My amazing assistant (most efficient assistant ever): I won't be in tomorrow
Me: No worries, hope all is well?
My assistant: Taking my dog to his doggie day care entrance exam
Me: An entrance exam for doggie day care??!!
Me 4 hours later: An entrance exam for doggie day care??!!
Update: Melvin passed the entrance exam!! Apparently he did so well (I guess that is the right sign) on the placement exam that he got put in w/ the big dogs. John thinks Melvin is way too small to be in with the big dogs... so not sure he will be using the doggie day care... Image
Email from my assistant last weekend: He has tenure now, so don’t ask him to do any tricks.
Attached to the email: the picture below of Melvin the dog in my office Image
My amazing assistant: I should have dropped Melvin [his dog] off at doggie day care today
Me: Why???
My assistant: This is what he just did [shows me video]. He is so proud of himself for getting hold of an entire kitchen roll. And no he didn't clean anything up... the opposite!!
Here is the best part of Halloween for me so far: Melvin in his Halloween costume
Melvin in his #peanuts Christmas present/shirt.
Merry Christmas, Melvin!
Hopefully lots more Melvin visits to the office and stories to come in 2020... Image
Melvin has to have hydro therapy (walk on a half underwater treadmill)
I guess a spoonful of peanut butter works as an incentive for him
I have to say much as I have lived in the US for almost 20 years (a few weeks shy of exactly 20 years) I still do not understand peanut butter
