golden advice

My friend and former colleague Sydney (and fellow golden retriever afficionado) had this advice for me as I begin my new job.

Remember these golden retriever tips:

• Perk your ears up and listen carefully before you decide to bark.
• You don't have a tail to wag, so share that beautiful smile to let people know you're friendly.
• Assume that all newcomers are friendly, but give them a thorough sniff-test to make sure you've judged correctly.
• Be loyal to those who feed and care for you.
• If you get stressed out, curl up and take a nap so you'll be ready to play again.
