Ollie, my 35th-birthday crisis. Ollie’s allegedly a pure Cocker Spaniel (so say his papers) but upon further examination…I don’t believe it for a second. He’s large, drooly and lumbering. He’s pretty dumb. But he’s the sweetest dog I’ve ever owned, bar none. There is no guile in this dog. He will sleep on your feet until they go numb. He will fetch a ball until he passes out from exhaustion. He has brought a huge amount of joy to our little household.
He's the Olliest guy I know!
Aliases: Murphus, Fuzzbutt, Fangnar Russellson, first of his name, Squire Thumpus.
Likes: Chewing. Ollie. Chewing Ollie. Coffee, chocolate, things that would likely kill him.
Dislikes: Boundaries.

Murphy Maximus's journey took him from a puppy mill in Missouri to a Rescue Lady's patchouli-scented van to a Home Depot parking lot in Pottstown, PA to a snuggly blanket in our living room.
When the kitchen water bowl is empty, he picks it up and throws it at me, just like Max used to do. <3 He's young, scrappy, and hungry and he's not going to miss his shot.
Aliases: Harry
Likes: Freeze dried brine shrimp. Sunlight.
Dislikes: The changing of the water.
Birthday: October, 2018
We have a fish tank at work with plain old “community tank” fish. Although PetSmart told us all of the fish were female, one day there was the tiniest dot with two gigantic black eyes hiding in the corner of the tank. We suppose his siblings didn’t make it. Hence, the fish who lived.
Our office closes between Christmas and New Year’s, and nobody stepped up to volunteer to come in and feed him (I understand that) so I took Harry home. And I never brought him back.
