We’re all feeling a bit stressed with midterms right around the corner, so we at The Sturges Script figured a few posts about one of the Scholars’ favorite stress relievers–dogs–may be helpful!<\/span><\/p>\n

So, meet Professor Butcher\u2019s dogs, Oosk and Piper! Oosk is 3 years old and was rescued from a hoarder in Columbus. Her original name was \u201cLouisiana,\u201d and she was 1 of 11 in her litter. Oosk can sit, spin, lie down, high-five, and kiss (it helps if she’s being bribed with baby carrots or mini-cookies). Her wardrobe includes multiple sweaters, skunk\/banana split sundae\/Chewbaca costumes, and a taco suit, which she dons every Finals Week for Taco Timeout in Beeghly Library at midnight, sponsored by the Chaplain\u2019s Office. As a puppy, she once pooped in the heater grate, thinking \u201cout of sight, out of mind.\u201d She loves coming to campus for \u201cOffice\/Oosker Hours.”<\/span><\/p>\n

Piper, Oosk’s little sister, was rescued as a stray outside a shelter in Kentucky. She was predicted as a Border Collie\/Blue Heeler\/Jack Russell mix, but is instead 50% Chihuahua with hints of German Spitz and Chow-Chow. She can sit, spin, high-five, and army crawl closer to your face when she is most in need of a cuddle, and is surprisingly ferocious when confronted with a dog who is not her sister or best friend. Some might say she looks like an English professor herself when dressed in her best argyle.<\/span><\/p>\n
