The beaver is a proud and noble animal
Notes from a bemused canuck
We already know that Byron loves cheese bretzels. It should also be noted that he is a connoisseur of ham croissants, and is well known by all shops selling them in the area. He’s also very vocal and impatient if it doesn’t get in his bellah quickly enough.
Given the election news from last night/this morning, I’ve been needing lots of Byron cuddles today.
Clingy, smoosh-faced dog
Byron clearly is a bread and cheese fiend. Makes it handy when I need to get him out to pee in the morning and he’s being a lazybones – I just need to rustle a cheese packet.
We have a cat that’s a guard dog, and a dog that loafcats…. Just another day in the life of our defective pets.
It’s not taken that long for them to get used to each other. They’re really like a pair of siblings now: either winding each other up or snuggled together. There’s no real in-between…
International Dog Day is August 26th. That’s also the day of the next NR staff meeting, and the comms team wanted to make a video to highlight both the dog day and the fact that NR has a pets@work policy. Because he’s a chonk – but mostly for gender balance reasons – the comms team asked me to bring bubs to work and be part of the video.
It actually went a lot better than expected, as bubs didn’t go into woofy-guard-dog mode nearly as often as last time. Very encouraging for it to happen again, esp when it’s cooler.
