The current office dogs often make an appearance on our
social media platforms but we had office dogs long before we had social
media so we thought we might take a little trip down memory lane and introduce
office dogs of the past.
The first official CJS office dog was Niall and Anthea's
Bernese Mountain Dog, Corrie. She wasn't allowed in the very small office very
often as she took up a LOT of space and was rather good at pinning people to
their desks, she was followed by Flag the tennis ball fixated rescued Golden
Retriever. Tracey's greyhound Jess was an occasional visitor, later on Lad the
lurcher (of the incredible ears) patrolled the yard (and latterly the garden
outside the Goathland office) and Kerryn's Labradors Juno and Maia became
regular fixtures. When we moved the
office to Goathland Flag would visit and try to steal Juno and Maia (now the
resident office dogs) balls from the toy basket.

On one occasion when Flag was
staying for longer than usual we found him outside looking rather confused -
the green 'ball' he had liberated turned out to have big stalk and tasted
rather funny, he'd found a large piece of broccoli! Amy's young collie William
joined the office dogs and helped no end, especially with interviews. Tracey's
next office dog visitor was a podenco rescued all the way from Spain and
Limonie, like Lad had huge ears (do you sense a theme here?).

However the
biggest semi-official office dog was Finnegan, the foolish Irish Wolfhound, fortunately
the Goathland office is somewhat larger than the tiny Sleights one, I don't
think he'd have fitted in there.

Fantastic Finn the foolish.
