vocalizes her support with loud quacks.

Buddy: Language Interpreter

Buddy is the language interpreter. He understands Cat, Dog, French, English, Turkish, Pigeon, Horse, Turkey, Japanese, did we already say cat? He never stops working unless we tell him to.

Stoic: The Crazy One

Stoic is an Australian Shepherd. His bark is high pitched, and both his eyes are half blue and half brown! He is so crazy, every time you wake up in the morning he would run then jump on you it's the same when you come home. He likes to play a lot. If we bring him outside for two hours then bring him inside, he would be ready to go back outside in under five minutes!

Skye: The Barker

Skye is an English Shepherd. She likes to bark a lot, and she is also very very lazy. She is always barking while we eat, while we do school, while we try to watch movies or shows, and a lot more! She is also very lazy, she lies around all day in the office while I'm doing school, she also likes to push us with her nose when she wants attention (which is all the time), and she sometimes tries to lay on top of us just like our other dog does (Stoic).

Orange: The Biter

Orange really likes to bite us, if we put our hand in the tanke he will try to bite us, if we try to pick him up he tries to bite us! It's like he thinks we are his food. It's really scary when we feed him: as soon as he sees the mouse, he jumps up and grabs it really fast. It looks like he's going to jump out of the tank!

He likes laying in the sun, playing with snakes, and meowing at you till you change out his water.

Kahaya

My cute, cuddly, and sleepy puppy Kayaha is great in the break room and the reason that there are no more donuts in the breakroom.

Pair

Pair is a cute dwarf hamster who enjoys his time underground sleeping. So if you ever see a hole in the wall, don't cover it up: leave a bowl of almonds right next to it.
