Random Licks: Jake at the FetchDog Office for a Meeting

Jake's notes:

Humans are gathered around a big table. Blah-blah-blah.

A dog's outside! I vocalize my concern and Dave lifts me onto the windowsill.

 

It's a Bernese Mountain Dog in a truck. He's not happy. Luckily, all the truck's windows are open.

Dave shares his coffee with me. Yuck!

 
Now someone is waving her arms around in front of a big white board. Blah-blah-blah.

Grace, our CEO's Springer Spaniel, sashays in. Bill and I are obliged to spend a few minutes going through the routine greeting. She's been to the beach. She has major attitude. Who cares if she's a purebred if she can't be nice! Speaking as an Alpha-dog, the best thing is to let her keep thinking she runs the place.

Blah-blah-blah. I don't know what's so interesting about that big, white board, but everyone's staring at it like it's a chipmunk hole. Blah-blah-blah. All their heads are nodding.

Intriguing scent in the carpet.

 

(They've just moved into this place and haven't done it over yet.) Very interesting. I'd say someone dropped a pretty nice piece of ham here ... maybe a year and a half ago. Honey-ham ... from a quality deli ... not processed.

Blah-blah-blah. Something's making them laugh. I guess they must find something funny in all the squiggles on the white board ... whatever.

A quick check under the table. No bagel or muffin crumbs. Nobody ate breakfast here. Ah ... here's a vague intimation of tuna ... six months old ... packed in water, not oil. Oh and here is something vaguely Tex-Mex ... I'd say about 3 years old ... maybe the last occupants ... onions and red beans ... sour cream ... spicy ... a faint whiff of cilantro. Whoa! Right here by the table leg some dog did an invisible no-no. Female ... spayed ... middle-aged ... into Greenies. Grace! And I bet she blamed it on someone else.

Blah-blah-blah. Glenn seems to be here until the end. That sniff of coffee wasn't good for my reflux and the blah-blah-blah is like white noise. I'd better lie down ... one turn ... two turns ... three turns ... ah-h-h ... perfect. Blah-blah-blah-bla-bl-b-b-a ... a ... a ... a ... z-z-z-z-z-z-z-z-z-z-z-z.
