Here at DFB, we have a Friday tradition we lovingly refer to as Furr-idays.
Binx and his banshee
On Fridays, I prompt everyone on the team to share a recent photo of their furbabies, and we “ooh” and “aah” over each and every one (or laugh, depending on what they’re up to in said photo). It’s a great way to get into the weekend spirit, but also gives us a chance to bond as a team over our love of animals. And, as you may have suspected, these furbabies really are our bosses, so I’d like to introduce some of them to you.
So how did our Furr-iday tradition begin? Well, a member of our team who is no longer with us started prompting us every Friday to post photos of our pets on our Slack chat. When that member left, I took it upon myself to keep the tradition going, and it became Furr-iday! I usually post a photo of one of my five cats (usually the two youngest, Taylor and Binx, because they are always doing something precocious). So meet Taylor (who is, yes, named after Taylor Swift) on her Haunted Mansion blankie. Binx, well, that’s him up above cuddled up with the Banshee I got in Animal Kingdom years ago.
Taylor is a Haunted Mansion fan
We’ve got another cat duo, Theodore and Princess Poppy, who own DFB team member Traci, love waiting for treats (not so much the waiting part, though).

Bruni is SO adorable, and yes, there is a bit of a theme of some of our animals being named after Disney characters. We’re sure that’s no big surprise, though!

Kairi was feeling patriotic in a way that would make Sam the Eagle proud (it’s a patriotic Lamb Chop toy — so cute!).

Meet Nola and Olive, who don’t usually like to be so close to each other, but sometimes cats do random things!
Nola and Olive. No touchee.
Nixon got a new office bed recently, and we’d say he’s loving it.

We are IN LOVE with Bentley’s one floppy ear here.

It’s not just dogs and cats that are running our offices, though. There are horses, too. Meet Atlas.

Bunnies are busy bossing us around, too.

Tyrion loves a good roll in the leaves…but, seriously, who doesn’t? Bring on fall!

These are just a few of the furbabies who do the REAL work here at DFB by keeping us all motivated and laughing, even if they sometimes just get in the way by “helping.” And they almost always crash our work video meetings. They are as much a part of the team as we mere humans, and life would be boring without them.
