APPLICATION: RECEPTIONIST AT YZERFONTEIN ANIMAL CLINIC
27 February 2017
Dear Dr. Coetzee,
Kena and I would like to apply for the position of receptionist at the Animal Clinic. Both of us are applying, as we envisage a job-sharing position.
Examples of how we meet your specified requirements are listed below.
• Friendly and vibrant
We’re friendly to everyone - who offers us toys and biscuits and massages.
I (Rusty) am a veritable ball of energy. Once I’m there the Animal Clinic will never be the same again. Kena, on the other hand, is relatively calm, so she will be good at handling emergencies.
• Great Telephone Skills
Our telephone skills are excellent.
Kena ignores the telephone altogether, thus you will never be disturbed when you are otherwise occupied. I bark loudly and continuously whenever someone is on the phone, which means that callers will have no doubt in their mind that they have reached the Animal Clinic.
• Take pride in your work
We take great pride in our work and we have received many compliments.
- Mommy told us that the holes which we dig in the garden are quite unbelievable. Furthermore, we never leave a job unfinished. After digging the holes we make sure to leave a trail of sand through every room in the house and all over the couches. We are most conscientious about that.
- Without being asked we put Mommy’s slippers in the garden so that they’re ready for her when she looks for them. Sometimes she calls us names which shouldn’t be uttered in the presence of little boys and girls, but we understand that she’s just frustrated with herself – and not with us - for not being able to find her slippers immediately.
- Hygiene is important to us, so we make sure that there are no pieces of food on the kitchen floor and always carry out an inspection after Mommy has finished cooking.
• Love animals
We love all animals.
- We love playing with other dogs, big and small, and we set up a welcoming chorus of barks when a dog walks past our gate. May we modestly add that even the neighbours have been so kind as to comment on our barking.
-
- We haven’t had much access to cats yet but we’re keen to enlarge our social network.
- We often invite birds to play, but much to our disappointment they haven’t accepted our invitations yet.
- When we go for a drive we bark at the ostriches, but they’re rather snobbish and walk on with disdain. However, we never give up which shows that we have great tenacity when faced with obstacles.
WEAK POINTS
Our one weak point is that we enjoy an afternoon nap. However, we will do this only during our lunch hour. During working hours it will be All Systems Go.
We believe that we are the ideal candidates for the job and we will bark for joy if you grant us an interview. References are available on request.
Yours sincerely,
Rusty Kena

Before I Was a Dog Mom
Before I was a Dog Mom:
I made and ate hot meals unmolested.
I had unstained, unfurred clothes.
I had quiet conversations on the phone,
even if the doorbell rang.
Before I was a Dog Mom:
I slept as late as I wanted
and never worried about how late I got to bed
or if I could get into my bed.
Before I was a Dog Mom:
I cleaned my house every day.
I never tripped over toys, stuffies, chewies
or invited the neighbor's dog over to play.
Before I was a Dog Mom:
I didn't worry if my plants, cleansers,
plastic bags, toilet paper, soap or deodorant
were poisonous or dangerous.
Before I was a Dog Mom:
I had never been peed on,
pooped on, drooled on,
chewed on or pinched by puppy teeth.
Before I was a Dog Mom:
I had complete control of my thoughts,
my body and mind.
I slept all night without sharing the covers or pillow.
Before I was a Dog Mom:
I never looked into big, soulful eyes and cried.
I never felt my heart break into a million pieces
when I couldn't stop a hurt.
I never knew something so furry and four-legged
could affect my heart so deeply.
Before I was a Dog Mom:
I had never held a sleeping puppy
just because I couldn't put it down.
I had never gotten up in the middle of the night
every 10 minutes to make sure all was well.
I didn't know how warm it feels inside
to feed a hungry puppy.
I didn't know that something so small
could make me feel so important.
Before I was a Dog Mom:
I had never known the warmth, the joy,
the love, the heartache, the wonderment or the
satisfaction
of being A Dog Mom.

What NOT to do with your dog
Dog runs in road. Owner comes out of house, stops at doorstep and starts screaming at the dog, very emotional. Dog ignores human. Dogs do not listen to unstable beings. When one dog wishes to tell something to another dog, it does not scream and yell.

What NOT to do with your dog
Dog barks at human to beg for the food the human is eating, human absentmindedly hands the dog a piece. This is not respectful in the canine world. A lower member of the pack would never dream of barking at a pack leader while eating.

What NOT to do with your dog
Dog sees another dog and starts to bark. Human tells dog, "No" and proceeds to pet their dog on the head, giving affection. This is really like saying, "Good dog for barking." Some mixed signals going on there
