WFH | Gallery: Even more photos of employees' pets and children

I'm a newly appointed postdoctoral researcher with the Blankinship Lab. I spent my first official day of work at my kitchen bench workstation! Here is a snap of my kitty, Pepper, who seems to love the fact that I'm working from home, and hasn't left my side. I think that engaging with our fur babies at this time is so important to minimize the social isolation. – Kirsten Ball, research specialist in the Department of Environmental Science

The dog is Cooper and the cat is Kit. :) – Kori Beck, student academic specialist in Academic Administration

I thought I would share my precious new co-worker. Here is Cosita reporting for duty! The new girl is a bit of a diva – she demands attention and is constantly hiding in a blanket taking a nap. – Amanda Burkey, administrative assistant in the Division of Human Resources

This is Diva, and she is very happy to have me at home during the day now, as you can see. However, I now know that she does climb up on the kitchen counters during the day … between her numerous naps of course!

Boy, was I wrong. – Susanna Cota-Robles, marketing specialist in the Indigenous Peoples Law and Policy Program at the James E. Rogers College of Law

I do work from home quite effectively, but as an entomologist who works on public health pests, bringing work home has not usually involved an entire array of living arachnids.

Gouge, extension specialist and professor of entomology in the Department of Entomology and the Maricopa Agricultural Center

Perkins, assistant finance director in the Arizona Area Health Education Centers program

I'm attaching a picture of my home "office assistant" – he's a poodle named Fenway. And yes, we are Red Sox fans! He has been sleeping on the job, so we have had a few career-coaching conversations about his behavior and ongoing expectations. On the flip side, Fenway loves to deliver toys when I ask him for a glass of water! – Linda L.H. Ross, administrative associate in the Office of Institutional Research
