Dad means well, but he is forcing Asa and I to spend our days in a hostile work environment.  Don’t get me wrong.  We love having Dad as a coworker!  We make a good team with me barking during conference calls to alert him to squirrels outside, while Asa supervises Dad’s every move by insisting on being glued to his side while he’s working.  However, our sensitive noses are under assault in this small office.  Dad’s essential oil diffuser has got to go!

I understand with the three of us working together in a small space things can get a bit smelly.  But who does Dad think he’s fooling trying to mask our odors with a diffusing mist?  It is an insult to our powerful noses!  Adding insult to injury, Dad chose lavender scent to relax us.  Relax us?  If Asa is anymore relaxed he’ll go into a coma!  As for me, a certified scent recognition dog, it’s overwhelming.  To put it in terms that perhaps Dad would understand, it is like being trapped in an elevator with a person wearing too much perfume.  I walk away from that room with my fur smelling like lavender.  Trust me Dad, no dog wants to smell like lavender.

Perhaps we could compromise and get a scent that we can all agree on?  Like spring mud, cow dung, or my personal favorite – town dump!  Oh dear, better skip that last one.  I’d be drooling all day if our office smelled like the town dump.  *Yawn* I’m suddenly feeling very tired though.  So I’ll let you think about my suggestion, while I take a quick nap….Zzzzzz….
