Adventures of Cabbie the Office Dog

Appliance Talk

Hello! How are you? I’m good thanks. My name’s Cabernet (Cabbie for short) and I’m the Appliances Online office dog! Yeah!!

Here is a photo of my beautiful self:

Really captures my eyes, don’t you think?

Anyway, they’ve got me in here to write the occasional blog post (don’t be fooled by the author bio – I’m just using Louise’s account for the mo) because Appliances Online is an equal opportunity employer who doesn’t judge a person by their race, gender or species.

Contrary to popular belief, dogs are actually naturals at blogging, second only to monkeys:

When I’m not working on my unpublished manuscript (working title: ‘Shmackos and Other Addictions’) I can be found in the offices of Appliances Online, working hard:

Er… well, wasn’t it Einstein who said “Creativity is the residue of time wasted”?

Besides, I follow a strict regimen of 20 naps per day, which they say is very good for the complexion. How else would I stay so fetching? (Get it?? I’ll be here all week, try the veal.)

I work closely with Sally, our Head of Communications, or more importantly: Chief Dog Walker.

She’s also not a bad cook, but for some reason always gets annoyed when I eat possums. To which I say: “Whatever, Sally! Don’t you know possums are very high in fibre?”

Bet you’re all wondering what my favourite appliance is? I won’t keep you in suspense any longer – it’s the fridge, by far.

Fridges have all the best things, such as meat and… other meat. Except I’m definitely a traditionalist when it comes to fridge layout – those newfangled bottom-freezer fridges make it way too hard to get my snout into the good stuff – ice cubes hurt my teeth!

I also really like barbeques – those things rock!

Phewf! I’ve been writing for a solid twenty minutes now and I’m late for my nap.

Thanks to Louise for letting me share her computer, and for not taking it personally when I left hair on her seat and described her poetry as “derivative”.

Until next time! Zzzzzzz….
