First, a coworker called me to ask if I knew how long a dog could have kennel cough. Well, golly...I dunno, I have cats! So, I questioned my dog friends via FB, and they said that kennel cough can last for weeks, and may turn into something worse. Most suggested a second opinion. When I relayed that info to him via email, he sent back to me that his dog has now been officially diagnosed with bronchitis, and they are treating it properly.
Bummer! I feel sorry for this family, as this is their first dog. They went on vacation, kenneling the dog, and now this! Coworker promised to keep me informed on how his pup is doing. I did NOT remind him that I suggested he'd adopt a couple of cats, when he first discussed getting a pet. 😸
Second, just after the kennel cough incident, one of our upper management people stopped me in the hallway, asking if I knew a good dog veterinarian in the area! Nonplussed, I said that I didn't know, but would ask around.
I sent an office wide email, and got almost a dozen responses! I dutifully turned the info over, and she said her daughter was adopting a new puppy and appreciated the recommendations. As much as I tried to convince her to adopt a cat instead 😸, I was promised photos of puppy soon.
Being an executive administrative assistant, I'm in the office to ASSIST. Usually, it's to set up a meeting, cater a customer lunch, update spreadsheets or handouts, make sure badges work, yadda yadda yadda. However, it's nice to know that folks think I can answer any question, and I usually can...because I've got connections! 😸
Since I've yet to receive images of these two dogs, I thought I'd show you another coworker's German Shepherds, who just happened to turn a year old. And this coworker will tell you that I put in a lot of effort to convince her that she'd really enjoy CATS instead! 😸
