Doggy Desk: The Corporate Canine Workplace

Two posts in one day! I have a lot to catch everyone up on…

Mom and Dad finally tied the knot and we also have finally moved into the new apt, which leaves me with plenty of time to catch everyone up on what’s new in my life!

After the wedding mom, dad and I spent some family time together…well sort of…running errands all over town. Boy am I pooped! But I love Hoboken and I miss Auntie Jess, Uncle Dan, Cousin Mickey and Cousin Gus a lot. But I am glad that I get to see them at the office everyday! Lucky ME!

This is me resting after a long day of helping mom and dad organize the apt. Helping the grown ups is sure tiring…

Happy 30th Birthday Auntie Chrissy! Because it was a special weekend A) Labor Day Weekend and B) Auntie Chrissy’s B-day; mom and dad took me out for a special treat. We went to brunch at the Barking Dog Cafe, where I got to eat bacon and hang out with a bunch of dogs from the neighborhood before we made the big move to Hoboken. Mom even almost let me try her iced coffee. It was hot outside and it looked so refreshing!

Then off to the Jersey Shore we went… I ran on the boardwalk off my leash for the first time AND I got to run on the sand and also made a couple new friends. They are WAY more experienced since they go to the beach all summer long, but for my first time it was the best. I got to eat some burgers and hot dogs right off the grill and some yummy summer Jersey corn. I even met a mini poodle that walked beside me all the way from one side of the boardwalk to the other. I was sad to see the summer and the shore go. I hope to be back soon, please Auntie Chrissy have another b-day party real soon!

This weekend my friend, Chris, turned 40. To celebrate he invited his closest friends AND puppies out to the island to enjoy a weekend of drinking wine, swimming, cooking, and chasing a large pink soccer ball.

My dad bought me this soccer ball just for the occassion. I was so excited the entire 3 hours in the car. I couldn’t wait to get to the country and play soccer.

WELL….

When we arrived there was another little furry friend of mine, Hazel. She has to be the smallest Boston Terrier around. Sometimes people mistake her for a bunny because when she runs she hops like a bunny. (that’s another post and I will have to get a video)

This is Hazel. She is a cartoon character. This is the picture of her chasing after my ball…

My Dad and I started playing soccer. I was running around the yard, kicking the ball with my paws, jumping into the bushes to retrieve the ball. I was having a ball! Then, Miss Hazel decided she wanted to play. Hazel is so tiny and so FAST. I had no chance in keeping up with her. Hazel stole my ball. In fact my Dad gave Hazel my ball when we left on Sunday. I am not happy with him!

Since my ball was gone I accepted the fact that I would lounge by the pool. It was wonderful because Harry (a Cardigan Corgie) made the best martini’s. And he served them poolside.

Sunday came too soon and then Monday arrived. I’m asking Mom and Dad for a country house for Christmas, not another blue ring.

Until next time… Back to the Monday Work Day

At the office during the summer we have what you call “Summer Fridays”. This means that we come in around 10 and we get to leave at 1 to start our weekend adventures. We do this from Memorial Day to Labor Day. After Labor Day since we don’t have Summer Fridays we start back up with 4 pm Champagne Fridays, but that’s for another post.

Today I decided to start my Summer Friday at 9 am after a night out at Mary’s Fish Camp and a bottle of Rose Wine with friends. I am starting to decorate my new apartment and I need to find the perfect bed. Not too small but not too big. Not too soft and not too hard. And of course it must go with Mom and Dad’s decor. This seems to always be the problem. They just do not make beautiful modern dog beds for what I like to refer to the larger more voluptious breeds like me.

I found one at Design Within Reach but it won’t fit my round rump. I am sending this out to all the larger dogs and need help finding this. If you know of any great puppy beds just for me - send them my way. I haven’t been sleeping well because my Dad seems to think the Queen size bed is his. Can you believe that one?!?

Oh and as you can see from the photo. The bed needs to be large enough so I can have sleepovers with Tater.
