WOOT! and WOOT again.
My dog has decided to get a job.
Since she doesn't have fingers, I'll be spending her paycheck for her. Did I mention WOOT?

Here is her application for employment that she will turn in tomorrow morning.
Cross yer fingers and toes. I have my eye on a new video game. Er....I mean....she REALLY wants this.

A copy of her written note is below. Just in case you guys have some advice for her.


















PS. I have already advised her not to lick herself during the interview.

She'll be valuable asset. I can vouch for her.

Let's all pray she doesn't sniff the bosses crotch before she gets the job. Unless, a'course, he likes that.

No baring teeth either.

Jodes, Lucy never bares her teeth. So that's on thing we don't have to fret over. She does, however, like to bring in rocks, sticks, and any hapless critters she can catch up to, like frogs and turtles. She just carries them in, lays them on her rug and tries to cuddle up with them. Mostly, they don't care for it. LOL!

And now, I think I've commited to make a Ginger Bread house and cookies.
sigh. sigh. siiiiiiiiiiigh.

You know Crab, That dog is much smarter than some of your commenters on your last post. I'm not mentioning names!

Try this, one large regular coffee with double cream, and a walnut crunch please.

You should wrap what the dog brings in as gifts for those that you don't know that well. Nothings beats non-store bought gifts as they are supposed to show thought.

For the people you hardly know...

Glove and scarf sets. You live where it snows. Who can't use another pair of gloves? And there's a shitload of them too.

It's the ultimate, no brainer, no thought, gift idea. And they run the gamut of price ranges, too.

Important person? $50+ cashemere blend. Not so important person? Blue light special.

No sizes to contend with. If you REALLY REALLY REALLY don't want to think (because there's a tier of even LESS THOUGHT you can plunge to), get them in WHITE, BLACK, or MAYBE RED. Because they go with everything. Or maybe a nice beige or taupe.

My oldest works at Tim Hortons if ya need a reference.

His laundry smells like coffee and donuts.

The laundry of a 14 yr old boy could smell much worse.

A walnut crunch?

LOL send her to my house I have so much leftovers that sh'd be in 7th heaven!

Can you get a cat a job?

G-man, our Hortons doesn't have Walnut crunch. I asked today.

Tina, because they're related. We just never see them.

Pete, I like the way you think, man! And rocks make great paper weights! It's brilliant.

Deb, you really have this stuff down pat! Right down to the "all compatible colors". I'm impressed as hell. I should have asked you before I ever left today. (which btw, was the worst of all 4 shopping days)

Iris, pssssst....your seeing eye dog is seeing up Mildred's dress over there in the library right now. And Old man, Raymond hooked his little mini-cam to Dub's collar so, he's seeing up Mildred's dress too. She's gonna be upset again.

Helen, if my kid had clothes that smelled like doughnuts and coffee, I'd never wash them. LOL!

g-man, we still don't have them.

Gab, you have no idea how right you are. The dog lives to eat, give kisses and chase chipmunks.

Sign, yeah. ahhhhhhh ha ha ha ha ha! Probably as Lucy's manager.

The tier even lower than the neutral colored scarves is, of course, hating a gift receipient so much that you go out of your way to buy something they hate.

Put that on a Norman Rockwell painting.

Let me know if you need more inspiration.

She should become one of those life saving dogs. That way she'll always have a bottle of Rum around her neck, could come quiet handy at times ;)

Mone, I DO like that Rum idea.

Dude, great idea. My kids need to start making some money around this joint. I mean hell, if a dog can bring in the bacon...you know what I mean?

I learned a long time ago that yes, you need to be worried about what the company thinks of you. But you also need to worry about what they will do for you. Is there a dog run near by? Will you have your own bowl of water? Are there nap times allowed? Will you have a nice comfy surface to sleep on? I could go on but you got the point. Secondly, and most importantly, the people that are interviewing you are just another dog owner. Think of then as just like you because, they are. Don't get all worried about things. Just pretend they aer Crabby and you will be all set. Good luck Lucy.

Gift giving, don't remind me. I am mid shopping now. I have no idea what to get my parents and I know them. Yikes! There is the fruit cake but that is not a present...

I think you screwed it up for her. Licking yourself is a sure fire way to get a job. Especially if it's a man doing the interview and he sees that you can reach your ass!

All I can say is Good Luck Lucy. Can you find my lazy assed a cat a job too?

` That's so cute! How did she get the idea?

` BTW, I know someone who had a cat that would cuddle up with mice and lick them. The mice mostly just freaked out.
