Animals and I share a mutual love of one another…especially dogs. I ruffle their ears, they dribble a little pee on my shoes, we rub noses and I don’t mind their slobbery doggie breath. So when my boss announced he would be bringing his dog to the office today, I was excited.
Imagine my dismay, then, when the above mentioned dog arrived, took one sniff at my kitty-scented hands…and turned tail and promptly trotted away! Complete disinterest! I tried a number of times throughout the day to attract her attention, but to no avail. A few times, she feigned interest, let me pat her head, then promptly stuck her nose in the garbage can under my desk.
So at the end of the day, I was delighted when she padded back to my desk to watch me put on my coat and bid me a fond farewel. She smiled at me, pressed up against my legs while I scratched behind her ears. And then….she barfed all over my floor, a smushy puddle of regurgitated dog chow. Charming.
