HE Pet Spotlight: Eggs and Pancake

by Camille Fowler

I think we can all agree that eggs and pancakes are two of the best breakfast foods out there. They are even better when they’re the names of two cats that live with another Hill Engineering family. Seven-year-old Eggs and three-year-old Pancake take up residence with Eric and his wife, Lucy, where they like snuggling to their hearts’ content in their outside sunroom.

On our last pet spotlight, we introduced you to Potato, the very active Syrian dwarf hamster. Keeping with the “food” theme, our next feature is about Quiche, the four-year-old, all-black domestic short hair who lives with her family: Caleb and Mari.

HE Pet Spotlight: Potato the Hamster

Even though her paws are roughly the size of a strain gage, don’t expect her to perform any residual stress measurements! Our next pet spotlight is all about Hill Engineering’s smallest fuzzy friend, Potato the Syrian dwarf hamster!

Tommy, the Shiba Inu

It’s time to meet another Hill Engineering pet! Last time, we got to learn about Rho, the big pup who thinks he’s in a small body. Next up we have Tommy, the 4-year old Shiba Inu that can be described as sneaky and stubborn but most of all, smart.
