TCR’s Twitter account, @Champaign_Room, sends out a tweet with #IlliniPulse asking for your opinion on something every Monday night, and we post out the best answers in this article every Tuesday!

This week we asked you to send us pets with Illini names and gear, and you guys answered! Here are some of the best responses!

Lovie!

Oskee “Bow” Wow!

This dog looks ecstatic.

The mid-2000’s were a golden age.

About 10 years ago we had a cat named Dee.
