• Split Shift and Gishy

  Remember the movie, 9 to 5.  With Lilly Tomlin, Jane Fonda and Dolly Parton.  I love that movie well remember how when they took over the office and started implementing all kinds of cool programs for the workers to make the work environment so much more pleasant and productive.  Like the split shift, at work daycare, plants allowed on the desk  etc.  Well, I’m split shifting it with my friend Pattie to care for Gishy.  Gishy is a Canadian french bull dog.  Pattie got her from her sister in TN last time she was there to visit.  Her sister breeds them and then finds homes for the mommas after they have 3 or 4 litters.  Well, Gishy is 7 years old and Pattie has 3 cats and things haven’t been so great when Pattie is at work and the critters are left alone at home to fend for themselves.  So I suggested she bring Gishy over to the shop and let her hang out with me during the day and then come and get her and take her home at nite.  Well today was her first day and at first she was hanging at the door or wondering around looking for Pattie.  I found one of those pet kennel/carriers so she can go and get in that when she wants or when I want her to, LOL.  I took her with me to do towels and walked her like crazy two times around the block and to 7-11 and back while the towels washed and dryed.  Ha, when we got back she took one tour around the shop sniffed at everything then went into her crate and crashed and snored like a drunk sailor while I did my last two customers.  LOL, she didn’t even budge when I turned on the blowdryer.  The only thing that we need to work on is for me to know when she needs to go out for a tinkle.  She had two accidents on the door mat, YUK.  But thats what happens when ya got critters around.  Here’s her pic.  Ain’t she cute?

  
  

  

  
  

  I think I’ll try and knit her a sweater.
