The Pup Visits "The Orb"


Lucah has become a "working man"...well "working pup".

Since I work for a cool company (Graphic Orb) I am allowed to bring my dog to work. At any given time of the week there is at least one 4 legged animal running around our office being smothered with attention. Today was Lucah's turn.

As a new parent I have to say I was pretty nervous. I know he is genius and will someday do something great like invent a banana that doesn't go brown before you get home. I still don't know, however, how he will do in a public setting with lots of new faces and smells. He definitely is not house-broken by any means. Just the other weekend we brought home a new rug for him to play on and not more than two seconds after unrolling it he added his own "decoration" to it. So a whole building with unknown carpet would be a lot of pressure for him.

The little fur ball did great! He was playful, but didn't get too excited. Everyone was glad to meet him and no one was seriously injured. I did have to leash him to my desk but that was more for his protection and to avoid an embarrassing accident. After he met everyone he laid under my desk and didn't do much else. He is still a mastiff, so the amount of action you can get out of him in the morning borders on "very little" to "is he still breathing?"



Thanks goes out to the people of "The Orb" for being so accommodating, and I will definitely bring him back soon. All I need to do now is to either teach him to make coffee, or shmear a bagel. Then I can get him on the payroll.
