"Oliver" — The Well-Mannered Dog
I want you to meet “Oliver” — the well-mannered dog. He is my 2 1/2 year old Cavalier King Charles Spaniel. He comes to work with me every day and usually sleeps under my desk. He is the best alarm clock in the world because he tells me when it’s time to shut off my computer and go home (precisely at 6pm). When he is not “working,” he enjoys chasing lizards, taking walks, eating anything that resembles food, and taking long naps.
