Resume Building (guest post from Phoebe's officemate Lostelf!)

It's a little known fact that sharing an office with a dog is a great way to build your resume. For example, here are some of the valuable skills Cody has allowed me to add to my resume:

• Trained extensively for next 100 meter hurdles race (by repeatedly climbing over wooden doggie fence, which is now wedged into the door extremely tightly due to Cody's newfound ability to escape by cleverly dislodging the fence with his front paws)


• Acquired advanced architecture skills through creative use of plastic doggie enclosure pieces to design defensive fort around office's red comfy chair (to prevent Cody from scratching up the upholstery)


• Increased skin moisturization (due to excessive dog saliva exposure)


• Successfully defended lunch on a daily basis (from consumption by people-food-hungry dogmonster)


• Strengthened communication skills (by repeatedly apologizing to customers during phone calls for sound of lamps, boxes, and other items crashing to the ground in the background after being run into by overexcited vizsla puppy)


• Exercised courtesy and deference by knocking before entering own office (to reduce chance of facing an angry, growling dog who has been abruptly woken up from his nap by the sound of the door opening)


• Improved feng shui of office through strategic arrangement of furniture and wastebaskets (to prevent Cody from foolishly climbing behind furniture and getting stuck)


• Lowered blood pressure due to opportunity to pet cute doggie. :)
