New Greeter at the Door

KnifeMaker.ca · Jun 29, 2010

Many of you know our old golden retriever Marty, who's been greeting customers for years as they try to get out of their car. Lately, between more customers and less energy, he's been hinting he could use some help. That made sense, so please welcome Amy and Silver - apprentices to our master greeter.

I'm sure Marty appreciates the help greeting all those customers. (If they don't drive him nuts with puppies crawling all over him.)

Very nice looking dogs. What are they? Kinda look like some cocker in them, maybe some retriever. Care to expand?

Thanks everyone. They are purebred Golden Retrievers. We got pick of a litter of 10 pups and spent weeks doing personality testing. In the end, we had a short list of three, two of which made it very clear they were choosing us. We just couldn't say no to either, so we said yes to both.

As you can see, they dragged me to the ground pinning me till their handler (Marilyn) called them off. I'm pretty sure that makes them a business expense.

Very cute, that should keep your customers hanging around a bit longer!

Yes, but they won't be looking at the mammoth ivory. We'll have to slip a couple extra items in their order while they are distracted

Even cat people like golden retrievers. It's impossible to not like their ever smiling faces.

Here's my little puppy. (obviously not a retriever

OMG

That's incredible! What did you feed him? (I think I'll avoid it with our girls.

) Looks like a gentle giant though. Thanks for sharing.

Haha, A LOT of food. He's actually small compared to his Dad. My dog (Norm) is around 75-80kg and his Dad was/is 90kg! and yes he is a big gentle softy.
