Pets of RELX

Ashlynn Freestone [Reed Exhibitions] has a new favourite co-worker called Sabine (no offense to the rest of the ReedPop team.) She uses the morning sunspot that shines on Ashlynn's desk to advise her while she works on spreadsheets and uses the keyboard as a pillow for naps

Tinkabell is looking fabulous as always, even when she's relaxing. She reminds Robin Tapp [Reed Exhibitions] how important it is to stay looking sharp in lockdown

Nayla has been covering for Dineen Berni [LexisNexis Risk Solutions] when she takes a break from work. She always wants to help out by typing and rechecking Didi's work. What is she is going to do when Didi has to go back to the office next year?

Amanda Goncalves [Reed Exhibitions] has a new assistant, Kona

Jackie Brown has been a great co-worker for Paola Vega [Reed Exhibitions]. She has been chatting with Paola between calls and stopping her on the way to the restroom for coffee refills, just like her Reed coworkers. She is a bit of a “cat” dog and snoozes on the couch most of the day but makes sure Paola gets up from her desk in the afternoons for a long walk!

Solana Claudio-Albarran [Reed Exhibitions] has had Bob brighten up her time working from home by snuggling next to her whilst she is on calls or working through emails. Bob happily lounges most of the day, but periodically gets up for some play time. Seeing that reminds Solana to get up and take little breaks like he does, which she definitely needs!  

Lynn Palumbo [Reed Exhibitions] has had Dexter diligently helping her work on her cash flows

This is Juliet, the diva supreme. She has made a few meeting appearances, but thankfully hasn’t answered any emails yet! As you can see, she’s great at keeping Krista Majewski's [Reed Exhibitions] seat warm for her

Daisy has become an active participant in the LNLP mission by helping Neal Kennedy [LexisNexis] help customers get value from Lexis Advance

Caroline Herz [RELX] has had Bronx keep her company while working. He does not leave her side except when he curls up on the couch next to her workstation for a nap, where he can still keep an eye on her

Daisy has become an active participant in the LNLP mission to help promote the Rule of Law with Neal Kennedy [LexisNexis]

Cockatiels Bella (yellow) and Binky (grey and white) have been crucial in surviving Covid lockdown for Amanda Lines [Reed Exhibitions]. They are always ready for a cuddle and scratch on the head (them, not Amanda). Playing with pets always lightens Amanda's day, which is a lovely grounding, especially if it has been a tough day. They also join Amanda in the kitchen for coffee breaks, and sit down for lunch together. All of her work colleagues are used to them popping into conference calls, sitting on her head or shoulder, or having a little chatter in the background

Max has been great at helping Pam Sebastian [LexisNexis Risk Solutions] maintain a healthy a work-life balance. He has been taking her keyboard hostage for a session of kitty-yoga, one of his favourite ways of forcing her to take a break

Oliver has been a constant source of joy and comfort for Kim Fox [Reed Exhibitions]. To the point of being VERY impatient on a regular basis! Seeing Kim home all the time delighted him, which translated to: "Yay, more walks! More playtime! Don’t look at that computer look at me!"

Kahlua and Gracie have helped Julie Stockman [LexisNexis] stay healthy by taking over her desk chair which makes her use the stand up function of her desk

Mark Shewhart [LexisNexis] has had Charlie spending most of the day hanging around his office, and sometimes he is even engaged in Mark's work

Gabby is a Blue Fronted Amazon. This is her usual perch when Shannon Skumanich [LexisNexis Risk Solutions] is working. Sometimes she likes to try and help by pecking at the keyboard, trying to type up a message. She isn’t very good at taking dictation, though

Janine Raymond [Reed Exhibitions] has had her very own babysitters. Here is Piper and Zoe on baby duty while mom works!

Adam Balsam [Reed Exhibitions] rescued Ozzy during the onset of Covid. Ozzy has helped teach his young boys responsibility and offered them loyal companionship as many of their regular activities have been off limits for months

This is Boba and Chai (yes, they’re both named after Asian teas), Pryanka Pratt's [LexisNexis] new pet niece and nephew. They’re 5 months old and have grown to become very cuddly and affectionate, most often found snuggling next to somebody on the sofa or crawling across the keyboard hoping to catch your attention. They love playing together, climbing on furniture and, despite their small size, they are real foodies

Michael Salyers [LexisNexis Risk Solutions] volunteered at a cat rescue in Atlanta during the pandemic and took several foster cats home. She assisted with taking in a pregnant cat named Margout for 3 weeks before she had her litter of 7 safely in her home. She was able to enjoy watching these tiny kittens grow and be cared for until they were big enough to go into the shelter, where they were all adopted within the first week of being there, including mama cat Margout! All of these cats have given much needed companionship and entertainment for Michael - in different ways, as they’ve all been unique purrsonalities!

Khiron Samerotti [Reed Exhibitions] had a traumatising experience of a wet diaper, which led to the waiting of a bottle to be heated. So a furry friend, Caddy the cat came to shorten the wait

Amanda Goncalves [Reed Exhibitions] has had Kona as a WFH helper, serving a dual role as assistant and nanny

Mr Juppie the gold fish has done a good job in hypnotising Kasia Zuk's [Elsevier] energetic 3 and half year old Benjamin while she has been in conference calls

Annemieke van Es' [Elsevier] 8 year old chihuahua Spikey has helped her stay active during lockdown by taking and enjoying longer walks. Being out in nature helped Annemieke cope with the challenging times at home, as the combination ‘working from home and home schooling’ has not been easy. Spikey has helped keep her and the family sane

Here is Ben - a.ka. Benny and is 13 years old and loves to play ball & frisbee. He is Wendy Leahy's [Reed Exhibitions] pal! He is sweet as can be, and Wendy has loved having him around during the day while she works. Best thing ever!

Suzanne Krauss' [Reed Exhibitions] 5 year old pup, Surry Krauss has been the best company for her family during quarantine. She is incredibly sweet and just loves having everyone around ALL THE TIME 

Barbara Hoare's [RELX] kitty called Princess, is a 8 year old Ragdoll. She has always been a Mummy’s girl but since lock down she follows Barbara everywhere! When working on the computer she will lay next to her on the table, and makes her smile when she looks at her with her beautiful big blue eyes! Barbara is in the office 2 days a week, so leaves a jumper next to her & also leaves the radio on for comfort! (LBC – she loves Nick Ferrari)

Here is Elizabeth Jenning's [Elsevier] hedgehog Grushenka

Eli has been keeping Meghan Margewicz's [Reed Exhibitions] spirits up through all the craziness this year. Being with him is the only time of the day she gets to refocus her mind and 'forget' about all the other things on her to-do list and the craziness going on in the world these days. Spending time with Eli refreshes her mind and gets her going again!

Cheryl Gilmore's [LexisNexis Risk Solutions] 7 year old Shih-Poo, Smalls Gilmore, is named after the movie “Sandlot”. And yes, at least once a day, one of the family will say “You're killing me, Smalls”. When the alarm goes off in the morning for work, he runs and waits patiently at the several doors leading into Cheryl's office. Once settled at the start of the workday, he spends the rest of the day sleeping on the couch in the office

This is Anke Drescher's [Elsevier] cat Änni – a mix of Norwegian forest cat – which Anke got from an animal shelter just six months ago before lockdown started. Änni was very anxious and cautious at the beginning, but became quite relaxed during the long homeoffice period. Her calmness has been very influential on Anke, and thus her presence showed her a life beyond the pandemic

Caroline Herz [RELX] had Bronx, an 8 yr old Chihuahua, not leave her side, except when he curls up on the couch next to her workstation for a nap. Whereas her 10 yr old Chihuahua Diesel, just retires to his dog bed after the morning walk to sleep all day, only to emerge for the evening walk. Caroline's presence has clearly had no impact on his already well established life of leisure

Luna is usually the most lazy employee, always falling asleep on the job or looking at Anja Maciagiewicz [LexisNexis Risk Solutions], waiting for her to wrap up the work day for some play time

Like many others, Christine Kratz [Reed Exhibitions] decided to bring a new friend into their home during quarantine. Enter, Gus! He likes to remind her the importance of getting plenty of Vitamin D and sleep during these weird and crazy times

Honey and Lilly helps keep Robin Tapp's [Reed Exhibitions] leather chair warm and show him how to relax, regardless of his stress levels

Jaime McAuley's [Reed Exhibitions] “Cuddle Muppet Zen Dog” Lola has been amazing during this time. She keeps her calm during stressful times and entertains her kids with doggy kissing parties and doggy horseback rides. They never need a vacuum in their household when Lola is around, as she waits patiently at the kids’ high-chairs waiting for food to drop!

Meet Allen Silveri's [Reed Exhibitions] two family dogs, Ginger (left) and Pixie (right.) They help break up his day by coming into his basement office to get his attention when they need a ‘Bio’ break. Allen typically goes outside with them to get a breath of fresh air and experience the weather…whatever the weather may be. The 5-10 minute break helps clear his head and reset his focus for work

Lori Irvine's [Elsevier] supervisor Oscar sleeps an awful lot behind her on the daybed. He’s never far away from her and stays at her feet whilst she types

Ryan Moquin [Elsevier] has three dogs, but Lola is his best buddy. She sleeps under his desk every day while he works (not usually in such a goofy way). When she wakes up, she'll sometimes start licking his feet. Ryan really enjoys her company

Vince has been Nikki Thorpe's [LexisNexis Risk Solutions] shadow and kept her sane over lockdown. In this picture he is thinking: “oh no, not another Teams call - I want my dinner and walkies!”  

Daisy is Jim Freeman's [LexisNexis] granddog, a giant Schnoodle. His meeting was too long for her, so she took a break during the meeting

Marc Simon's [Reed Exhibitions] two dogs, Snickers and Oreo have been helping show him how to relax (since it’s so easy for them) and also making sure they can get plenty of exercise on walks. They are also happy to lend a helping hand (or paw), as can been in the picture

When Miss Daisy May (a beagle/basset mix) is ready for Mom to be done with work, this is the look she gives. She is very sassy and has always been a Mama’s girl, but through the pandemic is even more attached to Shari A. Townsend [RELX] and is always by her side or at her feet while working. Shari calls her the laziest file clerk you’ve ever seen. She likes to listen in on conference calls and can be quite comical if she’s snoring loudly while on calls

This is Koda. She is Shannon Skumanich's [LexisNexis Risk Solutions] Doberman velcro dog and wants to be wherever she is. No matter where she moves her office space, and it has been in several areas around the house, you will always find Koda very close to her. She is constantly watching over Shannon and keeping her stress levels in check

Bentley serves as a retired 45 mph foot warmer under the table that Charlene Ros [LexisNexis Risk Solutions] works on. He also serves as a reminder to take a break at noon and 3pm each day

Rambo the Cockatiel has become very (more) spoiled since Yvette Zelik [Elsevier] has been WFH. He now has a daily 9am wake up whistle and recently celebrated his 10^th Birthday!

Molly Langer [Reed Exhibitions] adopted Triple H (Hunter) Langer a week before the RX Norwalk office started working remotely, the biggest blessing of quarantine! Having him around the house gave both her and her husband so much joy - watching him get into trouble broke up the monotony of the days stuck inside, and the little ‘coffee breaks’ felt so much more special with Hunter to cuddle

Helen Keniston-Davies [LexisNexis Risk Solutions] became a pawrent to Pippa the Giant Schnoodle Puppy in May this year and changed her life. She may not ever have a morning lie in again but what she does gain is someone to remind her to step away from the computer screen, take a walk and play with. She has also learnt no loo roll or shoelace will ever be safe

Before and during the lock-downs, David Foy's [RELX] bull terrier mix Maggie enjoys morning visits to Starbucks because the baristas give her doggie “whippie” cups aka whipped cream. Here you can see her post “whippie” cup consumption happiness!

This is Vicky, a Norwegian Forest cat who’s been very much part of Laetitia Tetart's [ICIS] life for the past eight years. She’s the best remedy to stress. No doubt she helped Laetitia stay mentally sane during the lockdown - she’s the only soul she had around for weeks and weeks. Here she is when London was 35 degrees, she had a quick shower over lunch time to cool down! Who said cats don’t like water?

This is Lisa Hayes' [RELX] cat Rollover. She got her name because when her partner at the time would come home from work, she would roll over on his feet in greeting. Their time together has been particularly important because just before lockdown, on February 13, Lisa's cat, Cristina, passed away. She spends her days helping Lisa at work. Also, Rollover understands the importance of staying fit, and periodically gets up from Lisa's desk to work out on her treadmill

Michael Salyers [LexisNexis Risk Solutions] volunteered at a cat rescue in Atlanta during the pandemic and took several foster cats home. Currently she has a new foster named Lucia who will be with her for about a month until she can get retested for FELV- a disease highly contagious among cats that has restricted her to a cage since arriving at the shelter from another high-kill shelter. In Michael's home she’ll get the care and freedom she needs until she is retested to know she for certain if she is contagious. Even if she is, she’ll get a home in her own room in the shelter once she returns

Helen Keniston-Davies [LexisNexis Risk Solutions] became a pawrent to Pippa the Giant Schnoodle Puppy in May this year and changed her life. She may not ever have a morning lie in again but what she does gain is someone to remind her to step away from the computer screen, take a walk and play with

Jennifer Fuller [LexisNexis Risk Solutions] and her son Colin have been pandemic-ing together. Colin has a favourite cat named Mr. Whiskers. Here is a photo of Mr. Whiskers sitting on Colin’s tent as he is trying to roll it up to put it away. Typical cat behavior, right? Sometimes Whiskers brings home friends like chipmunks, so Jennifer and Colin have to catch them and put them back outside. Chippies are actually sweet and they are lucky to handle them before being returned to their homes

Success for Carolina Ulloa Para's [Elsevier] cat!

Meet Bella, a six month old Cockapoo with boundless energy and endless love. Bella enjoys walks in the park, playing with her cuddly toys and learning new tricks. She’s mastered sit, lie down, paw and high five... and working on rollover at the moments. She’s kept Pryanka Pratt [LexisNexis] and her family all in high-spirits through lockdown and helped them make the most of outdoor walks

Each morning Tim Morris [Elsevier] and his wife have been doing Yoga over lockdown and now have a 30min daily workout with their house rabbit Curley joining in. Some mornings he chooses to lay down under a downward dog. He also likes to take the odd bite out of the yoga blocks

This is Wally, a three-year old Maltese mix. He is the little guy that gets Robert (Bob) Foreman [LexisNexis Risk Solutions] away from his desk each day for the much needed stretch and exercise. He is a smart and brave little rescue dog. He loves him!

Meet Adi, she is Renu Midha's [LexisNexis Risk Solutions] dearest 5 year old golden retriever. An absolute joy and an integral part of Renu's family. Adi is a registered therapy dog and Renu and her 16 year old twins are registered therapy dog handlers with the Alliance of Therapy Dogs. They have been visiting elderly care homes over the past year since being registered. They participate in weekly zoom meetings with Adi and a number of elderly care centers across the USA. They are proud to be able to share the happiness and joy of the residents meeting Adi over zoom. Adi is glad to shake, spin, high five, wave, sit and down on demand for treats of course – but the joy this brings to the residents is priceless!

Here is Gloria, she is 3 and full of energy. She is a dock dog and loves to run & swim. Wendy Leahy [Reed Exhibitions] has loved having her around during the day while she works. Best thing ever!

Here is Bacon, a Shih Tzu-Japanese Spitz mix. Claire Gellada [Reed Elsevier, REPH] works EST hours in the Philippines and the night shift can get lonely working from home since everyone is sleeping. But it's okay since she has Bacon snoozing nearby

Here is Steve Hess' [LexisNexis] Golden Retriever Tucker, a rescue dog that Steve rescued in June of 2019. He is their third golden. He looks quite regal here but can be a handful. Steve works from home in Dayton, Ohio, so he follows him around pretty much all day BUT... Steve and his wife are thankful every day that they have him. They take turns taking him for a walk every day and while he sleeps downstairs at night, he comes up every morning around 7am and jumps in bed with them. To both of them, he is a stress reliever during the pandemic and loves them with no strings attached. They never have liked to leave their dogs for very long, so given that they stay pretty close to home during the pandemic, he has been a blessing

Malessa Lewis [LexisNexis Risk Solutions] has her cat Buddy watching her work during the day

Jennifer Kinney [LexisNexis Risk Solutions] was lucky enough to find this cute puppy on March 14 at their local shelter, right before lockdown. She’s been a God-send in many ways, and loves to snuggle and play

Kim Fox's [Reed Exhibitions] 3 year old pup Oliver has been a constant source of joy and comfort throughout the challenging times we’ve had this year. 

George and Milly, brother and sister have been inseparable since birth. They love each other to bits but also like to wrestle one another! They’ve brightened up Heather Claxton's [RELX] life for 9 years now, and are total lumps of love and do the funniest things – they’ve kept her smiling through lockdown and beyond. They’re the softest most loving companions you could wish for!

Charlie and Sophie are brother and sister Cavachon’s. They make sure Mark Shewhart [LexisNexis] gets out exercising during breaks and spend most of the workday hanging around his office, sleeping next to his desk and looking out the windows in the office “guarding” the house from pesky mail people and delivery vans  

Here is Archer, and Felicia Grosso's [Reed Exhibitions] two cats Sydney and Fiona (peeking out from behind the curtain). They have provided some comic relief while working from home. Archer always lets them know when it is time to stop working at the end of the day and take him for a walk

Here are pictures of Gina Walker's [Elsevier] pets that she got to spend more time with during lockdown. Two chickens, Queenie and baby chick and one cat, Midnight. She was amazed to find out how much time they all spent together. Midnight is quite protective of her chickens and Gina's favourite picture of them is of them all trying to find a shady cool spot underneath the pumpkin plants during a short heat wave in Amsterdam

Eddy and Berty have been excellent colleagues during this working from home period. They are often keeping Loraine Barge [RELX] company on her bar stools, waiting for their supper near the end of the day 

Claudia Fodor [LexisNexis] has three dogs, one is called Brody. They were her only company during lockdown. Luckily with them she always had an excuse to go out

Grisly and her companion Mr Smartie have made the most of the chance to be inside the house more during the day. They like to keep an eye on what Philippa Willson [Elsevier] is doing, in case it involves food, which is their second favourite thing after sleeping

Lucky and Mila remind Monalisa DePina [Reed Exhibitions] everyday to live in the moment, go for beautiful walks and drink plenty of water!

Who would think a Dog and a Cat would become best friends? Steven Kunz [LexisNexis] couldn't quite believe it

Michael Salyers [LexisNexis Risk Solutions] volunteered at a cat rescue in Atlanta during the pandemic and took several foster cats home. At the start of the pandemic the shelter needed to close and had to find quick fosters for the 80+ residents at the shelter. She took in siblings Mari and Riley, Riley is a diabetic needing close monitoring.  They were great companions during the early days and really thrived being in a home instead of the shelter. With Michael's medical trainings from the shelter she was able to provide the level of care required as well. Once shelter operations reopened in April, Mari and Riley returned to the shelter to receive their normal care by staff and volunteers

Barbara Blevens [LexisNexis Risk Solutions] is an active volunteer with a non-profit, Canine Assistants, which breeds and trains dogs to be placed with individuals with disabilities. During Covid-19, she has been able to have her foster visit more often. This benefits both her and the dogs, as she prepares for their placement in the future

Amy Miller [LexisNexis] has two male mixed-breed dogs, Appa and Max. Here is Max in the car waiting for his veterinary appointment. Even though Amy and her husband hardly go anywhere these days, their dogs give them that unmatched, eager greeting

Joseph Norton's [RELX] trusted companion Cody is rearing to go after a long day of conference calls…

Steven Ramay's [Elsevier] dog Gracie is obsessively and relentlessly cheerful. A great spirit that roams his house and reminds all of us stuck working at home that life is still full of magic

Amy Miller [LexisNexis] has two male mixed-breed dogs, Appa and Max. They each weigh about 90 pounds. Here is Appa eager to go outside to catch a break from the summer heat. Even though Amy and her husband hardly go anywhere these days, their dogs give them that unmatched, eager greeting. They always feel appreciated!

Jack has been Anne-Marie Scoones' [Elsevier] constant companion throughout lockdown. Jack has quite a story - from having two broken legs after being run over at the age of two months on the streets of Penang, to living his best life with Anne-Marie in Edinburgh. As you can imagine, when she brought him back to Edinburgh at Easter last year, he was a nervous, scared little dog, having no experience of a city and having just travelled 10,000kms! He is now an Instagram star with his own page @jackthemalaysianstray. He has kept Anne-Marie sane over the past six months, not to mention active, and is chief taster for every loaf of sourdough that she makes

Meet Saint Francis Gray – Chief Watchdog. Every day Saint Francis naps in Karen E. Gray's [LexisNexis] home office. He knows the sounds of Microsoft Teams dialing out and the voices of her colleagues. Every day after lunch he watches for the mail carrier through the window. Instinctively he knows that we are about to get mail delivered, and he “thanks” them quite loudly

Oscar sits at Mary Jager's [Reed Exhibitions] feet while she's working and keeps everyone away while she is busy. He is her very own personal watch dog from distractions

Here is Ryan Kearns' [LexisNexis] faithful companion, Darwin (a golden retriever), enjoying the sunshine on a beautiful, late-summer day. This guy couldn’t be happier that both of his “parents” are now around full-time, and both are very happy that they can spend more of their day with him too! He entertains himself (and certainly them) in his never-ending pursuit of backyard squirrels, chipmunks, and even the occasional bird!
