Employee Appreciation Day at For Love of a Dog Jewelry and Talking Dog Blog
Though I appreciated my canine assistants every day, today is Employee Appreciation Day. Without them there would be no For Love of a Dog Jewelry or Talking Dogs blog.
Jeffie takes his duties as Head of Security, very seriously. Just ask the UPS and FedEx guys! In addition, he's my right hand man. Whenever he senses I'm upset, you'll find him by my side with a paw on my leg to comfort me and remind me what's really important in life.
As I box and wrap jewelry purchases for shipping, Jeffie keeps an eye on the yard from the front porch of my jewelry studio. My Head of Shipping, Rudy, is right there with me making sure the ribbons are tied, the shipping labels affixed and there's a little dog hair included in each package. He also loves to ride along for any trip to the Post Office.
Though the image above says Rosie is still an Apprentice, she's really a Jill of all trades. Security may not be her favorite duty, but she likes to help with shipping and often provides support and inspiration for new dog jewelry.
No Employee Appreciation Day would be complete without honoring Tucker and Lucy B. Though gone from this earth, they still are very much in my heart.
Tucker was the original blogger here at Talking Dogs blog, in addition to his security duties.
Without Lucy B there likely would never have been any For Love of a Dog Jewelry. Not only the dog in my business logo, she was, and continues to be, my inspiration and my heart dog .

For Love of a Dog Jewelry April Giveaway | MISCHIEF
I'm afraid the mischief is all mine this time. (Well, the dogs would probably insist that the mischief is almost always mine!) I'd planned to announce this giveaway last week. With all the birthday celebrations - including a timely visit from Jeffie, Rudy and Rosie's human brother - time got away from me.
So, without further delay, please enter Jeffie's 8th Birthday Giveaway!
You could be the winner of this one of a kind handmade paw print necklace from For Love of a Dog. Perfect for both dog and cat lovers, it would make a pawtastic gift if you don't like to wear necklaces.
The centerpiece is a sage green based floral lampwork bead that I surrounded with glossy black obsidian gemstone beads and adorable double sided paw print lampwork beads. Length is 19-22". Retail value: $75
There will be one (1) winner. This giveaway is open worldwide. However, those of you who live outside the US must agree to be responsible for all Customs and VAT fees.
If you'd like to win this necklace - made by my own dog loving hands - just follow the directions in the rafflecopter below.

There are three removable pendants: a fat scarlet red lampwork heart, a big black onyx gemstone hearts, and a sweet heart with ruby red crystal - one side has a paw print; the other say I (heart) My Dog.
Wear them together as shown or one at a time for a fashion statement that's all your own.

Employee Appreciation Day at For Love of a Dog
In 1995 Workman Publishing created Employee Appreciation Day to promote a focus on all employees in all industries on employee recognition. Employee Appreciation Day is always celebrated the first Friday in March.
Though it's easy to get bogged down in the day to day tasks of running a business and writing a blog, there's no way I could forget how important and valuable my staff is to me.
And we're celebrating!
Brand new toys! Jeffie, Rudy and Rosie got to choose their favorite.
Jeffie scored the stuffie.
Though he seems to be pretty interested in what Rudy and Rosie selected.
Rosie and Jeffie both had to inspect these
Classic Cremes dog cookies from Three Dog Bakery.
It's a security thing, of course!
They seem to pass through the security check.
Once Security was finished with their examination,
Rudy was happy to chow down some party treats!
Truthfully, every day is Employee Appreciation Day at For Love of a Dog Jewelry! Without my very special employees, there would be no Talking Dogs blog and certainly no dog jewelry!

I Am Your Dog Poem Illustrated by the Talking Dogs | Not So Wordless Wednesday
I AM YOUR DOG
Author Unknown
I am your dog, and I have a little something I would like to whisper in your ear.
I know that you humans lead busy lives. Some have to work. Some have children to raise. It always seems like you are running here and there, often much too fast, often never noticing the truly grand things in life.
You smile at me; I see love in your eyes. What do you see in mine? Do you see a spirit? A soul inside, who loves you as no other in the world could? A spirit that would forgive all trespasses of prior wrongdoing for just a simple moment of your time?
So many times, you have been saddened by the words you read on that screen, of others of my kind, passing. Sometimes we die young and oh so quickly, sometimes so suddenly it wrenches your heart out of your throat. Sometimes, we age so slowly before your eyes that you may not even seem to know until the very end, when we look at you with grizzled muzzles and cataract clouded eyes. Still the love is always there, even when we must take that long sleep, to run free in a distant land.
I may not be here next week. Someday you will shed the water from your eyes, that humans have when deep grief fills their souls, and you will be angry at yourself that you did not have just "One more day" with me. Because I love you so, your sorrow touches my spirit and grieves me. We have NOW, together.
Someone very different from you, and here I am.
Now, come sit with me on the floor. Enter my world, and let time slow down if only for 15 minutes. Look deep into my eyes, and whisper to my ears. Speak with your heart, with your joy, and I will know your true self.
We may not have tomorrow, and life is oh so very short.
--Love, (on behalf of canines everywhere)
