Africa calling




I havent posted anything about Dylan recently mainly because of my own laziness but also because he seems to be settling down a bit. No more bin dipping, banditry or general craziness around the house. Sure he cannot be left alone without me returning to find notes on the door mat from neighbours about the crying, whining, howling and look of complete and utter sorrow and abandonment from the window, all this and I had only gone to get a paper!

Ok its not all good, he managed to get off the lead this morning and chase a cat up Severn Street, Hannah managed to catch him plus the cat lived so a happy ending. Back at home Dylan went upstairs and cried in front of James until he got out of bed, it was gone 10am so Dylan had a point.
Anyway, the point of this post was dogs overseas. We are a dog friendly workplace and currently have two canine members of staff namely Dylan and Serin (and eldery yet sprightly Springer Spaniel who has been at the pies), but we also have a dog in one of our overseas offices. I would like to introduce Zanzibar or Zanzi for short, she is about 1 year old a mongrel, dingo style dog that is very common wandering the streets, one of the lads found her abondoned and she is suffering from mange in the pics, she is now in good health since she was sorted by Vets Sans Frontiers who is a neighbour.

Maybe we should have him as a penpal for Dylan, they have the same build and brain power.

I think it's commendable that you extend your equal opportunities policy to those of a canine persuasion. Seen as Serin must be reaching retirement age soon, I just wondered if you had any vacancies that Lily might be able to apply for? She has been unemployed now for over a year since her last job in Ireland. Ideally, the role would involve sleeping for up to 18 hours a day, running very fast and eating. I will forward a copy of her CV for your perusal.
