Dear Friends,

Pirate is so used to coming to work with me that today, when I decided to leave him home with Grace, he chased my car down the driveway. That’s a bad habit that we will have to stem so I stopped, scolded him and waited for Grace to come get him. I forgot about how much attention a little puppy demands but even though I think Pirate might be dumb as a stump, he seems to be picking it up.

He is in love with Emily’s dog, Piper, and they are very cute as they play and run around the office. We are interviewing for a number of openings at Small Dog and after one candidate told me that he didn’t like dogs, I remembered that an essential part of our interview process was the “sniff” test where the dogs must approve a candidate.

I woke up early on the morning of the iPhone and Apple Watch Series 2 pre-order day to let Pirate out and placed my orders around 4AM. I decided to go big with my iPhone and ordered the iPhone 7 plus. I want the better camera and experience with the larger iPhone. Emily, being much smarter, waited until we are at the office and placed her order and wouldn’t you know it, she received shipping notice already and mine seems to be stuck in “in progress”.
