Meet Nellie

Breed: Spanador

Barking from: Wellington

What's up dog?

Little Miss Nellie starts her day with a huge booty shaking strut around the office saying hello to everyone. She then checks out all the bags on the floor to make sure she's got lunch under control. She has a wee splash of milk while Mum makes the morning coffee and then settles in on her bed under Mum's desk. Meetings are a treat. Nellie fully participates sitting in her own board chair and sometimes, so she can fully participate in the Zoom meeting, she gets a little adventurous and has a seat on the table. In the afternoon we have a wee walk out on the waterfront and a cuddle or two ... preferably sitting on Mum's chair with her - or if Mum is out - she will go around the room and get a pat from everyone. She makes sure that those pesky people in high vis cleaning windows on other nearby buildings know they cannot come near our place - a quick bark or two does the trick. Nellie is a great lunchtime shopper, and approves of nearby Country Road, Mecca, Ruby and Lululemon where she is so welcome and gets lots of pats. She is an awesome addition to the workday. She is really calm, shows her love to everyone in the office and makes sure she is fully included in the office activities - helping pre-rinse the dishes after lunch is her favourite!
