Meet Archie the Wonderdog

I’d like to introduce you all to Archie, my Office Assistant.

Archie is a Pugalier and is almost 10 years old.  My office would not be same without him.  Not only the office my life really.  He has rarely left my side since we got him, a tiny little pup that fitted in the palm of my hand.  He has been through some of the darkest times of my life with me as well some of the best days. 

Every morning starts with me rolling over to see him stretching out and giving me that look, you know the one, why are you waking me up it’s still early.  He then follows me outside where he does the rounds of the yard to make sure the perimeter is clear.

He then proceeds back to couch and goes back to sleep.  Giving me the eye if I dare disturb him while I go about my morning rituals. 

Then when it’s 9am and time to start work we head for the office.  This is where I sit down and start working and Archie …. Well Archie gets into his bed and goes back to sleep.  Which is where he stays until I get up from the desk.  I think I would be lost if he wasn’t there.  My little muse. 

The best thing about finally working from home I can now have my full time Office Assistant with me every day.  He listens very intently to all my
Articles as I read them to him before posting.  Nothing gets posted without his seal of approval.

When it’s time to knock off from work.  I put on my walking shoes and Archie don’s his harness and lead and we set off to meet Dad at work.  Once we meet Dad we can go off on all sorts of adventures.  Some of which I will share with you along our journey together.

So remember, as you read the articles, they have all been Archie Approved!
